<p>As an aside and an update to <a href="http://cookingmonster.com/2008/04/09/the-last-meal-on-the-hms-titanic/">the last entry about the Titanic</a>, some people who saw it were wondering what the other people on the ship were eating.  <a href="http://www.nmm.ac.uk/server/show/conMediaFile.9720">The 2nd Class Dinner Menu</a> for April 14, 1912 lists :<br />
<a href="http://cookingmonster.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/titanic2.jpg"><img class="alignleft" style="float: left; border: 0; margin: 10px;" src="http://cookingmonster.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/titanic2-1.jpg" alt="" width="110" height="253" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Consummé<br />
Tapioca<br />
Baked Haddock<br />
<a href="http://nielsenhayden.com/makinglight/archives/005029.html">Sharp Sauce<br />
</a>Curried Chicken &amp; Rice<br />
Spring Lamb, Mint Sauce<br />
Roast Turkey, Cranberry Sauce<br />
Green Peas<br />
Purée  Turnips<br />
Boiled Rice</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Boiled &amp; Roast Potatoes<br />
Plum Pudding<br />
Wine Jelly<br />
<a href="http://www.indobase.com/recipes/details/coconut-sandwich.php">Cocoanut Sandwich</a> <em>(sic)</em><br />
American Ice Cream<br />
Nuts Assorted<br />
Cheese<br />
Biscuits<br />
Coffee</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Aside from the coconut sandwich, nothing is particularly unusual or foreign from food most of us would still eat today.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft" style="float: left;" src="http://cookingmonster.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/titanic3.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="299" /><strong>As for the 3rd class passengers</strong>, they apparently didn&#8217;t have a separate menu for all of their meals. A surviving copy indicates they were offered:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;"><em><strong> Breakfast: </strong></em>Oatmeal, porridge and milk, smoked herrings, jacket                   potatoes, ham and eggs, fresh bread &amp; butter, marmalade,                   Swedish bread, tea and coffee.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;">(Jacket Potatoes is another name for normal <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baked_potato">baked potatoes</a>. Fannie Farmer said, in 1918, that <a href="http://www.bartleby.com/87/r0061.html">Swedish bread</a> was a kind of yeast risen coffee cake, shaped into a braid or a ring, and flavored with almonds.)</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em><strong>Dinner:</strong> </em>Rice soup, fresh bread, cabin biscuits, roast beef                   and brown gravy, sweet corn, boiled potatoes, plum pudding,                   sweet sauce and fruit.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em><strong>Tea: </strong></em>Cold meat, cheese and pickles, fresh bread and butter, stewed                   figs and rice, and tea.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em><strong>Supper:</strong> </em>Gruel, cabin biscuits and cheese.</p>
<p>(<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gruel">Gruel</a> is a hot, wet mixture of some type of cereal, wheat or rye flour, and also rice, boiled in water or milk, similar to oatmeal. According to <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=Akp8fz4RqOcC&amp;dq=%22cabin+biscuits%22&amp;source=gbs_summary_s&amp;cad=0">Technology of Biscuits, Crackers and Cookies, Second Edition</a>, by Duncan Manley, (2000), <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=Akp8fz4RqOcC&amp;pg=PA258&amp;lpg=PA258&amp;dq=%22cabin+biscuits%22&amp;source=web&amp;ots=GWF1FVFLPU&amp;sig=j8MufzWjOsIkeRNgOfztxpvccoY&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;oi=book_result&amp;resnum=9&amp;ct=result">cabin biscuits</a> are thin butter cookies, usually flavored with vanilla, but not a lot of sugar. )</p>
