in glasses with Sippets. Oysters cold or pickled. Potted Meals. Fish. Birds.
Cheese. Good plain Cake sliced. Pies of Bird, or Fruit. Crabs. Lobster
Prawns. Cray-fish. Any of the list of sweet things. Fruits. A Sandwich set with
any of the above articles, placed a little distance from each other on the
table, looks well, without the tray, if preferred.
The lighter the things the better they appear, and glass intermixed has the best
effect. Jellies, different coloured things, and flowers, add to the beauty of
the table. An elegant supper may be served at a small expense by those who know
how to make trifles that are in the house form the greatest part of the meal.
Note.--Any of the following things may be served as a relish, with the cheese,
after dinner. Baked or pickled Fish done high. Dutch pickled Herring. Sardinias,
which eat like Anchovy but are larger. Anchovies. Potted Char. Ditto Lampreys.
Potted Birds made high. Caviare and Sippets of Toast. Salad. Radishes. French
Pie. Cold Butter. Potted Cheese. Anchovy Toast. Before serving a Dutch
Herring, it is usual to cut to the bones without dividing, at the distance of
two inches from head to tail, before served.
