A Meal to Remember

A meal to remember is easier said than done to delineate for the reason that any meal served anywhere cannot be memorized in due sense but such a rare moment materialize in man’s life cannot be articulated like run of the mill. In my upbringing, I have seen a bet that a man has eaten an enormous food rigorously which troubled him to a great extent and this unpleasant incident may be remembered in view of sagacity that it was not an ordinary food but very exceptionally it was served to him which was enforced on his part. A few days ago, I have read in a local newspaper that a man of Bangladesh was handicapped in the tribal area of Canada in connection with visa to America. It was 12 days belated to have access and in those days, he had to eat some inferior biscuits and breads and in that far-flung position, no fresh rice was found to eat with his full contents. On the 13th day, he got rice with ordinary curry and that kind of food was ever a memorable meal for him. Recently, I have seen a film based on Titanic disaster where various types of foods were served to the passengers. All the types of foods so far the management of the ship tried to find out were provided to the passengers and in the history of civilized world, such items of foods were rare and in fact, to make such foods ever memorable, the passengers had been fed voraciously as far as they could. Before death, such foods they ate were valuable, costly and rare. Before starting the sea voyage, the owner of the Titanic felt glory in such gesture that he believed that the world may destroy but this great liner cannot be cracked. But the ancient proverb ‘Pride goes before fall’ was substantiated in real life situation. Having got so much food, some of the passengers shouted gladly and expressed their gratitude to the ship authority that their deaths would eventually occur as they had eaten as far as they could for their self-indulgence.

When 1500 Titanic passengers were inundated in the icy North Atlantic waters on April 14, 1912, they shared one universal condition, just before the disaster, every single one had been extremely well nourished. Even the immigrants in third class- called steerage in the movie ‘Titanic’ enjoyed dinners that probably were better than those they usually ate at home. As for first class – how many flashy ways can some one convert money into food was an inquiring feeling on the part of the people who had been victimized in that disaster. Oysters, asparagus with saffron, filet mignon embellished with foie gras and black truffles, then some more foie grass had been served adequately and even just as in the movie as has been reflected, the chief of the ship gave Oscar caliber performances in the sense that a good beginning in the sea voyage would symbolize an active motion likely to finish half the battle.

For the first class passengers, the last meal served on the Titanic had eleven courses- each with a special wine. This was a meal to remember on ‘A night to remember’ as many philosophers and the last survivor termed it where four of the courses were a meat, fish or game dish that may be treated as the main courses of today being rare and identified as one of the rich food. It was an amazing phase in the midst of disaster to float over the vast Atlantic Ocean where the arrangements for the passengers were perfect, glorious and dignified. We know this from a copy of the doomed ship’s final first class menu survived in the pocket of a passenger. Details about the menu and more juicy morsels, from recipes to gossip, come from the records kept in the library on ‘Last dinner on Titanic Menus and recipes from the great Liner’ surveyed and collected in tact by Rick bold and Dana McCauley.

In shortened form, the courses of the final first class menu were: Shrimp canapés and raw oyster with Vodka, lemon and hot sauce, Consommés or barley soup, poached salmon with mousse line sauce, a choice of filet mignon with foie gras and black truffles or Chicken Lionfish, plus a stuffed zucchini like vegetables, a choice of minted lamb, glazed roast duck or beef sirloin, served with potatoes, mint pea timbales and creamed carrots, a plate-clearing sorbet made from champagne, orange juice and rum, roast squab on watercress, asparagus champagne-saffron salad, a cold plate, including foie gras plate, a choice of desserts including peaches jelled in chartreuse liqueur, and chocolate éclairs or French Vanilla ice cream, both a novelty at the time and lastly, assorted fresh fruits and cheeses had been served to the unfortunate passengers of the great liner. Before sea voyage such rare items had been collected for the passengers which seemed to be an amazing event in the world. Suffice it to say, every passengers ate voraciously and made merriments to a great extent. The Titanic was built by valuable metals collected from home and abroad and other rare materials which were also a painstaking task but the incident of sinking the Titanic occurred by hitting an ice flake which was impossible on the part of such magnificent ship. There is no denying the fact, the foods that had been served to passengers were all costly and collected from here and there and even from the remotest corner which were rare in the history of sea voyage. It has been found out later that a research body has worked in this connection so that the first journey of the Titanic becomes successful and romantic. As per remarks made by the commentator of Radio and TV, the journey was excellent at the outset but in the latter just after 45 minutes, every thing had been changed metrically as a flow of misfortune. It hit on the flakes of ice very minutely which was out of humanity’s reach for the first time of the disaster but it was discovered later which surprised every one in the world.

Finally, in view of the above, it is evident that the meal which was served to the passengers of the great liner Titanic just on the eve of great disaster was a meal to remember. If we profoundly ponder over such events, the great liner was a magnificent object that were ever built for which the owner felt pride in his mind as millions and millions of pound were involved in it. It was a rare incident in the history of sea voyage as 1500 lives were wrecked for which the whole world had been traumatized. The people of the world articulate their subterranean condolence to the people who died in the ship wreck. The reduce to rubble of the great Liner was exposed in 1985 for which a court of the United States settled the possession right to the RMS Titanic Inc., to carry out salvage operation by establishing a separate sight near the wreck. This company tried heart and soul to recover goods and they afterwards did it which had been reflected in the web page of the company and in the Greenwich records also. But Eva Hurt, the last survivor criticized it in the sense that the company had done so to express their business image in the world which was unlawful. She argued on the basis that the whole event may be preserved as a memorial tomb.

In fine, the Titanic disaster is a memorable event and the meal that was served just before the wreck was a meal to remember. According to Eva Hurt, the last survivors, the out cries and the sweet memories in the midst of merriments of the people just before death need to be treated as a memorial tomb. The recovered items as reflected in the Greenwich records must recollect us to show high esteems to the passengers of the great liner.

Yugioh card values?..?

I have the following cards
Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning IOC-025 1st Edition (Ultra Rare)
Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End IOC-000 1st Edition (Secret Rare)
I want to sell these on ebay. About how much could I sell the SET (both cards together) for.

That Chaos Emperor Dragon Envoy Of The End WOULD be WORTH about $30 at most, and the Black Luster Soldier Envoy Of The Beginning would be worth about $20 at most, which makes the total about $50. I hate to be the one to tell you this, but on Ebay, they will NOT sell for more than $20 unless the buyer is willing to pay ALOT more then everyone else is selling it for. I DO have an Idea to increase your chance of a quick sale for some decent money; Look on ebay for the EXACT thing you're trying to sell, and make a price just BARELY less than the LOWEST-NEAR LOWEST price and make it a BUY IT NOW PRICE. This will practically guarantee you a quick sale, and the most money you could probably make. Sorry, but that's all I've got...
