      @TastingHistory Try Jammie Dodgers. Jammie Dodgers are a UK cookie and are amazing. I think with Hamilton Pudding, Jammie Dodgers could be a very, very close substitute if you don't want to make the pudding. And with how you described Hamilton Pudding, I think Jammie Dodgers would be a great substitute.

      Something that will help your first egg whites to be fluffier is if you beat them first, before beating the yolks. The fat in the yolks that gets on the beaters will make it more difficult to beat air into the whites if you beat the yolks first.

    My father was on that ship. He was 2 yrs old and was being taken back to Austria by his mother. Her parents were in poor health and she returned to help them. My grandfather stayed in South Bend, IN. WWI broke out and they didn't return to the US until he was 11 years old. By that time, friends and relatives had forgotten about their Carpatia journey and he was 63 before a cousin casually mentioned to him. Imagine his surprise.

    I'd never heard of Captain Rostron before but after watching this weeks videos on the Carpathia, I have a deep respect for him. From endeavouring to save as many Titanic survivors as possible expecting to need 3000 meals, to even trying to keep the press away from the survivors - he was a real hero. I'm glad to learn he was awarded for it

    • @zoinomiko
      @zoinomiko 2 місяці тому +55

      Rostron and the Carpathia are such an amazing story. He pushed the boat past its max speed - literally turned off the heat to make more steam for propulsion - just to try and save as many as they could. Far beyond the call of duty.

    I have made a similar tart and may I suggest: make it again and put the large blobs (rough lumps) of egg white on while it is hot - as fast as you can possibly blob it on (do not try to smooth or spread). This results in the egg whites melting over the top and baking to a paper thin crust, much like a thin sheet of ice forms at the edge of a marsh, and that creates a delightful brittle crust that cracks! Love your channel. (BTW, my Nana was to have been on the Titanic, third class, but missed the ship! Her sister waited in NYC, went back to Boston, devastated, only to find that her younger sister had arrived in Boston!

      My great-grandmother was to come to Canada on the Titanic. She had gone to the docks, dropped off her trunks, then realized it would be hours before they left, so she left to do some shopping. Apparently she was too late to get back to the ship, and it sailed without her, although her trunks were sent along with the ship. All her things were lost in the sinking, but she survived until 1922 at age 82.

It was days before they got all the details straight, and that was in the same city! Titanic had the additional issues of distance plus (I'm sure) aspects of the telephone game garbling some details.

      The Carpathia was extremely fortunate that it had set off from New York just 3 days before the Titanic sunk, so it had plenty of provisions to last until it could make it back to New York even with so many additional passengers onboard, and because of that I don't believe they needed to ration anything, or if they did, it wouldn't have been a dramatic level of rationing.

    Perfect timing! Yesterday I went to visit the titanic exhibit in Vegas while walking around the Luxor, it was so cool yet somber. We all got tickets that matched the titanic tickets with a name that was one of the people on board, there was a whole chunk of the hull in the exhibit they pulled up! Right before you leave, there’s a list of people lost and survivors by classes. Each ticket has a QR code on it if you can’t find your person that well, the machine will tell you if your person survived and who they were with as well as family they had or what their family did.
    The lady I got, Leila Saks, is the daughter of the founder of saks Departement Store with her husband (who was lost unfortunately as they went with women and children first so most of the men were lost) but without her 2 year old child. That last room is where most of us were, it’s just.. surreal.

    Great job in sourcing the recipe for this! I worked on the Titanic exhibit in 2001 in Seattle where it was for 9 months. Not only did we have a piece of the actual ship the whole exhibition was so much more than can be found at many of the Titanic exhibits that are around the world now. Mainly what I wanted to say was that if she had just hit the iceberg had on she probably would not have sunk. It was because so many holes were punched in her side by the iceberg that was under that caused her to take on more water than they had anticipated for in any of their scenarios. I was fortunate enough to get to touch a piece of the ship with permission and see a lot of the artifacts up close and personal. Other than working the Harry Potter exhibit it's my favorite one that has been around.

    My (late) maternal grandfather came to Ellis Island, from Poland on the ship that towed the Titanic, two years after the Titanic sank. Cheers!

    Perhaps the "tough" in "tough lumps" refers to what we would call "stiff peaks?" So, in effect, "top the tart with lumps of meringue that retain stiff peaks." Tough being used here as another word for hard, stiff, thick, etc.

    This is such a good video!!! Not only does it discuss a part of Titanic history we don't normally hear about (post-rescue and disembarking) but it also revives a recipe that was apparently almost lost to time??? That's so cool????!!! GOOD JOB MAX!

    I loved your Titanic videos! I love the way you do deep dives to give us the full history 😊❤
    This kind of reminds me of a Bakewell tart with the jam layer

    This sounds like a version of a Bakewell Tart. I find Bakewell's too sweet, and this tart sounds like a good one to try. Thanks, Max!

    Max, I dont think the recipe disappeared, it just changed names. My family is of German descent, and we call it an Austrian tart. Ive also heard jam tart and another commenter said a Bakewell tart. Its pretty much the same thing, isnt it?

    I can imagine the people finding land after floating in arctic waters and just being relieved they had to go through it.
