--- FISH NUN

We have already seen how Leviathan, according to the Talmud, is to form a feast for the Saints ; and on turning to the Koran we find a very similar belief, for the food of Mohammed's Paradise is to consist, we are there told, of the flesh of the ox Balam and of the fish Nun. To allay any apprehension on the part of the faithful that these viands will not " go round," as a schoolboy would say, we are reassured on reading that the liver alone of the fish Nun will supply an adequate portion for seventy thousand hungry souls.
