Menu ACR, Capsa, 1913

Menu pentru o seara la Capsa in onoarea corpului de automobilisti voluntari , 1913. De remarcat somptuozitatea mancarurilor, si faptul ca meniul, dfiind de unica folosinta, era practic desenat de mana. In acele vremuri Capsa era cotat hotelul nr. 8 din lume de unele reviste. Un "Atunci si acum" nu isi are rostul: desi intotdeauna am mancat bine acolo, clar nu e ce era. Poate nici ACR-ul...



Menu for a Romanian Automobile Club dinner in honour of the Volunteer Automobile Corps at Capsa, 1913. Note the sumptuous foods on offer, and the fact that the menu, essencially single-use, was beautifully decorated for the occasion. Back then, Capsa was rated by some magazines the number 8 hotel in the world. It's probably fair to say that, although I've always eaten well there, it's no longer what it was. (But, perhaps, neither is the Romanian Automobile Club...)
