French Ship Menu from 1899

          The script handwriting is so beautiful and intricate that it was difficult to recognize the letters. I used Google translate from french to English and I was only able to make out some of the appetizers. Curry Rice and french string beans. For the main course there was Ham and eggs, fried sole, 
sauteed Veal. I found a similar recipe for Rouelle de Veau Bourgeoise on the Web and the link is: www.ibiblio.org/expo/restaurant/menu3/rouelles.html 
I am not familiar with Romsteck a cotelette but thankfully I discovered a great blog that translated the words into "rumpsteak chops". You may enjoying reading this blog and learning more about the foods of France if you aren't French( http://realfrance.wordpress.com/what-im-eating/terminology-for-the-boucherie/) Of course if you are french, you know all this already!
So for any of my french speaking foodie readers who wouldn't mind improving on my terrible  translation of food and its description, I would really appreciate your comments and help!
And don't forget to send me your favorite nostalgic or recent cruise ship menu or tell us about your dining experience on aboard a cruise.
