Examples of use of Napery
1. My know–nothing attitude to napery means, sadly, that I shall never become a Michelin–starred chef.
2. Indeed the whole world of table linen or napery as I believe its called leaves me dazed and confused.
3. Between the well–ordered plane trees, beneath the white curtain of crisp linen napery, something has gone wrong.
4. Sheekys, or even Rose Gray and Ruth Rogers at the River Café, concentrates on the quality of the ingredients rather than the quantity of napery.
5. Because chefs believe the Michelin process demands attention to superfluous detail, and because the Michelin mystique is associated with grand imperial French dining, eating out at any establishment that aspires to Michelin glory involves shelling out for all this napery flummery as well as paying for the expensive ingredients (foie gras, fish eggs, the fiddlier sort of game) that are supposed to signal luxury.
