  9. Definitely going to follow this, Great looking car. I see R&R has a '57 Desoto also. From what I see in the photo, it has the fender scripts and "DESOTO" on the hood and trunk. Too bad there isn't a PE set for this.

  12. Oysters are great. So is smoked herring. They're acquired tastes. Looking over the provisions, it's a good thing Diamond Jim Brady wasn't on board. He would've gone through the stores in one sitting. The legendary appetite of Diamond Jim Brady
  13. For breakfast or at High Tea with scones topped with clotted cream?
  14. I checked that site out to get the recipe for Consomme Olga.
  15. Kippered herring. Bon appetit!
  16. Three tons can go pretty fast. Ten course meals require a lot. Plus you have to take into consideration the vast amounts used in a pinch as hair dressing when some gentleman forgot to pack his goose grease pomade. Proper grooming was essential in high society.
  17. With plenty of butter. And, don't be cheap with it, or else.
  18. Speaking of ersters, always provide plenty of butter when serving oyster stew. You don't want to rile up your dinner guests by cheaping out on the moo spread.. From the Brooklyn Standard-Union of September 15, 1877:: ALL ABOUT A STEW--Oysters That Did Not Have Enough Butter With Them What Came of a Request for More Butter-Deadly Sunday Morning Affray in a Saloon Stabbed with a Knife and Bitten by a Dog-Alleged Bad Record of Assailant The oyster saloon of Adam CHRISTMAN, No. 416 Broadway, E.D.. was the scene of a brutal affray at a few minutes after one0'clock yesterday morning. It appears that two employees of SCHULZ' bakery, one of them John GRAHAM, the brother-in-law of the foreman of the bakery, and a resident of 53 Harrison avenue, visited the saloon and ordered stews. CHRISTMAN, the proprietor, was behind the counter, and under his direction the oysters were in a short time placed before the visitors. GRAHAM, thinking that the amount of butter in his stew was insufficient, added to it the piece that the waiter had provided for the crackers, and then called for more. CHRISTMAN, however, OBJECTED TO FURNISHING MORE BUTTER and on GRAHAM expostulating with him positively refusal to accede to the latter's demand. "Well," exclaimed GRAHAM, "if I can't have more butter I won't take the stew," and suiting the action to the words angrily dashed his oyster dish down upon the counter. The dish broke into fragments, and its contents spattered in very direction. The proprietor, CHRISTMAN, is an excitable, quarrelsome German, and it scarcely required the breaking of his crockery to arouse his passionate nature to a dangerous degree. Catching up a long oyster knife he struck GRAHAM two powerful blows on the head with it, at the same time hitting his victim with his left fist, while a black spitz do belonging on the premises fastened its teeth first in the left and then in the right leg of GRAHAM. Then GRAHAM was PERMITTED TO CRAWL OUT of the saloon, and with the assistance of his friend reached his home where Dr. SMITH attended to him. A citizen of No. 468 Broadway, NAMED John GRADY, heard of the affray and carried his information tot he Thirteenth Precinct Stationhouse. Sergeant-in-command BARWICK at once placed Sergeant LEAVEY, Roundsman CORNELL and the reserve force on the case, and CHRISTMAN was found, secreted in a closet in his house, and arrested. He gave his age as fifty. At first it was thought that GRAHAM, who is only twenty-five years of age, was not dangerously injured, but this morning his condition was reported to be so critical that Police Surgeon MURPHY was directed to give him a careful examination. Acting Captain BARWICK says, that while from all accounts GRAHAM is a hard-working and law-abiding man, the prisoner CHRISTMAN, on the other hand, bears a bad reputation. Fifteen years ago, according to BARWICK, CHRISTMAN shot a peddler, but no complaint was ever made and the case was hushed up. The peddler is now dead. CHRISTMAN next served four years for committing mayhem, having bitten a man in the nose, and was subsequently arrested in connection with a clubbing case. The prisoner was this morning committed to jail for examination.
  19. You know how that goes, Harry. They call car hoods bonnets. Put on your old grey car hood with the blue ribbons on itWhile I hitch old Dobbin to the shayThrough those fields of clover you'll ride up to Dover on our golden wedding dayThey got to show off and have a different word for everything, sorta like the French.
  20. The British were too cultured to consider oysters as "fresh fish". After all, they used to eat this for breakfast and at High Tea, ay wot!
  21. That's January Jones. She played Betty Draper on "Mad Men". The photo is part of a shoot she did for some high end beauty care shop called Violet Grey. My wife is always looking and buying BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH like this. The "VG" on the lower left of the photo gave it away. .
  22. Mechanical refrigeration and air conditioning were in existence even back in the early 20th century. Willis Haviland Carrier of New York, invented the first air conditioner in 1902 in Brooklyn . Titanic had a very complex refrigeration/freezing system: Refrigeration and Insulation
  23. Note that there were 1,000 oyster forks listed; yet, no oysters. They forgot the friggin' oysters! What good are oyster forks if you don't have oysters??!? They're right there on the menu dammit, right below the horse d'ovaries! That would have been reason enough to turn around and cancel the voyage. Is it too late to ask for a refund?
  24. You coulda bought one of these for less. They also like to swill beer.
  25. Try that today and you'd have a battalion of shysters pouncing on you like a pack of hyenas on a zebra carcass.
