1961 menu from the QUEEN MARY

menu

Gala dinner menu from the QUEEN MARY dated July 1, 1961. The front cover has a reproduction of a painting by artist Charles E. Turner of the ship at sea. The suggested menu includes chilled Cavaillono melon, clear turtle soup with sherry, poached salmon with Hollandaise sauce, grilled fillet steak, and English plum pudding with a plate of petits fours. This gala menu differs physically from everyday menus, as it has a second sheet of paper inside the cardstock cover, with a yellow tasseled silk string to bind them together.
