Bass’ Cheeks.

Bass’ checks is the very latest gastronomical novelty. They do not figure on case menus yet and arc found only at the most gorgeous and extravagant private dinners. The dish oomes very high because it takes about a ton of bass to furnish a small dish of cheeks. The cheek of u buss is a tiny nugget of the tenderest and most delicately flavored meat, found in the lower part of the head on either side. This is lifted out aud the remainder of the buss is tossed away. One Philadelphia hotel man has achieved a reputation in this city and New York by his preparation of bass’ cheeks, and everytime he receives a big order be creates a corner in the bass market.— [Philadelphia Record.
