What They Ate On Titanic's Last Night-- Part 2: Try Some Apple Meringue


On the evening before roughly 1,500 people would lose their lives in one of the worst maritime disasters of the 20th century, the first-class passengers on the Titanic sat down for an elaborate meal on that April 14, 1912.

This included oysters, consomme Olga (a veal stock soup flavored with sturgeon marrow), filet mignon, poached salmon and chicken Lyonnaise.

Also, roast squab with cress, foie gras, roasted pigeon, lamb with mint sauce and punch romaine, a palate-cleansing granita flavored with oranges and drenched in Champagne.

In case you'd like to replicate one of the Titanic's first-class passenger goodies, there is a recipe for apple meringue which was served for lunch on April 14, 1912.  Way too much effort for me to even think about attempting it.
