Ramsey, physician to King Charles the Second, wrote a curious treatise on the worms of the human body, in which he says, "_Caviale_ also is a fond dish of the Italians, made of the roes of sturgion, and altogether as unwholsome, if not much worse; invented by idle brains, and fansied by none but such as are ignorant what it is; wherefore I would have them consider the Italian proverb, Chi mangia di _Caviale_, Mangia moschi, merdi, & sale.
For it is only (as was said) the roes of sturgion powdred, pickled, and finely denominated _Caviale_, to be a bait for such woodcocks and dotrils that account every exotick fansie a real good." This commodity is still common in the North of Europe, and was formerly a considerable article of commerce between England and Russia.
