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 that 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 in time known as the Edwardian era. Hear stories of Wisconsin residents who were aboard the Titanic, like Daniel (“Popcorn Dan”) Coxon, and more. Throughout the presentation, nibble on seasonal foods that Titanic passengers ate, including the assorted cheeses that were offered on the first class luncheon buffet each day. Recipes will be provided. Books will be available for purchase.This program is made possible with the support of Beyond the Page, National Endowment for the Humanities, and Madison Community Foundation.
