Abstract

When eating abroad, and conducting those operations necessary and incidental to the intake and mastication, and, one may hope, to the pleasurable enjoyment of such flesh, fish, fowl or other nutriment needed to sustain our strength, maintain our bodily vigour, or to pander to our base appetites, so difficult to resist, it is quite customary, and indeed, unfortunately often unavoidable, to perform these alimentary exercises to the accompaniment of some form of music, usually not too good of its kind, and often even worse than that. The connections between food (and drink) and music are many and various, continually appearing in history and in our literature; “ music … the food of love,” and again, “ There's sure no passion in the human soul but finds its food in music.”
