The Waldorf Pudding Served On The Titanic
A dessert called Waldorf Pudding was served to first class passengers on the RMS Titanic on the April 14, 1912. The exact recipe for this dessert remains unknown and it may have been specific to White Star Line. Several speculated recipes using apples, walnuts, and raisins (which are the key ingredients of Waldorf salad) exist but there is no evidence that any of these ingredients were used in the Waldorf pudding served on the Titanic. The chefs at the Waldorf Hotel had never heard of Waldorf pudding around the time of the sinking of the Titanic.
A menu from Celebrity Cruises describes Waldorf Pudding served on the R.M.S. Olympic in 1914 as a creamy vanilla pudding flavored with a hint of nutmeg, diced apples and sultana grapes.

Famous quotes containing the words pudding, served and/or titanic:
“... when the Spaniards persecuted heretics they may have been crude, but they were not being unreasonable or unpractical. They were at least wiser than the people of to-day who pretend that it does not matter what a man believes, as who should say that the flavour and digestibility of a pudding will have nothing to do with its ingredients.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
“Man is an intelligence, not served by, but in servitude to his organs.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“We can never have enough of nature. We must be refreshed by the sight of inexhaustible vigor, vast and titanic features, the sea-coast with its wrecks, the wilderness with its living and its decaying trees, the thunder-cloud, and the rain which lasts three weeks and produces freshets. We need to witness our own limits transgressed, and some life pasturing freely where we never wander.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
