Among the foods we were served, I was able to identify various daintily dressed fish; but I couldn't make up my mind about certain otherwise excellent dishes, and I couldn't even tell whether their contents belonged to the vegetable or the animal kingdom.
Entre los platos que nos sirvieron reconocí diversos pescados delicadamente cocinados, pero hubo otros sobre los que no pude pronunciarme, aunque eran excelentes, hasta el punto de que hubiera sido incapaz de afirmar si su contenido pertenecía al reino vegetal o al animal.
