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)
“I have served him, and the man commands
Like a full soldier.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“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)
