Salmi

A salmi is an oldfangled, richly flavored game stew — often served, like chipped beef, over toast — that was a delicacy popular in the 1890s. ❋ Unknown (2010)

– Henry made a "salmi" of the quail for breakfast that was truly delicious: I could be a gourmet, if I could always feed on such salmis. ❋ Unknown (1856)

I like to see them wink at a glass of claret, as if they had an intimate acquaintance with it, and discuss a salmi — poor boys — it is only when they grow old that they know they know nothing of the science, when perhaps their conscience whispers them that the science is in itself little worth, and that a leg of mutton and content is as good as the dinners of pontiffs. ❋ Unknown (2006)

This is a nice mode of serving the remains of roasted game, but when a superlative salmi is desired, the birds must be scarcely more than half roasted for it. ❋ Mrs. F.L. Gillette (N/A)

This is very good to surround grilled chicken or turkey legs, or for a salmi of duck or hare. ❋ Various (N/A)

But we have no time to dwell upon our personal fascinations, or to speculate upon the cause of their increase within the last half hour; no eyes have we save for that Lucullian _salmi_ steaming before us; and, like ourselves, all around us are absorbed in absorbing. ❋ Various (N/A)

He was smoking a cigarette, with an untasted salmi of something on his plate and a half-empty bottle of Sauterne before him, and he was quite silent. ❋ Unknown (1916)

The salmi which followed it was good, and even the Feodora chef could not have sent up a better rum omelette. ❋ George A. Birmingham (1907)

What an admirable _salmi_ this is; undoubtedly the final end of the pheasant. ❋ Arthur Machen (1905)

This salmi of fig - peckers (or of some similar bird, for it is so ingeniously flavored and spiced, that I cannot be sure) is miraculous. ❋ Edward Lucas White (1900)

Tarasconners are not very superstitious and eat swallows in a salmi when they can get them. ❋ Harold Begbie (1900)

A few stoned olives or sliced olives may be added in the place of the mushrooms, and you would then have salmi of duck. ❋ Unknown (1893)

"I think, if I were you, I should have some lunch," he said, gently pushing the admirable _salmi_ which the butler had left in front of him towards his old friend. ❋ Humphry Ward (1885)

And he put down his pheasant _salmi_ with a clatter, while his wife handed him bread and other propitiations. ❋ Humphry Ward (1885)

His heart failed him -- it figures as a salmi of game. ❋ Henry Labouchere (1871)

It was delicious; and I fancied I could recognize a salmi of partridge. ❋ Houdin, Robert (1858)

The salmi of partridge appeared; the inspiriting wine sparkled in the glasses; Toff surpassed himself in all the qualities which made a servant invaluable at a supper table. ❋ Wilkie Collins (1856)

And Toff, entering at the moment to lay the cloth, answered respectfully, "Hurry the young person, sir, or the salmi will be spoilt." ❋ Wilkie Collins (1856)
