The Last Dinner on the Titanic
There were only two menus recovered from the Titanic for the night of the 14th. One of these - the first-class menu - is reproduced below. While the manner in which the courses were prepared is not actually known in detail, a recent book by Rick Archibald gives an excellent account of the probable preparation based on similar practice on other White Star Line vessels, [Archibald, Rick (1997) The Last Dinner on the Titanic. Madison Press Books, Toronto. 144 pages].

Titanic sank during the last years of the Edwardian era before World War I where the privileged ate and drank with an abandon guaranteed to increase girth and shorten lifespan. Food was rich and fatty, and courses were accompanied with wine and liquor in sufficient variety and quantity to yield magnificent hangovers. As you go over the following menu, take it slowly and try to imagine the impact of each successive course as if consumed in the robust fashion of the day.

Titanic's last supper served in Hong Kong hotel
This weekend nostalgic diners with a big budget will be able to mark the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic by sampling the luxury liner's last menu -- as well as actual wine salvaged from the wreck.

The opulent ten-course dinner at the luxury Hullett House hotel in Hong Kong is based on the menu served in the Titanic's first-class dining saloon on April 14, 1912, the night before it went down in the North Atlantic.

The hotel will feature table settings and waiter uniforms from the period, with the meal served on fine bone china produced by the same manufacturer who supplied the ship, according to the South China Morning Post.

Titanic’s final first-class dinner (meticulously recreated by a food blogger)
Food blogger Paula Costa (of Dragon’s Kitchen) has taken the event to her food-loving heart, challenging herself to recreate the 11-course first-class dinner from the eve of the vessel’s demise. The project, based on the recipes found in Last Dinner on the Titanic by Rick Archbold and Dana McCauley, was a year in making, with weeks devoted to testing recipes and sourcing ingredients used during the Edwardian period. In the end, eight guests were invited to partake in the dinner, which involved $400 worth of ingredients, three days of preparation and assistance from a few sous-chefs on the evening of service itself.
