But, whatever the food, the Spaniard has no objection to taking it al fresco, and this is in part the reason why bringing meals for a train journey is universal. As is fitting in a river town which is a busy port (for oversea steamers come all the way up the river to Seville), shell-fish, mysterious in appearance, but tasty enough, or crabs, or oysters a la diable, figure largely in the 92 SPANISH SKETCHES native menu of Seville, especially when the Sevillano drinks manzanilla, the special drin...k of the district, made from a bitter herb (either rue or camomile), which yields a fer- mented liquor something between a cider and a vermouth in flavour. It was the local attachment to shell-fish which gave point to some verses in the Seville daily about the inferiority to virtuous Seville of wicked Paris, where men of science have discovered how to make artificial snails the shells alone being genuine. Business, again, flows in Seville in a strong and steady stream ; at the wharfs with little that is characteristic, but in the centre of the city with much that is novel.
