Claridge's, London, December 1898 1906 In the kitchenA lovely handwritten menu from London's celebrated Claridge's Hotel in Mayfair, this has the feel of a historical document. It's fascinating to read. There are oysters and caviar to start and lobster cooked American style. The menu is one of several from this grand British hotel, held in the University of Nevada's Menus: the Art of Dining collection. Courtesy University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Libraries Collections.
