SECOND SUPPLEMENT TO THE TABLE.

A WORD OF EXPLANATION.

A word or two in regard to the uses for which this work has been especially designed might not be amiss. It has been the aim of the author to reach the private family rather than the hotel or restaurant. Each recipe as given is intended to be amply sufficient for six (6) persons. A larger or smaller number can easily be provided for, simply by increasing or diminishing, proportionately, the different ingredients. For instance: In providing for three persons, take one-half the quantity that is necessary for six persons; for nine persons, increase the quantity one-half; and for twelve, double the quantity, and so on.

A “Pinch of Salt” represents 205 grains, or a tablespoonful.

“Half a Pinch of Pepper” represents 38 grains, or a teaspoonful.

A “third of a Pinch of Nutmeg” represents 13 grains, or half a teaspoonful.

TABLE ETIQUETTE.

When a dinner is given to near relatives, or very old acquaintances, table etiquette is not so rigorously observed as when a distinguished or specially invited guest, or guests, are entertained.

At every dinner given to invited guests the host presides. His place is at the head of the table. As every long table has two ends, the head is usually distinguished as the end nearest the window side, or opposite the main entrance to the dining-room.

The principal guest occupies the seat to the right of the host.

Should it be a dinner given to gentlemen only, those standing highest in “society” should be placed nearest the host or the guest.

When ladies are participating, they should be so placed as to be seated between two gentlemen, and _vice versa_; but never so that a gentleman is seated next his wife.

If a host invites a married couple, the gentleman sits to the right and the lady to the left of the host.

If the host be married, the hostess occupies the seat next to the invited guest.

On the arrival of the guests, the ladies and gentlemen should be shown to different rooms, where they may remove their “wraps.” They are then shown to the parlor, where they are received by the host and hostess. The interval, until dinner is announced, is spent in introductions and social intercourse.

When dinner is announced, the host introduces the gentlemen to the ladies whom they are to escort and entertain during dinner.

The host, with the lady of the principal guest, now leads to the dining-room, followed by the hostess and guests.

When dinner is over the host leads again for the parlors. The ladies may then be served with tea, and the gentlemen retire for an interval to the smoking-room, where cigars should be served.

Be attentive to ladies who are seated near you. Even when servants are present, obligingly pass anything that may be desired by others.

After each course is finished, lay knife and fork on your plate parallel to each other. The knife on the right, the fork on the left side.

Should, unfortunately, any mistakes or accidents occur, let them pass without any undue observation. Do not, by any motion or look, increase the unpleasantness of the situation.

While a course is being served, do not show too much haste; however, it is entirely unnecessary to wait until all have been served. This does not apply to the first course. Should the first course consist of oysters or soup, wait until all have been served. Commence then, as soon as the host does.

Table etiquette does not, necessarily, compel you to accept every course or dish. But it is a serious breach of etiquette to examine a dish and then refuse it.

Everything that can be cut without the knife should be cut with the fork. For instance: fish, sweet-breads, bouchées, or vegetables.

Be careful to make no noise with the knives, forks, or dishes. Avoid the smacking of lips while eating or drinking.

Should anything objectionable be found on your plate, quietly ignore it. Any demonstration in this direction might seriously mar the beauty of the dinner.

Unfold the napkin on your lap; never put it around the neck, nor tuck it under your collar.

EGGS.

=1395. Eggs Molet.=--Take six fresh eggs, drop them all at the same time with a skimmer or a spoon into boiling water, and let boil for five minutes and a half, but no longer; lift them up, and immediately drop them into cold water for two minutes, then take them up carefully; peel them--seeing that the white is intact--then keep them in a little warm consommé or water. Have a quart of hot purée of chestnuts (No. 131), place it in the pastry-bag (No. 1079), in which you previously slide down a fancy tube (No. 3), then nicely decorate the border of a silver dish, large enough to hold the six eggs, also a little at the bottom to lay the eggs over. Place the dish in the hot oven for two minutes, then pour in the centre of the dish a gill of demi-glace sauce (No. 185); gently lay the eggs in the centre of the dish, and serve.

The above eggs can be served in various ways--with chicory garnishing, spinach, sorrel, Spanish sauce, plain, etc.

=1396. Eggs à la W. B. Kendall.=--Have six medium-sized, thoroughly ripe, red and sound tomatoes, wash and dry them; cut away a piece an inch in diameter at the bottom of the tomatoes, including the stems; remove the seed with a vegetable scoop. Lightly butter a little sautoire, then gently lay the tomatoes in the pan, the cut part upward, mix one tablespoonful of salt with a teaspoonful of pepper, and with it equally season the inside of the tomatoes; sprinkle their surface with a little clarified butter, then place in a very hot oven for three minutes. Remove them from the oven, place the sautoire on a table, then crack one fresh egg into each tomato, place them in the oven again for two minutes, remove them. Arrange six fried bread croûtons on a hot dish, then with cake-turner take the tomatoes one by one and lay them over each croûton. Chop up very fine one sound peeled shallot, one green pepper, and a half a clove of sound garlic, place these in a sautoire with a tablespoonful of clarified butter, range the pan on the corner of the hot stove, and slowly simmer for four minutes, then add a gill of tomato sauce (No. 205), and one drop of tabasco sauce; cook for three minutes. Strain the same through a sieve into a hot bowl, sharply pressing the peppers with a wooden spoon. Pour the sauce now around the tomatoes, but not on top of them, and send to the table.

