Taking Off the Wing

1 C ARVING a bird is like everything else you want to do if you want to do it at all-you ought to want to do it well, and faithful experimenting will make perfect. To carve well it is most important that no grease gets on the handles of the knife and fork.

The fingers should never stray beyond the hilt. You hold the implements as you would a soft-bitted horse - tenderly and firmly. Hold them lightly but strongly, and let most of the movements be with the wrists. A responsive knife and fork are a necessity and a blessing to every household.
