while Master Peter Cratchit plunged a fork into the saucepan of potatoes, and getting the corners of his monstrous shirt collar (Bob’s private property, conferred upon his son and heir in honour of the day) into his mouth, rejoiced to find himself so gallantly attired, and yearned to show his linen in the fashionable Parks. And now two smaller Cratchits, boy and girl, came tearing in, screaming that outside the baker’s they had smelt the goose, and known it for their own; and basking in luxurious thoughts of sage and onion, these young Cratchits danced about the table, and exalted Master Peter Cratchit to the skies, while he (not proud, although his collars nearly choked him) blew the fire, until the slow potatoes bubbling up, knocked loudly at the saucepan-lid to be let out and peeled.
I am guessing that Peter bit his collar while he was eating potatoes because his new clothes was too big for him or isn't it?
"Although his collars nearly choked him"? Wasn't it too loose that he can bite his collar?
Wasn't he eating potatoes, now he is boiling the potatoes?
THANK YOU FOR YOU TIME

The collar like this one here: 1 The collar could be tight at the neck and still stick up.
