Abstract:

"Scene in the kitchen of a large London house, area railings being just visible through a high barred window (left). A grossly fat doctor, his cane under his arm, grasps with both hands the hand of a French chef (left), who says: "Ah Mister Docteur! how you do Sare! you see I make de friqasee de ragoo, and de Kickshaw!!!" The doctor: "Yes my good friend I see you are hard at it, and I never can quit the house of my rich patients without shaking hands with the cook. I owe you much, for you confer great favours on me, your skill in kickshaws and the ingenious art of poisoning enables us medical Men to ride in our carriages, without your assistance we should all go on foot and be stared [sic]!!-" A fat cook (right) with a rolling-pin says to a kitchen-maid who holds a spitted sucking-pig: "I say Bet let's kick him for a fee." There is a wide fireplace with a large pot on the flames, and a huge joint of beef on a spit protected by a screen. Beside this is a flat-topped brick stove, with two fireplaces (left), on which pots are cooking. The floor is flagged."--British Museum online catalogue.
