Written by: Paul Lacroix


"Le Roman de Claris," a manuscript which belongs to the commencement of
the fourteenth century, says that in a town winch was taken by storm the
following stores were found:--:


"Maint bon tonnel de vin,
Maint bon bacon (cochon), maint fromage a rostir."


("Many a ton of wine,
Many a slice of good bacon, plenty of good roasted cheese.")
