Last Dinner On the Titanic by Rick Archbold

The First-Class Dining Saloon had a menu w/ ELEVEN Courses. That is just one of the menus w/ recipes from one of the dining rooms. Ninth Course- Les desserts: assorted fresh fruits and cheeses w/ Sweet dessert wines, Champagne, or Sparkling wineĪfter Dinner: Coffee, cigars, Port or Cocktails Seventh Course- Legume: Asperges printanieres, sauce hollandaise (no wine?)Įighth Course- Entrements: Macedoine de fruits Oranges en surprise w/ Sweet dessert wines (Muscatel, Tokay, Madeira) Sixth Course- Roti: Cailles aux cerises (Qualis w/ cherries) w/ Red Burgundy Third Course- Poisson: Homard Thermidor (Lobster) w/ Dry Rhine or Moselleįourth Course- Entree: Tournedos aux morilles w/ Red Bordeauxįifth Course- Punch or Sorbet: Punch Rose Second Course- Potage: Potage Saint Germain (Spring Pea Soup) w/ Madeira or Sherry Dinner: Dinner announcement w/ a gong courses on silver salvers a nine course dinner and coffee, cigars, port or cordials.įirst Course- Hors d'oeuvre: Oeufs de caille en aspic et caviar (Quail Eggs) w/ White Bordeaux or White Burgundy Before dinner: Formal introductions cocktails or lighter drinks (champagne) and hors d'oeuvres. The First-Class Titanic Dinner was a 'choreographed' affair with: Hand-written 'formal' invitations (with advice on what to wear) a biography of the character your are asked to 'portray' flowers for the ladies boutonniere for the men and court music. That sure is a whole lot of food for a 2nd class passage! The 'Cold' menu: Roast Mutton Roast Beef Sausage Ox Tongue Pickles Salad Tapioca Pudding apple tart Fresh Fruit Cheese Biscuits and Coffee.

Their Ap'Hot' Luncheon menu consisted of: Pea Soup Spaghetti au Gratin Corned Beef Vegetable Dumplings Roast Mutton and Baked Jacket Potatoes. I was surprised that even the Second Class passengers had a generous dining menu, that was basically unheard of at the time. This book contains history, photos, menus, and recipes of the ship, its crew, and passengers. not so much its sinking, rather the elegance and beauty of the ship and romance of the Edwardian era. Oddly I am entranced with the subject of the Titanic.
