Their meat is good for food; but heaven help anybody who is obliged to eat it, and when it is prepared, as it often is, by drying the steaks in the sun, then the toughness exceeds that of the tanned hide.

This mattered but little, as they carried a week's store of bread, black sausage, cheese, onions, garlic, and capsicums.
