2626. Smaller Joints
Geese, Turkeys, Poultry, Sucking-pigs, &c., should be
carved before being set on table
; especially in those cases where the whole or the principal part of such dishes is likely to be consumed.
2627. Handing Round
The carver should supply the plates, and the waiter hand them round, instead of putting the question to each guest as to which part he prefers, and then striving to serve him with it, to the prejudice of others present.
2628. Ladies
Ladies should be helped before gentlemen.
