This is a dinner of the day at Ritter's, taken
haphazard from a little pile of menus, and it may be accepted as a
typical Homburg dinner:--
Potage Crecy au Riz.
Truite de Lac. Sce. Genevoise. Pommes Natures.
Longe de Veau a la Hongroise.
Petits pois au Jambon.
Chapons de Chalons rotis.
Salade and Compots. Peches a la Cardinal.
Fruits. Dessert.
The hotels at Homburg are always quite full in the season. No
hotel-keeper puts any pressure on his guests to dine at his hotel, and
you may have your bedroom in one hotel and dine at another every night
of your life so far as the proprietors care. All those who have the
luck to be made members of the Golf Club take tea there, and eat cake
such as is only to be found at school-treats in England. The restaurant
at the Kurhaus goes up and down in public favour. Everybody goes to its
terrace in the evening, and fashion at the present time has, I believe,
ordained that on one particular day of the week it is "smart" to dine
there. If the restaurant remains as excellently catered for as it was
when I last visited Homburg, it is well worth including in the round of
dinners.
Wiesbaden
At Wiesbaden you generally dine where you sleep, in your hotel.
