What They Ate on the Titanic's Last Night-- Part 3

In order to write her book, Veronica Hinke gathered every bit of information she could about the food and drinks.  Perhaps they tucked away menus or written letters to home.

One was a splendid letter that passenger Adolphe Saalfeld wrote home to his wife Gertrude, telling in incredible detail, of the fabulous lunch that he ate on his first day aboard the Titanic.   He had boarded in Southampton and his letter was mailed before the Titanic left Europe before the trip across the Atlantic.

HNGN site says a menu was recovered from the wreck.  It showed the last meal  had eggs Argenteuil,  consomme fermier,  and chicken a la Maryland on the first class deck.  It sold at auction for $83,000.  This was the luncheon menu.
