Deep-Frying and Fry Bread: Quotations

[They] accustom themselves to no set Meals, but eat night and day, when they have plenty of Provisions, or if they have got any thing that is a rarity. They are very patient of Hunger… Fashion of sitting at meals is on a mat spread on the ground, with their Legs lying out at length before them, and the dish between their Legs… never sit more than two together at a Dish… Spoons which they eat with, do generally hold half a pint; and they laugh at the English for using small ones, which they must be forc’d to carry so often to their Mouths, that their Arms are in Danger of being tir’d, before their Belly.
