Tiffin aboard the Princess Norah

Tiffin, says Wikipedia, “refers to a light tea-time meal at about 3pm, or to a light breakfast consisting of typical tea-time foods” or to a “the midday luncheon” which is not necessarily “light.” Since the meals on this menu are anything but light, they must be for lunch. This is dated June 18, 1948, so it was on the same cruise of the Princess Norah covered in the last few menus.

Fried pan fish, steamed halibut, loin steak, curried eggs, pork cutlets, and asparagus omelette are some of the offerings on the menu. Or you could get a cold sideboard with roast beef, ox tongue, galantine of fowl, ham, veal, and salmon. A paperclip mark indicates a special menu was once attached to this, but it has been lost.
