FOOD ECONOMY IN 1795.
In urging tho people to restrict their consumption of meat—meat being very dear, and necessary for the troops—the British Board of Trade has not felt it necessary to mention what example its members arc themselves setting in this respect. In the European crisis of 179.5 —when the Privy Council implored all families to adjure puddings and pies—tho Privy Councillors expressly intimated their own intention to have only fish, meat, vegetables, and household bread made partly of rye. They went on to recommend that the maximum allowance should be one quartern loaf per head per week, tho loaf to he brought, on to the tablo for each to help himself, so that, none should lie wasted. Tlie King himself had none but household bread on his table. The rich were asked to have no soups or gravies, and to take only the prime cuts, leaving tho others for the poor.
