New Twists On A Titanic Style Meal
Thanks to Lisa Mogensen at Forbes…
(Left: China from the RMS Titanic) The RMS Titanic. The name evokes a bygone era of luxury, leisure, and class distinction. The beginning of luxury travel as we know it. The largest liner ever built, the Titanic also had the most advanced culinary facilities afloat with three galleys, and a staff of eighty preparing and serving 6,000 meals a day. All that ended on April 14th 1912. That day marked the last meal in the Titanic’s first class dining salon which was served to the pinnacles of high society such as John Jacob Astor, Benjamin Guggenheim, Isidor and Ida Straus and of course, the Unsinkable Molly Brown to name a few.
(Left: RMS Titanic Leaving Belfast) As the world looks back on the 100 years since the tragic sinking of the RMS Titanic TravelsinTaste thought it would be interesting to recreate the majority of the 11 course tasting experience, one of only two menus which survived the night, with a modern twist for today’s tastebuds. The dishes won’t be on the original cobalt blue and gold china by Spode, but, if you want, you can have Spode recreate pattern R4331, for a hefty price tag.
