The Epicurean or Connoisseur Manual (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt From The Epicurean Or Connoisseur Manual A Dinner Party May Be Considered As Holding The Highest Rank Among Entertainments. In No Other Social Function Is Etiquette So Strictly Observed. There Are Prescribed Rules For The Form Of The Invitation, The Manner Of Assigning Each Guest His Place At The Table, The Manner Of Serving The Dinner, Etc., And When These Rules Are Followed There Need Be No Embarrassments. It Should Always Be Remembered That The Social Part Of The Entertainment Is On A Higher Plane Than The Gastronomic One, Though The Latter Must By No Means Be Slighted. A Fig For Your Bill Of Fare, Give Me A Bill Of Your Company, Is Generally Felt, And The Hostess Should Bring Together Only Such People As She Believes Will Be Mutually Agreeable.
