But Oblonsky, though used to very different dinners, found everything delicious; the herb beer, the bread and butter, and especially the smoked goose and pickled mushrooms, the nettle soup and the fowl with melted-butter sauce, the Crimean white wine – everything was delicious, everything was excellent.
Ma Stepan Arkad’ic, pur abituato a pranzi d’altro genere, trovava tutto eccellente; la salsa verde e il pane e il burro, gli uccelletti e i funghi, la minestra d’ortiche e la gallina in salsa bianca e il vino bianco di Crimea, tutto per lui era straordinario ed eccellente.
