  VICENZOVO  ITALIAN LADYFINGER SANDWICH, WITH CHOCOLATE/CASHEW BUTTER,  SERVED ON AN AUSTRIAN SILVER DESSERT PLATTER WITH AN ENGLISH URN OF INTENSE, BLACK SPANISH EXPRESSO....FOR DIPPING...( A MID-AFTERNOON STIMULUS).....EMILY POST SUGGESTED, A CENTUY AGO, THE WEARING OF WHITE COTTON GLOVES WHEN TOUCHING ANOTHER PERSON, BUT REMOVING THEM FOR THE DUNKING.......WHICH IS AN ETIQUETTE CHALLENGE.....AS IMPORTANT AS KNOWING 'JUST WHEN' TO REMOVE THE PATISSIRIE BEFORE IT IS 'JAVA-LOGGED', WITH THE POTENTIALITY OF STAINING ONE'S WHITE-GLOVES, UPON ONE'S LAP,  OR THE BELGIAN LACE TABLECLOTH...... the serving may be lifted, atop a carved wood support,  to bring the foodstuff closer to the lips of one's maw, thereby avoiding the risky, if short, itinerary from table to polite seclusion within the palate....

MY "SCHOOL LUNCHEON PLAN" .......a 'pretty much' complete, vegan, nutritional bowl...

Image
 costing less than a buck per serving.....less than the cost of a slice of pizza, kids!     made from chopped, flash-frozen vegetables, a fried pinto bean patty and a slice of tomato.....with lots of tasty, vibrant seasonings........  I calculated the cost of this luncheon bowl, as shown, at about 60 cents!    The addition of salty country ham trimmings....just for flavor and a bit of additional protein......brings the cost up to a buck!
