The grand duke took a large mouthful and threw up his eyes as he swallowed it . ` Oh ! oh ! this may well be called the Queen of Pasties , and at the same time my dwarf must be called the king of cooks . Do n't you think so , dear friend ? ' The prince took several small pieces , tasted and examined carefully , and then said with a mysterious and sarcastic smile : ` The dish is very nicely made , but the Suzeraine is not quite complete -- as I expected . ' The grand duke flew into a rage . ` Dog of a cook , ' he shouted ; ` how dare you serve me so ? I 've a good mind to chop off your great head as a punishment . ' ` For mercy 's sake , do n't , your highness ! I made the pasty according to the best rules ; nothing has been left out . Ask the prince what else I should have put in . ' The prince laughed . ' I was sure you could not make this dish as well as my cook , friend Long Nose . Know , then , that a herb is wanting called Relish , which is not known in this country , but which gives the pasty its peculiar flavour , and without which your master will never taste it to perfection . ' The grand duke was more furious than ever . ` But I WILL taste it to perfection , ' he roared . ` Either the pasty must be made properly to-morrow or this rascal 's head shall come off . Go , scoundrel , I give you twenty-four hours respite . ' The poor dwarf hurried back to his room , and poured out his grief to the goose .
` Oh , is that all , ' said she , ` then I can help you , for my father taught me XXXXX know all plants and herbs .
