food

Many years ago, I was an assistant manager at a bookstore and, when we would take a deposit to the bank, we had to bring a second employee with us. It was May 3rd and the employee I was bringing with me asked me what I was going to do for Cinco de Mayo. I said I was not going to party on what...

I know Joughin came on deck and put bread in some of the lifeboats. Would he have brought butter etc.too? Was the head chef also supposed to stock the boats with say cold meats, Cheese, things like that? I never heard of anyone but Joughin fooding the boats. Were the kitchen workers on boat crew...

The galleys of the RMS Titanic. The galleys of the Titanic is a very particular subject of the interior of the ship of dreams. This discussion goes through the galleys (kitchens), pantries, storage rooms, shops, bars, and many more. This discussion also touches the subject of the food stored...

Hi Guys, I should like to get something clear and I will need your help. First of all, my first language is not English but French. And the dictionary tells that a "Pantry man" is the person who is responsible of the wine -- and of course a "Pantry" is a place where the wine is kept. But I...

Looking at the deckplans I noticed that there is a pantry aft of the 1st Class Lounge of A Deck. I was wondering if it's known what food could be ordered by passengers in the Lounge.

What were the popular foods way back in the Gilded Age? Obviously a lot of things have changed since then. Were there any specifically popular dishes?

Hi!! I found online a menu of the Titanic, which is a meal that I did not identify. The format of the picture is small and I do not see very well, but says "Zingars" or something. Could anyone tell me what it is? thank you very much

In "triumph and Tragedy" by Eaton and Haas, there is a 3rd class bill of fare reproduced. What intriged me was the legend, printed on the bottom; "Kosher meat available for Jewish passengers" I was sceptical of this. After all, where was the evidence for this claim? In any event, the kitchens...

Hi everyone I got some information on the stewardesses' accommodation, but as for their food I haven't found any information so far. Does someone know if they had their own meals somewhere on the boat or ate only the left overs in their cabins? Thanks for any help on that matter

From the San Diego Union-Tribune: For the rest of the story, go to http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/military/20070108-9999-1m8menu.html Comment: Overall, not a bad idea. The prepackaged goods make logistics easier and would go a long way towards cutting down on spoilage. The deep fat fryer...

I am looking at a photo of the dinner menu for May 31st, 1911, celebrating the launch of Titanic. It is in French, and there are several items I cannot translate. Does anyone happen to know what "pommes fridal" means? I know the "pommes" part means apple, but I'm stuck on the "fridal." Thanks.

Hello, Has anyone ever made a study or a list of the various Titanic menus that have survived? I don't think we have a complete record of all the meals from the voyage, however I know that an April 2, 1912 menu survived, and from the actual voyage there were menus from April 11 (breakfast)...

Can anyone answer this question? I really wonder where the band, listed as 2nd class passengers, had their meals on the Titanic. I am sure that someone knows the answer

A sample menu lists, among other things, a large number of entrees. Question #1: Did everyone eat everything (2 kinds of soup, fish, lamb, beef, squab, et al) at same meal, or did you make a choice--1 of the soups, fish, one meat/poultry entree, etc.? Q #2: Anyone know what Vegetable...

I have read very little on the ongoing problem of passengers falling ill to the food on cruise lines. Would any of our esteemed captains here have some insight on this problem? Is it unique to one line or are others experiancing problems also? Any insight would be most welcome! Thank you, Don

Hi, Was the food the first class passengers dined on really delicious,or doe's the fancy title's just give the impression that it was good.Thanks. Daisy

My sister's kids are studying the Titanic and she wants to fix them the 'final' dinner. Does anyone have that info, or can you direct me to where I could find it. I have been searching so far and have found nothing. Thanks
