Second Class on the Titanic was more akin to First Class on any other liner. This is the menu for the Second Class passengers: RMS Titanic Second Class Dinner Menu April 14, 1912 Consomme with Tapioca Baked Haddock, Sharp Sauce Curried Chicken & Rice Spring Lamb, Mint Sauce Roast Turkey, Cranberry Sauce Green Peas Puree Turnips Boiled Rice Boiled & Roast Potatoes Plum Pudding Wine Jelly Cocoanut Sandwich American Ice Cream Nuts Assorted Fresh Fruit Cheese, Biscuits Coffee The Third Class Dinner Menu apparently no longer exists, but is thought to have been High Tea, consisting of Ragout of beef, potatoes and pickles (in other words, Irish Stew), (stewed) apricots, fresh bread and butter and currant buns as well as the obligatory tea. -- Wayne in Phoenix If there's a nit to pick, some nitwit will pick it. |

Hey, I'll take this Second Class menu any day! Thanks for sharing this. It's scary for me to think my grandparents made almost this same crossing just a few years later than Titanic. They were, of course, in the Third Class and coming over over from Scotland. They might have thrown in some scones to go with the tea  Jill |

The White Star Line was the first to provide food to Third Class passengers. That Second Class menu does sound pretty good. I could survive on that!

Thanks. > > nancy > Your're welcome! British cookbooks abound with recipes for various "sanwiches", one of the most popular being the "Victoria Sandwich" which is a plain butter-creamed yellow cake (more dense than ours, but not as dense as pound cake) layered with red jam and dusted with powdered sugar. Other types are filled and frosted as we know them in the US. In general, British cakes are often richer than ours and are often decorated to the hilt, frequently containing bits of fruit or peel or nuts. Their bakeries would put most here in the US to shame, what with our fluffy and sometimes gritty frosting made with Crisco and the like. -- Wayne in Phoenix If there's a nit to pick, some nitwit will pick it. |

I assume it was one of those types of things where you have to sit there through all the courses. Just another thing I didn't like about cruising. I would hate being stuck there like an endless wedding reception, trying to entertain people you don't even know. Ten courses, save me! (laugh) Food does look great. Hard to believe many people could eat all but a bit of each course. I suppose a lot of it wound up being jettisoned. nancy |

We took a cruise for our honeymoon five years ago. At first, we tried to participate in all the "fun", trying to get the most out of the experience. That got old. The best day on our cruise was the day I decided to opt out of all the activities and sit by the pool, look out at the water, read, and drink mimosas all day. We took a cruise because I had worn myself out making every piddly little decision for our wedding. I didn't want to make a single more decision. I wanted to get married, get on a big boat, and get taken care of. Tara |

Same with the casinos in Atlantic City, I'm sure elsewhere as well. Here, I think the question is, is Reg talking about restaurant food prepared in an approved kitchen, or food from his house. I can see why regulations would not allow food from someone's kitchen. It is a waste. If it's restaurant food and the city won't allow a Second Harvest collection, shame on them. nancy |

Here there is a chain of all you can eat buffets that donates every day food left in the steam trays, salad bars etc to a soup kitchen /homeless shelter. The stuff they bring is still quite fresh, just 'unwanted ' and I know one of the guys inolved, they are doing a really good service. John |
