Hundreds of restaurant front-of-house wannabes will be competing in this section of the upcoming ScotHot culinary championships in Glasgow. Amid frantic preparations of cheffy creations in seafood, duck, marzipan and something called pastiillage, a feisty little band of napkin lovers will be folding, bending and forcing squares of beautiful starched linen into the kind of shapes one can only dream of. Or, for those who lived through the 1970s, the kind of shapes that were de rigueur in every restaurant in town. Think swans, roses, the Sydney Opera House ... that sort of thing.
