menu

Gala dinner menu from the QUEEN ELIZABETH dated August 11, 1962. The front cover has a photograph of the ship at sea, and a caption on the back cover says "A study in sea and sky: The QUEEN ELIZABETH outward bound from Southampton." The menu has many options, but the suggested menu at center includes poached salmon with Hollandaise sauce, filet mignon, and English plum pudding. This gala menu differs from everyday menus with an inset page and a tasseled yellow silk string binding it together.
