HERRING. 
m 
It has been justly observed by Mr. Pennant, as 
very singular, that most nations give the name of 
their favourite dish to the facetious attendant on every 
mountebank. Thus the Dutch call him Pickle 
Herring ; the Italians, Macaroni ; the French, Jean 
Potage ; the Germans, Hans Wurst, (or Jack Sau- 
sage) ; and we dignify him with the title of Jack 
Pudding.
