An English Sailor at a French Eating House A scene in French eating house. On the right is an English tar, wearing striped trousers, cropped jacket and a round hat. He is standing up and leaning over the table. One hand is on the table, the other holds out a plate with some sort of meat on it. He is looking at a surprised looking waiter wearing a red cap and apron, who says: "My Lor - Anglois - believe moi - dey be jollie petit patées - but if you like de Boeuf roté better dat is un aoutre chose." The sailor replies : "None of your jolly - pitty - pattys for me. If you patty me any more I'll pat your head you parley voo - I was born in a christian country - and like to eat whats wholesome - Shoes you call em do you - D--n me they are no more like shoes than I'm like a leg of mutton." On the far left is a table of French diners. Two are eating soup and the third is taking snuff. 30 May 1805
