THE SOUP PLATE.
A Seventeenth Century Cookbook
Tells Why 1t Was Invented.

Tells Why 1t Was Invented.
\ valet of Louis XIV published Il
cookbook in 1869 in which he gives as
follows the reason for the invention of
the hollow soup plate
The plates OF the guests will be hol-
low in order that they may help them
selves TO as much soup as they may
want without being obliged TO take 1t
spoonful by spoonful because of the
disgust they may have for one another
on seeing the spoon 80 from the mouth
10 the turccn.
Guests, IT Will be seen, used their
own spoons TO fill their plates, the
large spoon to he used for serving the
soup not being invented till some time
later
Yet even hundred years after tho
invention of the soup plate l740 a
work ON civility advised that all the
dishes should be so placed on the table
that every one could reach them with
his spoon and that il the soup was
served in n dish tureeny every one
should help himself With his own
spoon without seeming to be in hurry.
A work on manners that appeared
just before the French revolution
deemed it best TO advise its readers
that it was impolite to pass the spoon
back and forth between the mouth and
the tureen.
