Story 164: Quince
When a blintz was served to Prince Vince,
he shouted, "Nay, bring me pie and make it
mince. . . without the meat!"
The chef admitted he never heard of mince
. . . without the meat. So, he served him an
exotic pie called quince. But one bite
made the prince wince. "Water," he
yelled, "my mouth needs a rinse!"
Consequently, quince has never since been
served to the finicky prince.
