TITANIC MENUS: A CULINARY JOURNEY WITH TIES TO WISCONSIN
Monday, October 13
1 pm
Nicolet College, Northwoods Center 207-209
Instructor: Veronica Hinke
Delve into letters that first class Titanic passengers wrote to loved ones at home, describing the elaborate lunch feasts and other delicacies. Study the distinctly different menus from first, second, and third class. How were they different? What items are still enjoyed today and what items raise eyebrows today? The foods passengers and crew members ate are glimpses into the past. They are footnotes in history that provide insight into how people lived and experienced life during a distinct period known as the Edwardian era. Hear stories of Wisconsin residents who were aboard the Titanic, like Merrill resident, third class Titanic passenger Daniel (“Popcorn Dan”) Coxon and more. Books will be available for purchase.
