Rfv-sense: A circular piece of wood put under a dish at table. - only in dictionaries? Notusbutthem (talk) 20:50, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
- Dictionaries do not agree on this one. Many of them use circlet to mean a round trencher-like thing to go under dishes to protect the table cloth, but they do not agree on what it is made of. The only use I could find was the following:
- 2004, Mary Ellen Snodgrass, Encyclopedia of Kitchen History, page 717:
- For adorning turkey or lamb legs or the bone protruding from a cutlet or pork chop or a cutlet-shaped croquette, they attached a cut-paper manchette (frill) in a circlet before presentation of the dish at table.
- and even there, I am not entirely sure it has this precise meaning. Kiwima (talk) 03:52, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
