Edwardian Cuisine
Does anyone know of, or have menus regarding what people ate in that era? I'm very curious to know, and if you have recipes - please post them!
Thank you!

Re: Edwardian Cuisine
A fine question. The Titanc's time was the Edwaridan Era, I will list dishes from the Titanic's dining menu which were popular among passengers and people of that time.
Lunoheon
Conbommé Fermier
****ie Leekie
Fillets of Grill
Egg a l'Argenteuil
Chicken A La Maryland
Corned Beef, Vegetables, Dumplings
From the Grill
Grilled Mutton Chops
Mashed, Fried and Baked Jacket Potatoes
Pastry- Custard Pudding, Apple Merinque, Pastry (Such as Eclairs and Icecream)
Buffet
Salmon Mayonnaise
Potted Shrimp
Norweigen Anchovies
Plain and smoked sardines
Roast Beef
Round or Spiced Beef
Virgina and Cumberland Ham
Galantine of Chicken
Corned Ox Tounge (Eww..)
Viel and Ham Pie
Lettuce, Beetroot, tomatoes
Cheeses
Chebhire Stilton
Chedder
Edam
Camembert
St. Ivel
Roquefort
This is the Main Saloon Basics. Keep in mind you would receive many courses. The A La Carte was much more ornate providing:
First Course
Hors D' Oeuvers
Oysters
Second Course
Consommé Olga Ceam of Barley
Third Course
Poached Salmon With Mousseline Sauce, Cucumbers
Fourth Course
Fillet Mignons Lili
Saute of Chicken, Lyonnaise
Vegitable Marrow Farci
Fith Course
Lamb with Mint sauce
Roast Ducking Apple Sauce
Sirloin of Beef Chateau Potatoes
Green Pea, Creamed Carrots, Boiled Rice
Parmentier and Boiled Potatoes
You get the Idea, there are a few more courses, however they deal with deserts and cheeses, as well as the popular wine with bread. I'm no cook but there are some ideas.

Re: Edwardian Cuisine
Hmmm. My-o'-my, what does a dyed-in-the-wool vegetarian (who neither eats meat, fish, nor fowl) eat on those menus? :brow:

some of these may not be edible for you if you dont eat eggs, gelatine or dairy products..
Vegetable Marrow Farcie, Chateau Potatoes, Minted Green Pea Timbales ,Creamed Carrots, Boiled Rice, Parmentier and boiled new Potatoes, Punch Romaine, Cold Asparagus salad with champagne-saffron vinaigrette, Celery,
Waldorf pudding, Peaches in Chartreuse Jelly
Chocolate Painted Eclairs with French vanilla cream

Jews (such as the Strauses, Ida & Isador) we know, are kosher, and Seventh-Day Adventists are well-known for being vegetarians...I should know, because the latter is what my religious demonination once was. I'm now a Southern Baptist (as is Will, for he too, attends church with me...he has such an sweet way of letting me know his invisible spiritual presence is there with me every Sunday).
Now that you've listed here the foods I "can" eat, Bess...I can see that I wouldn't starve after all. 
Thank you for listing them. :heyy:

That is an interesting thought. of course as Jews, The strausses could eat some meats, but on Titanic it is highly unlikey that the meat was slaughtered or prepared correctly according to Jewsish law. So i guess they too were limited tot he vegatarian options.
..well, i hope that made some sense ha ha.
:insane?:

Yes, you did. For it makes perfectly good sense to me too. I guess, that the Strauses were the "only" First Class passengers, whom were completely vegetarian eaters aboard Titanic. I am quite sure that they carefully went over the menus, before deciding which was kosher enough for them to eat, when placing their order(s).:heyy: :P
I would, as a fellow vegetarian, without a shadow of a doubt hang out with them.

Re: Edwardian Cuisine
I think that food sounds like it would be good. I love chateau potatoes, and Lamb with Mint sauce sounds interesting. I could never survive as a vegetarian. However, I do remember Cal in the 1997 Cameron Titanic movie, ordering the Lamb with "very little mint sauce" in the Verandah Café.
