A Closer Look: First Class Dining on the Titanic | Cultured Elegance

[@LJB103]

It sounds very over the top to us today, but we need to remember that this was how the wealthy dined (socially) in 1912. The closest thing that I can personally compare to the food on Titanic was dining on the SS France when I sailed on her to England back in 1974. That was amazing, but the menus in this video are even more extraordinary. Excellent video.

[@CulturedElegance]

Thank you so much! And what a great memory to have

[@druviseglite]

Those 10 or 13 courses were mostly fist sizes portions like today's modern restaurants. So one could be able to eat them all since they also included light foods like peach melba.

[@LJB103]

@@druviseglite True, and you notice that they are not accompanied by heaps of mashed potatoes, stuffing, or a pile of vegetables. However, there WAS a lot of alcohol involved in the meal with each course: whites; reds; sweet dessert and/or champagne; plus for the men either port (with cigars) or brandy (cigarettes) after the meal. You were not limited to one glass of each either. You may not have been stuffed, but you could sure get sloshed!

[@jenniferhiemstra5228]

Honestly, this isn't over the top at all. If you look at today's wealthy elite, it's pretty much the same. Over the top, extravagant to the nth degree, all for pretty much no reason at all except to flaunt ones wealth. Doesn't sound over the top when this still exists in this Gilded Age 2.0 we're living in.

I’m obsessed with your Titanic videos! If it had not sunk I would have loved to be a first class passenger on this ship. 😊

[@CulturedElegance]

Thank you so very much!!! I really appreciate you!💓 me too!😁🙏

Not going to lie, I love your voice/ dynamics and fall asleep to your videos. It's so soothing. Perfection!

Sure did haha!!!🤗

[@beckyriege5572]

This was such an enjoyable video! Having worked in hospitality for most of my adult life, it was so interesting to see all the care and elegance that was put into planning, preparing and serving these meals for the passengers on the Titanic, as well as all the details and information about the rooms, architecture and settings. I like all your videos, but especially love the ones about Titanic, and Gone With The Wind. I am so glad to have discovered your channel. Great videos!

[@GeorgeMoore55]

Hi Becky 🌹 How're u doing?

[@ColleenD78]

And those menu's!!! My mouth is watering 🤣🤣🥰🥰

[@pho3nix-]

I would not be surprised if there were a lot of leftovers, unless the meals themselves were smaller versions of what you would normally have.

[@ColleenD78]

Thrilled to have found your beautiful channel! Its made up of everything historical that fascinates me. I just added about 20+ videos to my watch list 😂 Thank you for all your work and beautiful narration! Bravo 🥰🤗👍

*Titanic sails to The US* Titanic: " I can't wait to go to America and experience it with my passengers." *A random iceberg floats near Titanic making the boat nervous* Titanic: " Hey, I come in peace and I have thousands of passengers aboard and we're heading to America. I'm just going to sail around you, if it's okay. You're not going to harm us all are you?" Iceberg: " Sure, it's safe. I'll make room for you to sail through." *Iceberg cuts Titanic's side while it sails through, causing to sink along with the passengers inside it* Titanic(in pain) : " WHY!? I WASN'T A THREAT!" Iceberg: " I know, it was fate. You all weren't meant to reach your destination. Silence, now."

I would've LOVED tea time! 🫖 I'm a vegetarian so that's an easy choice. So fancy! ✨ love this video! 😊

@@CulturedElegance Faith, have you read the book Ritz & Escoffier ? Fascinating account of Richard D’Oyly Carte (of Gilbert and Sullivan fame) assembling the dream team of Cesar Ritz and Auguste Escoffier to launch the Savoy Hotel in London. The story might inspire a great youtube video.

Wonderful presentation, thank you! I could never eat that much but all the meals must have been superb ❤

[@Nunofurdambiznez]

Yes you could.. you'd just take your time and not have huge American portions of everything.. a dab of this, a dab of that.. that's the cultured European way.

[@Nunofurdambiznez]

yeah,, of COURSE you did....

[@LordHayden86]

Yup, it was a lot of work and I was only able to do hor'dourves, soup, one of the entrees, and the cheese course, but it was a lot of fun! Thanks for your interest!

Hi gulden🌹 How're u doing?

[@almutphilipp4057]

I'ts really a faszinating world, very modern in a way, but in another way so opulent, that I can' t believe it. It' s like beeing in a dream, a dream, that changed to hard reality. I can' t say, which meal I prefere, everything looks wonderfull, but I' am confused about the pomp and that doesn' t feel reaally good, although i admire the technical standard of the rooms and bathrooms and their beauty.

[@catherinelee3298]

Nice video. What a loss of life and beauty. 😢

[@CulturedElegance]

[@Leahschoice1]

While I respect the care placed regarding posting this interesting video & the care that people placed in the amenities. However, I can’t help but wonder if the same amount of care had been placed in staying afloat as the rest of the amenities.. would they have sunk?

[@EmilyGloeggler7984]

The food for those traveling first class on the Titanic sounds delicious. I’d love to try them if any of the recipes survived and could be made with organic non-GMO items. :) I would have loved my own Private First Class B suite! They look even better than the motels we stayed at after we lost our home.

How did passengers on the Olympic and Titanic order food? So in 1912 how did (upper-class) passengers order food for dinner and breakfast on the titanic did they preorder them or did a waiter come round with a pen and pad, and did this change with the olympic during the 1920’s after the war?
