Abstract:
Two designs on one plate, divided by the first title (Mock turtle). The first design shows the profiles of an ugly, elderly couple (he has a large carbuncular or bulbous nose) sticking out their tongues to touch; between them is a large bowl and above their heads two doves bill on a branch. The second design below, titled 'Puff paste', is an image of a fat cook, smiling contentedly, rolling out puff paste, while a hideous footman caresses her. To the left of the pastry on the table-top is a bowl of apples labeled 'Codling tart'; to the right, a bag labeled 'Apple Dumpling' and a tied bag labeled 'Batter Pudding' in a bowl

"Design in a circle. A man and wife seated at a circular breakfast-table. The man, who is obese and a gourmand, sits in profile to the right. holding a bowl with a spoon in it in one hand, a bill of fare in the other inscribed "Soup . . . Turbot. Duck . . Lamb". He is wearing spectacles and a large piece of food projects from his mouth. The cook (right) is showing his master a dead duck, which he holds up in his right hand; in his left, and partly supported by his knee, is a tray on which are two lobsters and a turbot. The lady, who is also fat, holds up her hands in horror at the cook, who, from his leanness, his profile, and his bag-wig, solitaire, and ruffled shirt, is evidently a Frenchman. He wears a white cap and an apron, a large knife is thrust under his belt. On the left a footman enters carrying in each hand a plate piled with muffins. Tea-things are on the table. Under the table a small dog, befouling the floor, is partly visible. Behind is a screen of several leaves, on the top of which is a bird, resembling a large dove."--British Museum online catalogue
