Beetroot? Ox Tongue? Cockie Leekie? Think I will stay in steerage.

Tasting History with Max Miller did a few episodes about food on the Titanic a coupe years ago https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIkaZtzr9JDlFDMpTL3Xyjbuj9I2yvZeI

Why does the 1st class menu look like it's designed for the Red Army

Both sound quite good. Titanic was known for the excellent food and accomidations in 3rd class. Well until it sank.

The 3rd class lifeboat accommodations were pretty lousy, though.

The food and accommodations were excellent after it sank, but only for 3rd Class fish

Hate when I get Cockie Leekie.

Weird that Titanic is written in quotation marks in the upper right of #1.

"Lexicographer Grant Barrett calls this use of quotes shout quotes. He gives the example of a White Castle (fast food) slogan in use since the 1950s: 'Buy ’em by the “sack.” ' Here, the quotations around sack are not quoting anything. Nor are they scare quotes intended to cast doubt on the reliability of the sack. They emphasize. Barrett makes the point that, in the context of a brief sign or slogan printed on a box, it would be "uncharitable" to misread the shout quote as dubious."

Thanks for the knowledge.

That's an old-fashioned stylization I believe
