A historical piece notes carving etiquette from medieval times to George I, where women hosted, carved meals, and taught guests. It references forks, Mary Wortley Montague lessons, and the social scope of home talents, plus contemporary women like Kate Sessions and the Portid Club. It ends with a quip on medicinal roots and a bottle of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.
