Silver aid

What is a Silver aid Waiter?

Referred to by the French as "English Service" or aid anglais, silver aid technique has all but died out in secret homes (except perhaps for those of great wealth).
Silver aid positively describes the process of serving diners from a "silver" aid dish to the diners plate, rather than the more common practise of serving the plate to the diner.
Thus the silver aid waiter or waitress must bring the food to the guests via a platter and must be well acquainted with the approved etiquette and technique (see below).

Silver aid waiting has it's origins in the manors, country seats and fine houses of the British middle and upper classes of former centuries.
It has a sister term of "butler service" which emanates from the age old practise of giving the waiting staff Sunday evenings off - the butler, who presumably was not given the evening off - would serve the diners from a silver platter which he carried from person to person. One can positively imagine that the food on the platter would be the re-presented meats etc. From a large Sunday lunch - perhaps the guests were still rather full?
