The remains of cold joints, nicely garnished, a few sweets, or a little
hashed meat, poultry or game, are the usual articles placed on the
table for luncheon, with bread, and cheese, biscuits, butter, &c. If a
substantial meal is desired, rump-steaks or mutton chops may be served,
as also veal cutlets, kidneys, or any dish of that kind. In families
where there is a nursery, the mistress of the house often partakes of
the meal with the children, and makes it her luncheon. In the summer, a
few dishes of fresh fruit should be added to the luncheon, or, instead
of this, a compôte of fruit or fruit tart, or pudding.
MACARONI, as usually served with the CHEESE COURSE.