=1397. Eggs à la Villeroi.=--Take three fresh, hard boiled eggs, cut each one into half, lengthwise, remove the yolks, and chop up the latter very fine, leaving the whites on a plate for further action. Chop up very fine one medium-sized sound truffle, one ounce of cooked smoked beef tongue--the red part by preference. Place these in a sautoire with a tablespoonful of Madeira wine, reduce on the hot range until almost dry, then add the chopped-up yolks, and a tablespoonful of poulette sauce (No. 598). Season with a tablespoonful of salt and a teaspoonful of pepper, mix all well together. Then stuff the six half egg whites with the preparation evenly divided, and giving them an oval shape. Have a gill of poulette sauce (No. 598), then with a fork steep each egg in it, so as to completely cover them with the sauce. Place them on a dish and let cool off. Beat up an egg in a bowl with two tablespoonfuls cold milk, gently roll the eggs in it, then roll them in fresh bread-crumbs. Fry them in very hot fat for five minutes. Take them up with a skimmer, dress on a hot dish with a folded napkin, and serve with a gill of cream sauce (No. 181) in a bowl separate.

=1398. Eggs à la Buckley.=--Take six hard boiled eggs, cut them in halves crosswise, take out the yolks, place them in a bowl, then with a spoon mash them with an ounce of good butter, season with a teaspoonful of salt and half a teaspoonful of pepper, add a teaspoonful of freshly chopped chives, and a teaspoonful of chopped parsley, one tablespoonful of cold milk, and two tablespoonfuls of very fresh bread-crumbs. Mix the whole well together with a spoon, then with the preparation fill the hollow space of the twelve half eggs just even up to the surface. Close them together so as to give them their original shape. Then carefully press a skewer through one egg, right in the centre lengthwise, then another, so as to have two on each skewer, repeat the same with the other four. Lay them in a sautoire with a gill of white broth (No. 99). Cover the sautoire with either a copper or tin cover, and place in the oven for five minutes. Remove them; have a hot dish ready with three canapés, as for No. 832. Arrange the skewers over each canapé, and serve with the following sauce.

Cut into small dice-shaped pieces four mushrooms, one good-sized sound truffle, and one ounce of cooked chicken breast; place these in a sautoire with half a wine-glass of white wine. Reduce it on the range for three minutes, or until almost dry, then add a gill of poulette sauce (No. 598). Continually stir until very hot, but do not allow it to boil. Now pour the sauce around the eggs on the canapés, but not over them, then serve.

=1399. Eggs à la Jay Gould.=--Prepare in a sautoire two ounces of good butter, half a gill of Allemande sauce (No. 210), three tablespoonfuls of grated Parmesan cheese and one tablespoonful of white broth (No. 99). Place on the hot range and stir until the cheese is thoroughly dissolved, then place the pan on the corner of the range to keep warm. Take six hard boiled shelled eggs. Cut each one into four even slices crosswise, season with a tablespoonful of salt and a teaspoonful of pepper equally divided. Lightly butter a silver dish. Arrange a very thin layer of the above garnishing over it. Take the sliced eggs and lay one slice on the dish, then a very small thin slice of Swiss cheese--then again a slice of egg and a slice of cheese--always keeping them one overlapping another, both eggs and cheese; continue the same with the rest, giving a crown shape around the dish.

Pour half a gill of hot tomato sauce (No. 205) on top of both eggs and cheese, equally divided. Now pour the balance of the garnishing over all, also equally divided; lightly sprinkle the top with a very little clarified butter, and then place in a brisk oven for eight minutes, so that it should get a good brown color. Remove from out the oven and immediately send to the table.

=1400. Eggs à la W. M. Evarts.=--Have six hard boiled shelled eggs, carefully cut away the third part of each egg on the surface. Remove the yolks without breaking the whites, leave the whites on a plate until further action; thoroughly mash the yolks in a bowl with a spoon; add a teaspoonful of grated Parmesan cheese, a tablespoonful of Allemande sauce (No. 210), half a teaspoonful of anchovy sauce. Season with one tablespoonful of salt and half a teaspoonful of pepper. Knead all well together, then fill the inside of the eggs with the preparation, and giving them an oval shape a quarter of an inch over the surface. Cut three of the six pieces into small strips lengthwise a quarter of an inch thick, gently lay one strip over each egg crosswise--right in the centre, so that, when completed, they will represent small fancy baskets. Neatly decorate their surface with a little cooked jardinière; arranged in this way they will represent perfect baskets of abundance. Arrange a small layer of the preparation for each egg on a silver dish just wide enough to hold each one firmly. Place the eggs now on top of each layer, pour a gill of Colbert sauce (No. 190) around the dish, but none over the eggs. Cover them with a piece of well-buttered paper, then place in the oven--rather moderate--for two minutes. Take from out the oven and immediately send to the table.

