Pressed duck (French: "Canard à la presse, Caneton à la presse, Canard à la rouennaise, Caneton à la rouennaise "or" Canard au sang" ) is a traditional French dish.
 The complex dish is a specialty of Rouen and its creation attributed to an innkeeper from the city of Duclair.
 Since the 19th century, it has also been a specialty of the Tour d'Argent restaurant in Paris where it is formally known as the "Caneton Tour d'Argent" (Tour d'Argent duckling).
 It consists of various parts of a duck served in a sauce of its blood and bone marrow, which is extracted by way of a press.
 It has been considered "the height of elegance."
The Dictionnaire des Antiquités Grecques et Romaines d'après les textes et les monuments, contenant l'explication des termes qui se rapportent aux mœurs, aux institutions, à la religion, aux arts, aux sciences, au costume, au mobilier, à la guerre, à la marine, aux métiers, aux monnaies, poids et mesures, etc. etc., et en général à la vie publique et privée des anciens was a large illustrated French-language dictionary of Ancient Greece and Rome edited by Charles Victor Daremberg and Edmond Saglio and published in 10 volumes between 1873 and 1919 by the publisher Hachette Livre in Paris.
 Individual entries consisted of (sometimes book-length) articles by prominent classical scholars, François Lenormant among them.
 It aimed to compete directly with the "Altertumswissenschaft" of German universities, who were the uncontested masters in the field from 1810 onward.
 In an 1887 review of the first volume of the "Dictionnaire" for "The Classical Review", John E. B. Mayor praised the result, saying "No other nation as yet possesses anything approaching to it in beauty and completeness; it is absolutely necessary to every classical library and to every public library frequented by scholars or artists."

Service à la française (French, "service in the French style") is the practice of serving various dishes of a meal at the same time.

 Formal dinners were served "à la française" from the Middle Ages to the 19th century.
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky ( ; Russian: Пётр Ильи́ч Чайко́вский ; 25 April/7 May 1840 – 25 October/6 November 1893), often anglicized as Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky, was a Russian composer of the romantic period, some of whose works are among the most popular music in the classical repertoire.
 He was the first Russian composer whose music made a lasting impression internationally, bolstered by his appearances as a guest conductor in Europe and the United States.
 Tchaikovsky was honored in 1884, by Emperor Alexander III, and awarded a lifetime pension.

Service à la russe (French, "service in the Russian style") is a manner of dining that involves courses being brought to the table sequentially.
 It contrasts with "service à la française" ("service in the French style") in which all the food is brought out at once, in an impressive display.
A finger bowl is a bowl of water used for rinsing one's fingers after the last course of a formal meal served à la russe.
 It is typically brought to the table at the time of the dessert course, arriving atop the dessert plate, with a linen doily between the plate and the bowl and with the dessert fork and spoon on the plate.
 If a separate fruit course is to follow dessert, the finger bowl should be brought in at that time, with the fruit fork and knife.
 Alternatively, a full array of dishes can be brought out at once, with the finger bowl atop the dessert plate with its fork and spoon, and the dessert plate atop the fruit plate, with doilies between each dish; in this type of service, the fruit fork and knife are brought out after the dessert plates and silver are cleared.
 "Where there are plenty of servants, the finger bowl may not come in on the fruit plate but may be brought on its own serving plate, replacing the used fruit plate before the guests leave the table for coffee."
 A glass ornament, flower, flower petals, lemon slice, sprig of mint or other decoration is often floated in it.
