Can you think of a better way to learn than through food? The SS Great Britain has stepped up its immersive experience on board and is offering a new exhibition exploring foods of the world during the summer holidays.
The historic ship designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel is known as the smelliest museum in Britain in modern times, and this summer, they are adding taste to the sensory experience. 'Dishes of Discovery' is a new exhibition that explores some of the flavours the SS Great Britain would have encountered during its voyages between 1845 to 1886.
Until September 4, visitors who climb aboard will taste historic 19th-century recipes from Mumbai, Cape Town and Crimea - discovering how the SS Great Britain connected people and places around the world. The dishes created include a coriander and coconut chutney, a melon jam and a traditional borsch - flavours characteristic of those that passengers from Britain would have tried for the very first time.
