Frozen Champagne.

If there is anything that I particularly like it is frozen champagne. It is so nice to have your butler going round the table and slapping his hand on the bottom of the bottle in order to get the congealed liquid to flow through the narrow The noise is an agreeable diversion, and the act attracts the attention of the company, and saves them the necessity of listening to some bore who may be telling a long story. Besides, there is always a fine chance of the bottle—not wine, it is no longer wine—under the influence of some more than usually strong thump, coming out with a gush and spattering the tablecloth or the ladies’ dresses. Such a timely accident always causes a laugh, and therefore interrupts the monotony that otherwise would be tiresome. Then—and this is the chief advantage —iTTOoTtltlch - more - convenient to eat your wine than to drink it. I would suggest that >you serve it -as a sorbet with spoons.— From Dr. Hammond’s “Mr. OldmixOn.”
