The $135,000 Menu

Rare menu from Titanic's second class restaurant to be auctioned for $135G

Saloon steward Jacob Gibbon mailed the breakfast menu to his girlfriend back in England to tell her that it had been a 'Good voyage up to now' three days before the infamous liner met its fate.

See the menu here:

That has to be the fanciest title I've ever heard for what sure sounds like peaches in jello.

I prefer kippers, myself.

And I love grilled kidneys, although lamb kidneys do better than ox kidneys for grilling. Save the ox kidneys for steak and kidney pie.
