Menu from Titanic sells for $80,000

Supposedly, the Titanic menu sold is one of three or four menus from the last first-class lunch still around, so it's a pretty valuable artifact considering everyone from that tragic time period is no longer alive.

The menu featured is dated April 14, 1912. That would make if 104 years old in a few months. A few unfamiliar food items listed such as "Consomme Fermier" translates to Farmer's clear soup or vegetable broth soup and "Cockie Leekie" is chicken soup with leeks. I would have probably ordered the "Eggs a L'Argeneuil," a dish similiar to eggs benedict or "Salmon Mayonnaise," salmon baked with mayo on top. Yes, please! I found a blog online that explains what most of these dishes would be in modern day: So Good Blog.

I would love it if one of the menus I've collected sold for that much or was worth anything. Not that it would validate my "collecting" experience, but it certainly would be a nice future investment surprise.
