• Formal setting of a table
The first thing that you need is a table cloth and for formal occasions a plain, white damask one is ideal.
Place settings should be placed at an equal distance from each other, and crockery, cutlery and glasses should match. Naturally, you will need to have a sufficient quantity for as many courses as you are going to serve. If you do not have enough and you do not want to buy them, renting is an option.
Knives should be placed to the right of the plate with the one that is going to be used first on the outside with them moving inwards towards the plate in order. The blades of the knives should be pointing towards the plate.
Forks go to the left of the plate and are placed in the same way as the knives so that the outer one is the one that is used first.
A soup spoon should be placed to the right of the knives, and the dessert spoon should lie at the head of the plate.
Glasses are also set out in order of use, and are placed above the knives.
Napkins (fabric to match the table cloth, of course) should be placed in the plate position.
• Making a chicken spread sandwich
Making a chicken spread sandwich is the same as making any other sandwich. You choose the bread that you want and spread it with butter or a butter substitute, and then put your filling onto the bread, in this case, chicken spread.
You can also add other things if you want such as salad, or relishes.
