The Avro just has the edge on speed over RMS Laconia


Thanks to Brian (flyTexas) for the Laconia conversion

Yes, but the food was better on RMS Laconia.

were they trying to confuse the passengers, Brian?
"Merian Frit au Citron"; "Tarte Namuraise"........"French Ice Cream"

[FlyTexas]

Judging by the way Cunard wrote the date (Tuesday, September 8th, 1914) I'd assume this menu was meant to be read by American passengers. Maybe a west-bound Atlantic crossing? Anything French sounding would appeal to many Americans at that time. Me included...if I was around back then

Yes Brian, but what I was getting at, was the number of descriptions in French language, followed by "French Ice Cream" written in English.
It seemed incongruously amusing. Simple things please simple minds!

[FlyTexas]

I see what you mean. It is silly.

Ewww. Judging by the menu I would've had the Sirloin & Ribs of Beef.