Add now half a wine glass of white wine (but not sweet) to the cheese, mix the wine and cheese well together, then add the tongue, truffle, and mushrooms.

Cut six hard shelled boiled eggs in halves lengthwise, remove the yolks without breaking the whites; mash the yolks and place in the pan with the rest of the preparation, mix the whole well together for three minutes while cooking.

Stuff the twelve half whites with the preparation--up to the level; then close them, so as to represent six original eggs. Have a silver dish, lightly buttered, ready, then arrange the balance of the stuffing right in the centre of the dish, giving a pyramid shape; place the eggs at the base of the pyramid upright, so they will lightly lean against it.

Cover the whole with a gill of very thick tomato sauce highly seasoned, sprinkle a very little grated Parmesan cheese over all, then place in the oven for fifteen minutes. Remove from the oven and serve very hot.

=1402. Eggs à la Geo. O. Jones.=--Take six hard shelled boiled eggs, cut away at the pointed end of each egg a piece half an inch thick, and at the other end a quarter of an inch thick.

Add now the mushrooms, season with a tablespoonful of salt and half a teaspoonful of pepper, also half a saltspoonful of grated nutmeg, squeezing in the juice of a quarter of a sound lemon, mix all well together, then add a gill of milk, and let cook for five minutes, lightly stirring meanwhile. Strain through a fine sieve into a bowl, and keep it in a warm place until further action.

Have six hard shelled boiled eggs, and with the point of a keen knife make eight triangular incisions right in the centre of each egg down to the yolk, then with hands gently pull them apart. Remove the yolks, and mash them very fine, then well mix the latter with the preparation, and then with it stuff the eggs, giving them a dome shape. Lightly butter a silver dish, place a thin layer of the preparation over it. Firmly lay the six large mushrooms upside down over the layer, place half a teaspoon of the force in the centre of each mushroom, then gently lay the eggs perpendicular over each mushroom. Slice a small truffle into six thin slices, place one on top of each egg, sprinkle a little clarified butter over all, cover them with buttered paper, then place in a moderate oven for fifteen minutes.

Prepare six well designed round bread croûtons as for No. 133. Lay a very thin slice, the size of the croûton, of pâté de foie gras over each croûton, and then with a round paste cutter, two inches and a half in diameter, place it right in the centre of each egg taking special care to keep the yolks exactly in the centre, so as to cut away the white of each egg evenly from all around each yolk. Place one egg on top of each croûton, pour a gill of hot Périgueux sauce, (No. 191), around the eggs, but not over them, and send to the table.

=1408. Eggs à la Mme. Diaz.=--Have three large sound green peppers, plunge them into very hot fat for two minutes, take them out, and with a coarse dry towel remove the skin of each; then cut each pepper into half, lengthwise, remove the seeds, have a frying pan on the hot range, two tablespoonfuls of either sweet oil or clarified butter. Cut six very thin slices of raw ham, place them gently in the pan, add the peppers also, and then gently cook for fifteen minutes. Prepare six pieces of dry toast, dress them on a hot dish, then place a slice of ham over each toast, then half a pepper over the ham.

Fry six very fresh eggs separately in clarified butter as for No. 1406, and then gently place one on top of each pepper, and send to the table.

=1409. Eggs à la W. W. Ladd, Jr.=--Provide four fine, sound, white Kalamazoo celery. Cut away all the green leaves, and neatly trim it; thoroughly wash twice in cold water, so that no sand will adhere to the celery; cut the three celery, three inches long from the root part, crosswise. Place three pieces in a saucepan with one quart of white broth (No. 99). Season with half a tablespoonful of salt, four whole peppers, two cloves, and a sprig of thyme.

Slide a tube (No. 2) into the pastry bag (No. 1079), pour the celery purée into it, and carefully press it down two inches from the centre of the dish, commencing at the side of the dish, coming down two inches and a half to the right, continuing going all around giving an oval shape; make another oval border over the other. Crack six fresh eggs in the centre inside the border, then place the dish in the hot oven for five minutes. Take up the celery from the pan, place on a dish, then split each one in two from the cut part down to the root only. Remove the eggs from the oven; open each celery triangular shape, place it jointly around the border so as to make it represent a star. Strain the broth in which the celery was cooked into a hot bowl, add to it a teaspoonful of freshly chopped parsley, mix a little, and then pour about a gill of it around the celery, but not over the eggs, and serve very hot.

=1410. Eggs à la D. B. Hill.=--Carefully open (without losing any of their juice) into a bowl twelve medium sized fresh oysters; place them in a sautoire on the hot range, and let come to a boil, skim well, then strain the juice into a bowl, and keep the oysters in a separate bowl for further action.
