riderchop posted:yeah definitely, i want the op descriptions as well I think this might be a reference to service a la francaise which was a Victorian style of dining that was eventually overtaken by service a la russe, which is pretty much the same as modern restaurant style dining today. quote:Guests served themselves and their neighbors; the men were generally supposed to help the ladies next to them...Service à la française sometimes required so much food to be set out that it was the custom of some hosts to have a second dinner party the following day, using what was left over for a slightly smaller number of less-important guests. William Makepeace Thackeray's character Major Pendennis (1850) is "indignant at being invited to a 'second-day dinner'".[13] (from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service_%C3%A0_la_fran%C3%A7aise)
