It will thus be seen that there were eighteen kinds of fish and forty kinds 
of birds included in this comprehensive menu. Among the latter, the most 
extraordinary are certainly the Cuckoo and the two Owls. The document 
is marked “* Unique—£1 1s.,” also “‘ Very rare and curious.” It seems to 
have been purchased at Hone’s sale. ‘The Bush ” was long the principal 
inn in Bristol, but has long since disappeared—MuLter Curisry (Chignal 
St. James, Chelmsford). 
(The difficulty of procuring a ‘‘ Cuckoo” at Christmas casts a doubt 
upon this item. The name is probably a misprint for “ Curlew”; and 
2” owls ” coming between “ Geese” and “ Chicken,” should doubtless be 
read “* Fowls.” Who would eat two Owls and a Cuckoo at Christmas, even 
if he could get them ?—Ep].
