Titanic’s Creamed Carrots

downtonabbeycooks · July 8, 2018 ·

This dish was served to accompany the meat dishes served as part of the Fifth Course in 1st Class on Titanic.

Mrs. Beeton, the great Victorian cookbook diva, was rumored to have advised that “you should cook carrots no less than 90 minutes”.  If you are planning your own Titanic dinner, you may wish to concede to our more modern tastes and cook the carrots only until easily pierced by a fork.
