SALMON-GUNDY. Apples, onions, veal or chicken, and
pickled herrings, minced fine, and eaten with oil and
vinegar; some derive the name of this mess from the
French words SELON MON GOUST, because the proportions of
the different ingredients are regulated by the palate of the
maker; others say it bears the name of the inventor, who
was a rich Dutch merchant; but the general and most
probable opinion is, that it was invented by the countess
of Salmagondi, one of the ladies of Mary de Medicis, wife
of King Henry IV. of France, and by her brought into
France.

SALMON or SALAMON. The beggars'sacrament or oath.
