Fascinating and entertaining, the menu, as a record of the food we
eat, tells us much about who we were and how we lived. From the
historically significant to the unexpected, discover what was eaten
at the first Nobel Prize dinner; what Barack Obama chose for his
inauguration meal; what the Tsar and Tsarina ate at their infamous
society balls; why the first pre-made sandwich was so significant;
and what sort of inflight grub was served up at supersonic speeds
on Concorde. Step in time to dinner dances at the Blackpool Tower
Ballroom; delight in Elvis and Priscilla's wedding breakfast;
marvel at the Titanic's last sitting and raise a glass to El
Bulli's closing service.
