In first class, passengers were treated to as many as 13 courses for a single dinner. This menu from the ship shows what these passengers ate for luncheon on the day the Titanic hit the iceberg:

Third-class passengers didn't fare so well.

They really weren't "all in the same boat"...class-wise.

"Sixty-one percent of first class passengers survived the catastrophe (most of them women and children, who were loaded on the life boats first), but those numbers lowered significantly for people in lower classes. In second class, 42 percent of passengers survived, while less than a quarter of third class passengers made it out of the disaster alive".

First class passengers also enjoyed filet mignon as part of their dinner spread. The tender beef was traditionally topped with artichoke hearts and foie gras, creating a truly decadent dish.

The historian omitted a very important point i.e exactly where the knife rests when eating the American zig zag way. The knife goes on the top right hand of the plate. I sent him a message :ROFLMAO:
 
After reading that menu, I don't think the Titanic was sunk by an iceberg.
I think the ship's weight limit was exceeded.
