Excellent series. The only criticism that I have is that you would not normally see a coffee spoon in the formal place setting. A coffee or dematasse spoon would normally arrive on the saucer during the dessert period. Other then that , excellent video.

Does anyone actually eat like this besides royalty?

Very helpful. This gives me something to go by for my Thanksgiving dinner even though it will not be this formal. Thank you.
