Cheese, Mode of Serving

The usual mode of serving cheese at good tables is to cut a small quantity of it into neat square pieces, and to put them into a glass cheese-dish, this dish being handed round. Should the cheese crumble much, of course this method is rather wasteful, CHEESE STRAWS. and it may then be put on the table in the piece, and the host may cut from it. When served thus, the cheese must always be carefully scraped, and laid on a white d'oyley or napkin, neatly folded. A Stilton cheese should have a serviette pinned round it, and be cut with a silver scoop. Cream cheese is often served in a cheese course, and, CHEESE-GLASS. sometimes, grated Parmesan: the latter should be put into a covered glass dish.

Rusks, cheese-biscuits, pats or slices of butter, and salad, cucumber, or watercresses, should always form part of a cheese course.
