TAILIEUCHUNG - THE GOURMET'S GUIDE TO EUROPE

Often enough, staying in a hotel in a foreign town, I have wished to sally forth and to dine or breakfast at the typical restaurant of the place, should there be one. Almost invariably I have found great difficulty in obtaining any information regarding any such restaurant. The proprietor of the caravanserai at which one is staying may admit vaguely that there are eating-houses in the town, but asks why one should be anxious to seek for second-class establishments when the best restaurant in the country is to be found under his roof.

My co-author and myself attempt to give him some details what his surroundings will be what dishes are the specialities of the house what wine a wise man will order and what bill he is likely to be asked to pay. Our ambition was to deal fully with the capitals of all the countries of Europe the great seaports the pleasure resorts and the show places.
