Because there were three classes
on the Titanic, there were, correspondingly, three levels of finery when it came to food service and what each passenger’s final meal was.
Third-Class
There were approximately 710 third-class citizens on board the Titanic, and dinner was the last meal they were served before the ship crashed.
Supper was then served at around 7 or 8 p.m., and offered gruel — a type of porridge —as well as biscuits and cheese, making it the final meal
for third-class passengers.
Second-Class
The second-class supper menu included roast turkey with cranberry sauce, as well as baked haddock, green peas, rice, potatoes, tapioca, ice cream, coffee, and more.
First-Class
The last meal that first-class passengers on the Titanic ate began with various hors d'oeuvres and oysters before moving onto a soup course.
Next came salmon and the main course, which guests could choose between filet mignon, chicken lyonnaise, vegetable marrow farcie, lamb with mint, roast duck, and beef sirloin.
With that came sides like peas, carrots, and rice, Parmentier, and multiple kinds of wine. Finally, dessert included Waldorf pudding, eclairs, French ice cream, and jelly.
