There was a little heap of split peas, three or four remarkably small potatoes  at least, I suppose they were potatoes; if not, they were pea nuts boiled soft,  some caraway seeds, a very young looking fish, apparently of the stickleback breed, and some red paint. It was quite a little dinner all to itself. THERE WAS A LITTLE HEAP OF SPLIT PEAS THREE OR FOUR REMARKABLY SMALL POTATOES AT LEAST I SUPPOSE THEY WERE POTATOES IF NOT THEY WERE PEANUTS BOILED SOFT SOME CARAWAY SEEDS A VERY YOUNG LOOKING FISH APPARENTLY OF THE STICKLEBACK BREED AND SOME RED PAINT IT WAS QUITE A LITTLE DINNER ALL TO ITSELF
t the views of foreign customers. I mention that we had dinner, not because I think that the information will prove exciting to the reader, but because I wish to warn my countrymen, travelling in Germany, against undue indulgence in Liptauer cheese. I am fond of cheese, and of trying new varieties of cheese; so that when I looked down the cheese department of the bill of fare, and came across "liptauer garnit," an article of diet I had never before heard of, I determined to sample it. It was not a tempting-looking cheese. It was an unhealthy, sad-looking cheese. It looked like a cheese that had seen trouble. In appearance it resembled putty more than anything else. It even tasted like putty--at least, like I should imagine putty would taste. To this hour I am not positive that it was not putty. The garnishing was even more remarkable than the cheese. All the way round the plate were piled articles that I had never before seen at a dinner, and that I do not ever want to see there again. T THIS IS ONLY DONE TO MEET THE VIEWS OF FOREIGN CUSTOMERS I MENTION THAT WE HAD DINNER NOT BECAUSE I THINK THAT THE INFORMATION WILL PROVE EXCITING TO THE READER BUT BECAUSE I WISH TO WARN MY COUNTRYMEN TRAVELLING IN GERMANY AGAINST UNDUE INDULGENCE IN LIPTAUER CHEESE I AM FOND OF CHEESE AND OF TRYING NEW VARIETIES OF CHEESE SO THAT WHEN I LOOKED DOWN THE CHEESE DEPARTMENT OF THE BILL OF FARE AND CAME ACROSS LIPTOWER GARNET AN ARTICLE OF DIET I HAD NEVER BEFORE HEARD OF I DETERMINED TO SAMPLE IT IT WAS NOT A TEMPTING LOOKING CHEESE IT WAS AN UNHEALTHY SAD LOOKING CHEESE IT LOOKED LIKE A CHEESE THAT HAD SEEN TROUBLE IN APPEARANCE IT RESEMBLED PUTTY MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE IT EVEN TASTED LIKE PUTTY AT LEAST LIKE I SHOULD IMAGINE PUTTY WOULD TASTE TO THIS HOUR I AM NOT POSITIVE THAT IT WAS NOT PUTTY THE GARNISHING WAS EVEN MORE REMARKABLE THAN THE CHEESE ALL THE WAY ROUND THE PLATE WERE PILED ARTICLES THAT I HAD NEVER BEFORE SEEN AT A DINNER AND THAT I DO NOT EVER WANT TO SEE THERE AGAIN
