southerncooker from Boomer, NC
This was a very interesting read with some photos of recovered items from the
actual Titanic as well as photos, paintings and drawings of some of the
famous passengers from the ship. There is a picture of the actual menu from
the first classs dining saloon and according to the book it would have
probably included eleven courses. Included in this were things like Oysters a
la Russe, Cream of Barley Soup, Poached Salmon with Mousseline Sauce, Filets
Mignons Lili, Lamb with Mint Sauce, Poasted Squab on wilted cress, many
veggies, Waldorf Pudding, Chocolate Painted Eclairs, and of course wine or
spirits with every course.
A third class meal included vegetable soup, Roasted Pork with Sage and Pearl
Onions, Green peas, Boiled Potatoes, Plum Pudding wiht Sweet Sauce, Cabin
Biscuits and oranges.
Included in the book is information on how to host your own recreation of the
Last dinner on the Titanic and how to brief your guests to portray different
people who were onboard.
There are 50 recipes included in this book which are said to be researched and
carefully tested for modern kitchens.
