THE SOUP PLATE.

A Seventeenth Century Cookbook
Tells Why II Was Invented.
A valet of Louis XIV. published a
cookbook in 1863 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 go from the mouth
to the tureen.
Guests, It will be seen, used their
own spoons to fill their plates. the
large spoon to be used for serving the
soup not being invented till some time
later.
Yet even hundred years after the
invention of the soup plate Q749) 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 If the soup was
served In a dish 0ureen) 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 1t was impolite to pass the spoon
back and forth between the mouth and
the tureen.
