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.

“That trunk of humors, that bolting-hutch of beastliness, that
swollen parcel of dropsies, that huge bombard of sack, that

the pudding in his belly.”

“By metaphor you paint
A thing. Thus, the pineapple was a leather fruit,
A fruit for pewter, thorned and palmed and blue,
To be served by men of ice.”

“The two-party system has given this country the war of Lyndon Johnson, the Watergate of Nixon, and the incompetence of Carter. Saying we should keep the two-party system simply because it is working is like saying the Titanic voyage was a success because a few people survived on life-rafts.”
—Eugene J. McCarthy (b. 1916)
