Quotes Första Ängelsmännerna nästan bättre konsten, at väl steka en stek, än andra folkslag, som ock ej är underligt; emedan de fläste Ängelsmäns köks-vetenskap icke sträcker sig til stort annat, än stek och Pudding. The Englishmen understand almost better than any other people the art of properly roasting a joint, which also is not to be wondered at; because the art of cooking as practised by most Englishmen does not extend much beyond roast beef and plum pudding.
