Sentences

Les sardines sont ailleurs l’aliment du peuple ; celles que nous prenons aux environs de Phalère mériteraient d’être servies à la table des dieux, surtout quand on ne les laisse qu’un instant dans l’huile.

The pilchards taken in other countries are the food of the common people ; those we catch in the vicinity of Phalerum are worthly of the table of the gods, especially when left to steep only for a moment in boiling oil.
