Note 1 — Chapter IV
Reading edition
Khalid would speak here of poached eggs, we believe. And the Americans, to be fair, are not so totally ignorant of the art of frying. They have lard––much worse than water––in which they cook, or poach, or fry––but the change in the name does not change the taste. So, we let Khalid’s stricture on fried eggs and boiled cabbage stand.––Editor.
