| This soup cup and saucer was for “drinking” turtle soup. – If served in cups it is proper to say that it is “drinking soup,” if served in an ordinary soup plate and carried to the mouth by means of a spoon, it is proper to say that it is “eating soup.” |
Table Talk from Carson City, Nevada
The serving of salad at a dinner is a matter of taste with the hostess. As a rule the Americans serve salad either immediately before or after the soup, as an appetizer. The French serve the salad with the roast to settle the dinner.
Everything that is taken as food, is as a rule, eaten. Boullion is a clarified soup. and whether one eats or drinks boullion depends upon the manner of serving the same. If served in cups it is proper to say that it is “drinking soup,” if served in an ordinary soup plate and carried to the mouth by means of a spoon, it is proper to say that it is “eating soup.” Generally speaking, when other soups are in question, it is proper to say “eat soup.” In France bouillon is always served at dinner. If served at a luncheon it should be served in cups. Soup should be eaten from the side of the spoon.
The proper way to handle a dinner knife at table is to grasp the handle in the palm of the hand, close the third, fourth and little finger over it, rest the index finger on the back of the blade and use the thumb to steady the blade. – San Francisco Call, 1900
