1oo years ago today Titanic sank. Time to remember those who was onboard that beautiful ship with the terrible destiny. I have been investigating the food that was served the fatal night. First class menu was 11 course long. One of the dishes that were served was the poached salmon with mousseline sauce. This is my version in 1/12 scale. The dinner plate has the same pattern that was used on Titanic first class passengers. Alongside you can see the menu and the boarding card.
I got so caught up in the story that I have bought a couple of books about the subject. One is called “Last dinner on the Titanic” written in 1997. Last one is “RMS TITANIC dinner is served” from 2010.
Tonight I will watch the movie once again. I have seen some online that will host Titanic dinner parties. Sounds like a challenging and fun idea. I just have to get the books with the recipes first…
The set is available in my Etsy store.
Extreme close up of the poached salmon. Looks tender and flaky don’t you think?

Hi Christel, the salmon looks amazing, so realistic...I'm also caught up in the story of the Titanic. I'm reading "A Night To Remember" which is the story as told by survivors. What a lovely idea to reproduce the food in miniature.
Christel your salmon looks amazing and a nice way to remember the Titanic.
Looks good enough to eat, Christel x
Hi Christel, in Singapore, there was even a pretty spectacular exhibition of Titanic Artifacts http://titanic.sg/ where not only can you see the reconstruction of a room in 1st, 2nd and 3rd class, you experience a little of what went on as well. They even recreate the iceberg. Your ticket to the exhibition bears the name of one of the passenger on the fateful day eg 3rd Class Passenger, Mr J Smith. At the end of the exhibition, you can find out if you survive the sinking. :)
My 7 year old nephew is a Titanic buff. I must show him your incredible salmon.
