The Dutch hail suffered
tbo hinds of .Spain, the stronghold of
Homan Catholicism, that their K. fi
Church, the church of «early Manhattan,
abhorred tho observances of Romo quite
as much as they abhorred tho devil, and
were in the,:- way quite «3 ultra-Protest
ant as the Puritans of Ngw England
their;.
. 7: . latter were so careful t
correspondenco with Papistical
that their day of fasting, of prnyi
tags and of all penitential observances
«k Thursday,, which iu the Roman
church is next to Sunday ns a gala day,
while Friday was with the Puritans the
tunal day for a-iy eort of merry making.
The oddest of all those transpositions,
however, was removing the weekly tLsli
dinner from Friday to Saturday, on
which Utter day every well regulated
New England family rut down to what
waa called a "salt fish dinner.” which
seems, according to tradition, to have
been n very elaborate affair, f r the ii-li
must bo of the quality known . i
"dun," and to be perfectly cookt .l mu-t
be packed between two white IL»h, the
whole being laid without bending in a
copper fish kettle and steeped, but not
boiled. The oqtcr Ibth wore then taken
off and thrown awayjknd the center one
was served whole with white wince,
pork scraps, young beets, panmijm and
potatoes. This was the traditional '‘salt
iish dinu'jr” of olden times in ^inssachu-
setts, nu 1 the “survival of tho fittest” is
nen in the fish balls that still grace ev
ery Sunday morning breakfast table in
New England.
