The natives are in general very good cooks, and contrive to make a great number of dished from the same material. Of the animals cooked were bullocks, roasted and boiled, as well as stewed, sheep, goats, venison, and the young elephant, pork both roasted and boiled, fowls, Guinean fowls, Muscovy ducks, and turkeys and of vegetables, yams, manioc, sweet potato, India corn or maize, with numerous varieties of underground peas, as well as many other sorts above ground. Their food is generally highly seasoned with pepper and palm-oil, which, when fresh, has an excellent flavour, and is very wholesome A sumptuous repast was then served up, consisting of roast, boiled, grilled, and devilled meats, vegetables, bread, and claret together with limonade gazeuse by way of drinks We were then called to the front, and a sucking-pig, fried whole, nine fowls, two ducks, and an abundance of stews, hashes, and cankies given to us Numerous huts were devoted to the sale of […] ready-cooked meat […].
Of these for two cowries about a mouthful could be purchased, the butcher dexterously carving Vauxhall slices from the joint with a knife […] and slapping the morsel on a plantain leaf, he sprinkled some pounded chillies upon it, and handed it to his customer with all the airs of a London street stall-keeper Our luncheon consists, daily, of fowl soup in a washhand-basin, and, generally, stewed fowls, mutton, besides a host of country dishes, rife with palm oil and peppers, yam, and cassado [ sic , cassava ] My own course during the day may be interesting to intending visitors: The vegetables were represented by yams, beans or maize, boiled whole or ground and made into a pudding like the fufu of the Gold Coast; while for dessert I had an abundant supply of eggs, oranges, limes, guavas, cocoa nuts, pine apples, and papaws, to say nothing of melons, onions, and ground nuts Gelele spilt a few drops of rum upon the ground, again imbibed, and dashed his glass upon the table.
It was a signal for all those present to do the same, and the attendants smashed everything, including the tables. This terminated the Khwe-ta-nun [ sic , Xwetanu ], or yearly customs for The elephant of Dahomey is of immense size, and is held, like all the large animals, in religious awe.
On certain occasions, or the grand festival, the flesh of the elephant is eaten by the king, and distributed by his majesty to the highest of his subjects. Two regiments of amazons are styled rangers of the forest, and one part of their duty is to supply the elephant-flesh for these feasts Des analogies ethnographiques existent pour ce type de festin.
