Adding on to OP's Titanic menus, here's a recreation of the dinner menu from the last night before the ship sank.

city tavern in philadelphia still serves the 1773 menu. it's not bad either, idk how it's not a big tourist trap

>>14754464
Just checked the prices online. Pretty steep but not as off-putting as I expected. Might be that people think like I did and presume it's expensive as hell and fancier than they packed for. Probably for the better, though

>>14754297
>tfw you remember when they first launched the 5 layers and it was only $1
It may have been $1.29 can’t remember but fuck it was cheap as hell.

>>14754232
I once had cockie leekie. Some penicillin took care of it.

>>14754255
They really made no effort to pretend back then, did they?

>>14754562

Simpler times, friend.

>>14754562
Realistically a lot of people didn't have very well functioning teeth, so a liquid option was generally a good idea. Doesn't seem too terribly bad for the most economy of accommodations
>ham, eggs, bread/butter, coffee for breakfast
>roast beef/gravy, bread, corn for lunch
>evening tea and snack
>cabin biscuit so you don't puke your guts out before bed

>>14754255
what the fuck is stewed figs with rice?

>>14754380
I wonder if in 30 years our current fine dining will look as dated as this does today.

>>14755394
>they served the cinnamon twists in a paper bag! paper! how fancy and elegant.

>>14754380
Damn, that’s hand drawn calligraphy. I wonder if it was only done for a master copy, or if the restaurant just employed a calligrapher full time.

>>14755407
>t. the time traveler.

>>14754232
>cockie leekie
Happens to me whenever I see a picture of you're mom.

>>14755418
It's good but not amazing calligraphy, For the date, I wouldn't be surprised if the front of house manager wrote up new ones daily and photocopied.

>>14755372
did you never have sweet rice before?

>>14754237
For me, it's Yarmouth Bloaters

>>14755372
its like rice pudding but with figs instead of raisins.

>>14755475

I haven't flown in like 8 years, but used to all the time as a milfag, even back then they were the biggest fucking jews. Doing LAX to O'Hare to Dulles and at best you'd get a kids bag of goldfish crackers and 1/3 of a can of soda on each leg. It's probably only gotten worse.

>>14757798
Yeah they're pretty fucking grubby still. I remember flying in the 90s you'd get a pretty decent meal depending on your flight's length and drink service was constant, all complimentary except for alcohol and this was in economy.

>>14754283
>boiled mutton and caper sauce
sounds pretty based actually

>complaints about want of attention should be directed to the steward
So will this site start employing stewards?

>>14754283
I'll have some roast beef and all the Spirituous Liquors and Wines of the first quality.

>>14754297
That's kind of expensive for 1935, one taco for 89 cents each? That should be like 20 cents.

>>14754461
No wonder the people sank so fast, even faster than Natalie Wood.

Dibs on a Reuben!

>>14760308
... I'd like know what the lunch box for fishing parties is, that seems pretty cool.
This is a pretty cool menu reading into it.

Reuben from a 1937 Nebraska government web page.
This site is good reading for folk interested in history.
https://history.nebraska.gov/blog/was-reuben-sandwich-invented-omaha

Could be lore... from the Nebraska site:


According to Omaha lore, the Reuben Sandwich was dreamed up at Omaha's Blackstone Hotel in 1925 by Reuben Kulakofsky, a local grocer, to feed a group of late-night poker players. Charles Schimmel, one of the players and the hotel's owner, liked it so much he put it on the menu of The Plush Horse, the hotel restaurant. A competing claim comes from the family of Arnold Reuben, who owned a series of New York City restaurants. Although there is evidence that a sandwich similar to the classic Reuben was served at Arnold Reuben's restaurants, only family stories substantiate his claim to THE Reuben Sandwich.

>>14754283
Chophouses still exist in london but no clue why they never spread to other parts of the world. Even Ireland doesn't really have anything comparable

>>14754326
No standard for what paper money is based on, printing more and more causing deflation of that what exists causing inflation of prices. It's all laid in a good book "Secrets of the Temple" by Greider. Give it a read if you care to know.

Dino-size was a size larger than super size during a promotion for Disney's " Dinosaur".

Me and my best friend both got a dinosize and we dumped them into one big pile on the tray. My 10 year old brain engrained fry mountain in my brain and I still remember it fondly.

Here's a later Delmonico's menu, 1917 for this guy.

>>14754461
I see the water wrinkled that menu a little.

>>14761309
yeah but a US dollar in 1946 is about $13 today so it’s not like it was dirt cheap.

>>14754297
I think you're off by about 50 years

Nothing about that looks from the 1930s

I dunno if it's still open but there's one in S. Florida that was a lot of fun. I almost got smacked by my girlfriend for looking at all the hot chicks there, my girlfriend was hotter but she didn't like me looking. It was a really nice place and there was a cool garden inside that was cool for couples to chill out in.

>>14762348
Yeah, hopefully they got some tusks out it to adorn their mansions and such. It's sad that they're still being hunted by savages for ivory when they're peaceful things. Apparently the chink love that ground up elephant tusk because it'll they're little tiny penors look bigger and make them want to buy nuke tech.

I know, it's pretty obvious and has been for a very long time that yen is like cents. so just chop off the last two digits to appoximate USD. Didn't you sen as well that hundreths of a yen?

