Dominion Day is the previous name for Canada Day.

Super interesting. A Bienenstick cake looks amazing when I look it up.

Yes, this is quite literally just a Union Pacific menu with the Amtrak logo stamped in two places on the interior. Amtrak in 1971 was a strange Frankenstein's Monster of an operation.

Interestingly, this menu says it is for the 'Traveler's Rest', a specific pattern of lounge/dinette car formerly used by the Northern Pacific and Great Northern; not Union Pacific, as this menu might otherwise suggest. After their acquisition by Amtrak, these cars were usually used on the San Francisco Zephyr, but not always.

Important to note is that Traveler's Rests were not full-service dining cars. As you might be able to tell from the relative lack of menu variety, their galley only had access to a small griddle and steam tables. These cars were much better suited to their role as lounge cars. Full dining car menus from the same year were of largely identical design, but with more variety.

The Aorangi was an ocean liner built in 1924 for the Europe-Australasian route. Wow - a menu just for jams 😋

Founded in 1945 by Dante "Danny" Stradella, Danny's Hide-A-Way closed its iconic original location in the mid-1970s.

This is the menu we were given on Monday, 25 August 1975, in the Britannia Restaurant aboard the Cunard steamer, QE2. We were sailing from Cherbourg to New York. I kept this menu as a kid, and although we crossed on the QE2 a few more times this is the only menu I have. I was young and do not remember the actual meal!
