The penguin, as an animal, seems to be made up o fan equal proportion of a mammal, fish, and fowl. If it is possible to imagine a piece of beef, an odriferous codfish, and a canvas-back duck, roasted in a pot, with blood and cod-liver oil for sauce, the illustration will be complete.'
Curt Mast, the original distiller of JÃ¤germeister, was an enthusiastic hunter. Translated literally, JÃ¤germeister means hunt-master, combining JÃ¤ger (hunter) and Meister (master, in the sense of an accomplished professional). A possible free translation might be gamekeeper.
JÃ¤ger is a German military term adopted during the Age of Enlightenment in German-speaking states to describe elite light infantry, especially skirmishers. The military usage of JÃ¤ger, which literally means hunter in German, is similar to that of SchÃ¼tze, which literally means shooter. While both terms continue, in some modern instances, to carry their original and literal connotations, both have broadened in usage over time.