>>14760693
The purpose of money is to facilitate trade and commerce, you nutter. Just because it was once pegged to gold doesn't mean it's literally gold. It's why people lend money at an interest rate and people write contracts with inflation in mind. Using paper bills as a permanent log term store of wealth is fucking stupid and it's your fault if you got fucked over by inflation by stuffing wads of paper money into a mattress.

>>14766665

Fuck, this brings back memories. Outback was the first national chain restaurant to open near me and my parents took us there all the time. I loved that damn Alice Springs chicken.

"Brown Hotel", does that mean "Colored" ? Weird they had Green Tea. No Alcohol though.

>>14768519
No, 'brown' in this case is just the name of it.

>>14766923
those are in cents bro

>>14768529
I'm not quite sure but I suspect it's just the family name of the owner.
I looked it up, it's from a family name J. Graham Brown.

I'd stay at the Brown hotel in Louisville, I've just never had a reason to be in Loiusville. I have nothing against the place I just haven't gotten there yet.

Tiki drinks are coming back in popularity. There's been stuff going on with old recipes being rediscovered in recent years. I've gotten into mixing them in my home bar and can make maybe a third of those drinks on that menu.

>>14761068
I like how these all have the same garnish because they can't be fucked and really like their little easter island skewer.

>>14769441
Where do you live?

>>14761625
There was a lot of recipe stealing going on among the old tiki bars. The original Zombie and maitai recipes were sort of lost to time for a while. Don, the inventer of the zombie, used unlabeled bottles on his bar with numbers and his bartenders were only given recipes using those numbers. There's a long story about the hunt for the recipe for the zombie, eventually leading to the discover of what "don's mix" was, which was just grapefruit and cinnimon syrup.

However because of all of this any time someone ordered one of these drinks it would just be whatever that bar decided it would be. What's a zombie? Idk, mix some juices with a lot of booze. See what happens. All they care about is that it has lots of whatever it has.

So you get a thousand bastard versions of these drinks but a number of places these days are starting to use the rediscovered old recipes.

It's kind of amusing how little has changed in terms of restaurants serving breakfast in 160+ years. That could easily be a modern diner menu.

Do you have a larger version of this? I live in Baltimore, fairly close to where this place was, and I'd love to have a copy.

>>14773941
I looked but can't find anything larger or with better resolution. I bet if you asked them directly at the hotel's email they might have it.

>>14773941
Even better ask in person and/or ask using the hotel's GMs or F&B director's addy.

>>14762974
>>14763137

Apparently it was a landlord dispute. Hopefully they’ll open up somewhere else.

>>14775040
I heard it was financial problems with a chain they were part of. Aren't they part of the Hop Cat chain? The second covid hit the Cop Cat here closed down and I heard they had been having money problems leading up to it.

I heard they filed for bankruptcy but I could be wrong.

>>14775019
yeah, unfortunately the first I heard of the place was when someone in a tiki forum said they were closing a few months back. I'm keeping an eye on their mugs on ebay for the price to drop down so I can snag one.

I meant to post a pic. I don't go for the mug collecting a lot of people into tiki drinks do (I don't have the space anyway) but I really want this one.

I was trying to figure out why the prices were so crazy for a menu from 1993, turns out this is from an island in Alaska if anyone was wondering.

>>14775107
Office of Price Administration. During wartime in the 1940s the OPA regulated domestic prices to prevent inflation which would have crippled the US economically while it was fighting a two front war.

Any so called "modern" type will be confused by something as simple as a book. They need constant pop-up ads to keep up their lame ass attention span.

Man, I am thoroughly lower-middle class in my food preference. I've thought this before whenever I watch any michelin star luxury hotel fine dining, that I really prefer "casual"/"popular" food compared to what rich people eat.

What does starting out "lower-middle" class have to do with anything, tons of people have and have become millionaires and billionaires yet don't whine about it like you do. A lot of people started out with far less.

“1770 Jan. 11 - The earliest document seen in which an American mentions tofu is a letter written by the famous Benjamin Franklin
(who was in London) to John Bartram in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He sent Bartram some soybeans (which he called "Chinese caravances") and with them he sent "Father Navarrete's account of the universal use of a cheese made of them in China, which so excited my curiosity, that I caused enquiry to be made of Mr. [James] Flint, who lived many years there, in what manner the cheese was made, and I send you his answer. I have since learned that some runnings of salt (I suppose runnet) is put into water, when the meal is in it, to turn it to curds."

1821 - The second earliest reference seen to tofu in America, and the first to be published in the USA, appeared when A.F.M. Willich of Philadelphia mentioned it in The Domestic Encyclopedia. Speaking of soybeans (which he called "the seeds of the Chinese plant Dolichos soja"), he wrote: These seeds are used in China and Japan as food; they are made into a kind of jelly or curd, which is esteemed very nutritious, and which is rendered palatable by seasonings of different kinds."
so, only mentioned twice in 50 years, and not even made manufactured for 100 years from the first mention....yeah, classic 18th century food, you cocksucking pedant

It's cause they just closed so some collector types are buying them up. But that won't last and the price should drop to something less ridiculous.

Meanwhile the tiki mug I want more than anything costs the price of a vacation at disney world, but to but it myself I would need to purchase an actual vacation to disney world to visit the only place outside of ebay where they're sold.
