Their dinner consisted of four dishes of different soups, each garnished with two young paroquets, a large dish of bouille that weighed two hundred weight, two roasted monkeys of a delicious flavor, three hundred hummingbirds in one dish, and six hundred flybirds in another; some excellent ragouts, delicate tarts, and the whole served up in dishes of rock-crystal. Several sorts of liquors, extracted from the sugarcane, were handed about by the servants who attended.
Sirviéron en ella quatro sopas con dos papagayos cada una, un buytre cocido que pesaba doscientas libras, dos monos asados de un sabor muy delicado, trescientos colibríes en un plato, y seiscientos páxaros-moscas en otro, exquisitas frutas, y pastelería deliciosa, todo en platos de cristal de roca; y los mozos y sirvientas del meson escanciaban varios licores sacados de la caña de azúcar.
