A Taste of Titanic
It was the most luxurious liner in the world when it launched, and it was also the first time steerage passengers didn’t have to bring enough food with them to last the journey.
The menus of Titanic have been recreated for a new visitor experience at the award-winning Titanic Belfast.
The two hour food tasting tour will include a shipyard worker’s hearty snack and a First Class champagne treat.
The tours will take place on Friday 19th June and Friday 21st August. The £35 ticket will include entrance to the Titanic Galleries, a guided tour, food and drink tastings and a branded souvenir photo.
Tours will run at 6.30pm, 7.30pm or 8.30pm. To book, visit www.titanicbelfast.com or call +44 28 9076 6399.

The first crop of Comber Earlies will be on sale at Comber Farmer’s Market tomorrow, Thursday 4 June 2015, 9.00pm -1.30pm, St Mary’s Parish Church Car Park, the Square, Comber. Due to the recent spell of cold weather, these lovely little papery skinned jewels are late this year and are only starting to be dug up by local farmers.
The best way to eat Comber Earlies is simply to scrub them well, boil or steam for about 15 – 20 minutes, dollop with butter and season with salt and pepper.
There are also lots of bedding plants, unusual perennials for your garden borders, hanging baskets and beautiful scented cut flowers at very good prices
