This was the eleven-course dinner served to first-class passengers of the RMS Titanic on April 14, 1912.

Were they supposed to pick one dish from each course or were they served all of the dishes? Maybe they were to pick as many or few as they wanted?

I think they brought the entire course to the table and people could get what they wanted.

The leftovers were thrown overboard instead of given to the 3rd class.

I visited the Titantic exhibit in the Halifax Maritime museum. All that floated up was retreived first off of Nova Scotia. You can view in the museum, google maps takes you inside.

Anyway, this is some redesigned menu, the original didn't actually state the courses or wine pairings like that. There are some surviving copies of all the menus except the highest priced a la carte menus in the "Ritz" style restaurant which is where all the top passengers would have preferred to eat. The waiters just kept bringing food and filling glasses. I actually did my foodie comparison of courses by class as I viewed them all side by side and some of the other first class menus had some more of the gelatinized fish preserves stuff that made me prefer the second and third choices that day. The price difference by fare was extremely dissimilar. The passengers were certainly treated by how they paid. First class passenger prices were equivalent to the price of a car today, 45-60k per ticket, plus they also bought tickets and rooms for their servants to stay in.

Thanks for posting this, so I wouldn't have to. My Great Great Grandmother was on Titanic, 3rd class. She survived, was heading to join her adult sons in America. She was thrown aboard one of the last lifeboats The man who threw her aboard was drunk and one of her countrymen. She guesses that since he could not survive, he wanted to make certain someone from his county would. Afterwords, she felt a strong sense of 'Survivors Guilt' since she was past child bearing age,and so many younger ladies, who had lives and potential families..... I'm sure you can guess the rest.

Let this be their song, and may we pay respect to those who died that night..

As a /ck/ aside at the end of the movie, as the ship was sinking, Jack and Rose shared the stern with a man clad in white. It was Titanic's baker, Charles Joughin.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Joughin

So, he did his job for the passengers before the disaster, he did his job for them after the disaster, got drunk while doing so, and survived. Historically saying, is he /ourguy/?

At each course, servers would have bought everything around on silver platters (silver service) and you would choose. OR it would be in the middle of the huge tables, family style.

I was reading the historical accounts aboard the different lifeboats. Most of the wealthy people on the Titanic come across as garbage human beings.

You need to remember that for this people, food was (and still is) not about sutenances like for the rest of us, they are well above that, it's about the experience, that kind of dinner took fucking hours, and the portions were tiny so the´d eat alot of different stuff and experience all those tastes and textures without filling (and is very hard to look refined while eting a nice big stake), it also gave them time to do the most important thing in that circle, in this kinds of meals: talking, socializing, etc.
