Violet Jessop, who survived not just the sinking of the Titanic, but also the Olympic and Britannic working as a ladies maid/stewardess - noted in her diaries that American passengers noticeably realized that she was a person who was only trying to make their trip more pleasant - whereas one can infer that the British passengers merely saw her as a servant, not much more.

They were called “ houseboys” and “ housegirls” by the local British settlers. We decided on “ workers” a more dignified description.

The Titanic had its own printshop on board. They created the menus, notices, wine lists, stationery/envelopes, etc. The menus were printed via letterpress and some prints used a process called thermography. When it comes to letterpress printing, each character (an individual letter like "a") has to be placed by hand, but each letter is reversed and the words itself had to be arranged in reverse. It doesn't surprise me that one of the menus came out with a spelling error. Either they didn't catch it or they did but were short on either time or paper. On the night of the sinking, it is possible that the printers, Albert and Ernest, were printing the following day's menus. Although it would be at the bottom of the ocean, it's wild to think that a menu exists for a day that never came to many passengers.

I so wish Max would read some books for Audible. His storytelling ability is fantastic. I felt the pain of the loss of the Spanish couple.

I know this is from a month ago but I just have to share my little story. A number of years ago 5 of my cousins and I went to the Titanic exhibition that was touring the country. At the start, everyone was given a card about the size of those menu cards you showed. On each card was the name of a passenger along with other info including what class they had been in and you would pretend you were that person. At the end of the exhibit was a large board you checked to see if "you" survived or not. My cousins all had 2nd and 3rd class men while I had a first class female so I joked that I was the only one of us who survived. I was shocked at the end to find she had actually perished. It was Ann Isham, I still remember the name. Thanks for this additional info about her!

Beautiful content as always, Max. The story about these two reminded me of another couple, named Ida and Isidor Straus, that were a Love powerhouse couple. When they went to the lifeboats, she realised that her husband wasn’t gonna come with her and stepped off. Both the officer and her husband demanded that she get back on the boat, and she responded “We have lived together for many years. Where you go, I go”. That makes my eyes sweat a bit.

Interesting - I'm also allergic to raw egg whites, or albumen. If the whites are cooked, no problem. But be aware - last time I had to have surgery, I warned the anaesthetist that I was very likely to crash on the table, as I had every previous time I'd had surgery. So he delayed the operation for about 15 minutes to do some quick research - turns out that quite a few of the modern chemicals used in anaesthesia is made with denatured albumin, and that was likely why I had so much trouble with it (denatured or not); we went the old school way with sodium pentothal, which has a longer recovery time, but I sailed through some major surgery without a problem. (And the Titanic recipes look interesting - I wonder if there's a Titanic's Last Meals cookbook?)

Hey Max, for your egg allergy, you may want to give duck or quail eggs a try! I have problems with chicken eggs, but I learned I can have duck eggs. They are heavier and stronger in taste, though (and with a larger yolk), so quail eggs are sometimes a better substitute for some recipes. Also, the baked in factor is actually really common; the proteins undergo a change when slowly cooked throughout with a high enough heat like when done in an oven. Something like a meringue or angel food cake may still give you problems, though, so be careful and good luck!

Reading this, I'm reminded of something I read a couple of years back. It was so long ago that I don't remember the details but essentially a man died, leaving his wife a widow. Every year following his death, she would receive a bouquet of flowers on their anniversary from him. Obviously, she got really upset thinking that this was some kind of cruel joke or something so she confronted the flower shop to get them to stop. Upon doing so, she finds out that her husband had in fact set up and paid in full to have these flowers delivered to her every year even after his death. I don't remember where this happened but it's frankly one of my most favorite stories. It's both heartbreaking but at the same time so very sweet.

13:25 When I was first learning to talk, my older cousins taught me to say "tight buns," so Max's use of the phrase and his barely contained giggle afterwards made me smile 😁

I made this breakfast for my Mum on Mother's Day and because of the yeast, the buckwheat cakes had a flavour similar to Vegemite (Vegemite is basically yeast extract). The pancakes are hard to eat on their own, so I served them with avocado and a squeeze of lemon juice. And it was like eating vegemite and avocado toast, absolutely delicious!

I'm obsessed with Titanic. As a child, I used to read books and news paper articles. I love that you do these! Please do more!

Speaking of animals that were on the Titanic, something I had to look up because no one has ever mentioned it. There was a cat on board the Titanic, named Jenny. She was the designated mouse catcher for the ship. She was lost with the ship 😭.

Hi Max! I've just found out about this recently myself, but apparently with egg allergies, the rawer the egg, the more allergy-inducing it is. So because the shirred eggs were quite lightly cooked (eg almost a bit raw) that's probably why you had a severe reaction to it. Deviled eggs should be fine, since those are made from hard boiled eggs, eg not raw 😊

On griddle cakes, "The larger they are the harder they are to flip." An ancient cookbook my grandmother owned (it went to one of my aunts when she passed so I cannot easily reference it) had a basic griddle cake recipe that said you never want to pour more batter than the width of your spatula. I wonder if this is one of those "lost truths" that not enough people wrote down because they assumed it was common enough knowledge or easy enough to figure out that the average person cooking would not need to be told.

Thanks for another great interesting video on the Titanic and the meals! I would think that any breakfast menu at the bottom of the ocean since 1912 would have discinegrated by now! The rolled salmon with a bit of green at the top resembles carrots. BTW, I appreciate the fact that you really do your homeowork, both culinary and historically!

The loss of little Helen Allison is really heartbreaking. Her parents would have been able to get her and her mother on a lifeboat but they refused because they didn’t know where the nanny was with their son. The nanny had done her job well and had already got the baby boy onto a lifeboat. If they’d known or even trusted the nanny to be competent, then little Helen would not have been the only small child from first class to die.

I despair at the perfect storm: a coal strike that lead to so many people being transferred to that ship because she was the one running, to the coal fire in the bunker, the fact that she was delayed sailing due to her sister ship needing repairs, the hubris of man, and the possible insurance fraud that no matter how deep I dive or how much I twist the arguments, I’m unable to see clear to discount. Then the brave souls who played as it sank and lost their lives. The PTSD that some survivors suffered. The absolute miracle that the 2 little boys in 2nd survived their father kidnapping them and the sinking and were safely returned to their mother. No one deserved to die but it’s a sad fact that even if class hadn’t played a part, then an awful lot of people were going to die simply because there wasn’t enough and then a surplus of seats available. It just hurts to think of all those hopeful lives lost. Rich or poor, they all had hopes and dreams and futures.

Anyway, my great-grandma got really sick at the beginning of April and was not able to travel (I think it was bronchitis she had). My grandma & her sister were very disappointed but they couldn't leave her by herself so they cashed in their tickets and ended up coming over here 6 weeks later on a clipper shit.
