Table Service

Famous quotes containing the words table and/or service:

“The table kills more people than war does.”
—Catalan proverb, quoted in Colman Andrews, Catalan Cuisine.

“In the early forties and fifties almost everybody “had about enough to live on,” and young ladies dressed well on a hundred dollars a year. The daughters of the richest man in Boston were dressed with scrupulous plainness, and the wife and mother owned one brocade, which did service for several years. Display was considered vulgar. Now, alas! only Queen Victoria dares to go shabby.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
