Laying a table

The formal service is identical for all occasions. No food is set on the table, except ornamental dishes of fruit and flowers. The one unbreakable rule is that everything on the table must be geometrically spaced: the centerpiece in the actual centre: the places at equal distances and all utensils balanced. Beyond this rule you may set your tables as you choose.

The places are set with the plates. On the left of each plate, is put the salad fork; the meat fork is put next, and then the fish fork.

On the right of the plate, and nearest to it, is put the silver-or-steel-bladed salad knife, or if the salad is one for which no knife is necessary, the knife nearest the plate is the meat knife, next the fish knife, the edge of each toward the plate. Then the soup spoon and then the oyster fork.

Not more than three knives and three forks are on the table at the moment. Additional forks and knives may be put on the table during dinner as they needed.

A dinner napkin folded square and flat is laid on each plate: very fancing foldings are not in good taste.

The goblet or tumbler for water is placed directly above the knives at the right of the plate: next to it is a slight distance to the right the champagne glass: in front and between these two either the claret glass or the tall-stemmed glass for white wine. Somewhat to the right again-the cherry glass.

EATING OUT IN PARIS

French cuisine is a still evolving art. Traditional French cooking is butter-based and centres on meat, poultry and fish. Today, however, the chefs of many Parisian restaurants are becoming more interested in regional food and in simple, home-style fare which relies on fresh, seasonal ingredients. French cooking tends not to be highly spiced, although fresh herbs like chives and parsley are essential ingredients in the sauces that accompany most savoury dishes. One of the most enjoyable aspects of Pans is the diversity of places to eat. Bistros are small, often moderately-priced restaurants with a limited selection of dishes. Brasseries are larger, bustling eateries with immense menus, and most serve food throughout the day and are open late. Cafes (and some wine bars) open early and the majority close by 9 pm. They serve drinks and food all day long from a short menu of salads, sandwiches and eggs. At lunch most offer a small choice of hot daily specials.

The waiter usually takes your choice of entree (first course), then the plat (main course). Dessert is ordered after you have finished your main course unless there are some hot desserts which have to be ordered at the start of the meal.

The first course generally includes a choice of salads or vegetables or pate. Small fish dishes like smoked salmon, grilled sardines, herring, shellfish or oysters are also on offer. Main dishes usually include a selection of meat, poultry or fish served with frenchfries and vegetables. Highly recommended are monies marinieres (mussels steamed in wine), and chevre tiede sur un lit, de salade (grilled goat's cheese with a mixed-leaf salad).

Prices vary from extremely economical to astronomical. Prices usually include service. Although you do not have to leave a tip, it is common to do so and is based on 5-10% of the total.
