'Chafing Dish Food
For Tasty Supper
By Sister Mary

A chatting dish supper is a delight
fully informal way to entertain a
small group of friends.
More than six or eight persons
should not be served from one dish.
If a larger party is wanted use two
dishes, one at each end of the table.
Everything should be prepared to
cook and all ingredients assembled
for the greatest convenience of the
cook. When the various dishes con-
tanning the raw materials are emp
tied they should be removed from
the table.
The menu should be light and sec
ondary to the chatting dish concoc-
tion. A salad may or may not be
served, as the hostess sees fit. Sand
witches that are acceptable with the
dish prepared are often used in place
of reheated rolls. The dessert might
be some Christmas fruit cake and a
simple Spanish or Bavarian cream.
