Thanks so much for this fantastic site and the very interesting posts!

Helpful was a book called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Last-Dinner-Titanic-Recipes-Legendary/dp/B00009ANY4/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1208711838&sr=8-1" rel="nofollow">LAST DINNER ON THE TITANIC</a>. We have a Certified Master Chef who guided us to preparing the meal as accurately as we could. It was an amazing, exhausting, delicious experience!
