SALUD E PESETAS!
(Health and money! — A Spanish toast)
The daily menu for a Spanish caballero, or gentleman, might
as well be put down under drinks, for the Spaniard rises late
and has a pony of liqueur with his chocolate, wine with his lunch,
manzanilla (light sherry) before his late dinner, wine again with
that, a nightcap of brandy and so to bed.
Desayuno, early breakfast; chocolate or coffee, usually with
anise liqueur, of which the French anisette is a sweeter imita-
tion. There are a score of brands of anise, each with its in-
dividual flavor, but Anis del Mono, with the monkey grinning
on the label, is an old standby likely to best please the American
palate.
