A Remarkable Dinner
The news from St. Petersburg that
some Russian scientists have been
making a meal off the tlesh of a 100,000
year old mammoth recalls a remarka
ble dinner given by a Brussels antiqua
ry named Goebel.
“At the dinner,” said one of the
guests, “I ate apples that ripened
more than 1,800 years ago; bread
made from wheat grown before the
Children of Israel passed through the
Red Sea, and spread with butter that
was made when Elizabeth was Queen of
England, and I washed down the repast
with wine that was old when Colum
bus was playing barefoot with the boys
of Genoa.”
The apples which formed part of the
dessert were grown before Pompeii was
overwhelmed; in fact they were res
cued from its ruins. The wine was re
covered from an old vault in the city
of Corinth, and the wheat was found
in a chamber in one of the pyramids.
It is interesting to know that this an
tiquarian fare was all excellent, the
fruit particularly being described as of
as tine flavor as if it had just been
taken from the trees.—The Sun.
