EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to post-war London, as we present this rare and fascinating menu card from Claridges Restaurant, dated 11th March 1946. With the shadows of World War II still looming, rationing was still in full effect, yet the promise of a fine dining experience shone through. The menu, featuring three elegant courses, showcases the creativity and resourcefulness of the culinary team at Claridges. The first course offers a choice between Consommé Olivier, a classic clear soup garnished with poached eggs, crayfish tails, and truffles, or Salade de Haricots Verts, a fresh green bean salad with bacon and a mustard dressing. The second course presents a delightful surprise - Lobster à l'Américaine, a succulent dish of lobster tail cooked in a rich tomato and brandy sauce, served with a side of potatoes and peas. The main course options include Filet Mignon à la Bordelaise, a tender and juicy beef fillet cooked in a red wine sauce, and Sole Meunière, a classic French dish of sole fish coated in breadcrumbs and pan-fried in butter. The dessert course offers a tempting choice between Crème Caramel, a rich and creamy custard topped with a layer of caramel sauce, and Peach Melba, a delightful combination of poached peaches, raspberry sauce, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The wine list, featuring a selection of red, white, and sparkling wines, adds an air of sophistication to the meal, making it a truly memorable dining experience despite the ongoing rationing. This menu card is a testament to the resilience and dedication of the Claridges team in providing their guests with a fine dining experience, even in the most challenging of times.
