QUALITY OF MEAT, FISH, VEGETABLES, FRUIT, ETC.

The quality of meat depends entirely on the quality of food with which

the animal has been fed.

For fish, the taste or quality is according to the kind of water in

which they have lived; fish from a muddy pond smell of mud, while fish

from a clear brook are delicious.

The same difference exists in vegetables and fruit; their quality is

according to the quality or nature of the ground in which they have been

grown.
