Beautiful presentation!

And quite a different menu from what we got in later years.

Were there any vegetarian options in the 1980s? I used to be very impressed by the efforts made for vegetarians in the 2000s.

Very few vegetarian options in those days...most done to order - carnivores ruled the waves then!!!

Hi
Thanks so much for posting these.
Isn't the choice of food and expressions/wording on the Menu 'classic',
and seems to be stuck in a 60s and 70s sort of time warp?!!
This is exactly the sort of menu that you might find at The Aldelphi Hotel in Liverpool
in its hey day too!

Thanks for posting Twynks I really should look mine out...would be Xmas but then..funny you mentioned the Adelphi  We just loved that hotel...it's a beautiful place. Always try to stay there when in Liverpool....it's from another era isn;t it?

I had every menu from the 1980 world cruise but I sent them to auction along with a ward room plaque and an unopened 1980 world cruise commenerative bottle of whisky......stupid person I am cos I didn't get a lot for them either.

Looked on the timeline for today and thought, hold on, didn't I just pick up a menu from that very day at Mum and Dad's just yesterday? Well........nearly.

Reception and Gala Dinner at the Shangri-La Hotel Singapore. 24th February 1982.

Unless I'm very much mistaken, It was me who took that group photo at the Shangri-La.

The Retirees Lunch, The Wardroom, 27th August 1990.

Superb, Our Alan. Did you get dinner too?

[Alan Snelson]

I believe I did. Because of the work we did we were usually required to attend these events and generally got the chance to enjoy the perks too. I've got a photo of myself and ex-wife somewhere in my collection taken in the same location as the group shot, will have to scan & post.

[riskygizmo]

Would be great to see it Alan. Got some Photographed Onboard shots to upload when I work out where. Wonder if it's your handwriting on the back of a couple.

And as if by magic, here is the aforementioned photo of myself and my ex, Karen Newman as she was at that time. Sorry, I know it's not a restaurant menu, just tying off the thread from riskygizmo's earlier post.
