bjm07 Posted June 24, 2012 #1 Share Posted June 24, 2012 A while ago on this board, there was discussion about the discontinuation of escargot in the dining room. It seemed that the problem was one of supply, from what I understood. Did the situation get resolved? Can we look forward to our much enjoyed escargot on our upcoming cruise on a Millennium class ship? Thanks for any information. (Hope this doesn't turn into a dress code discussion - lol.)

CathyCruises Posted June 24, 2012 #2 Share Posted June 24, 2012 There weren't any on our April cruise but they made clever use of the escargot serving dishes by filling the little holes with stuffed mushrooms. I daresay they're a bit cheaper than the delicacies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelbug2225 Posted June 24, 2012 #3 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I was on Solstice on May 23 mediteranian cruise. I did asked our server around day 5th and she said it was not available. But it did show up on the menu on last 3 nights for dinner. I am not sure if they offer but only limited number of nights per cruise or it available every night now.

Rare uktog Posted June 24, 2012 #5 Share Posted June 24, 2012 On Summit three weeks ago the Exec Chef said he did not expect Escargot supplies to be sufficient for them to appear on the menu each night until the Autumn but he did expect to be offering a different starter involving escargot once a cruise very soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reginab1979 Posted June 24, 2012 #6 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Also while on Summit in May, we asked the Officer in charge of ordering everything for the entire ship about the escargot "issue". Apparently the source they usually ordered escargot from has pretty much run out because of a climate and weather changes in those parts of the world. Celebrity is exploring other parts of the world to purchase escargot but until that happens they are not being offered across the board in the MDR like they used to. I suppose it's a supply & demand problem. Too much demand and too little supply = very high price. Gail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coloradohawk Posted June 24, 2012 #7 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Along that same line, what about the chilled soups? They used to be offered every night in the MDR and I'm hearing that they are not available very. Often if at all. Any updates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phxazzcruisers Posted June 24, 2012 #8 Share Posted June 24, 2012 There was a hot and cold soup offered every night on our last two cruises aboard Millennium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
besberry Posted June 24, 2012 #9 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Just got back from a Baltic cruise with Royal and we had escargots. Maybe they've started breeding again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkystheLimit Posted June 24, 2012 #10 Share Posted June 24, 2012 We had escargot in Blu on the Equinox in May. A couple of chilled soups as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Sixth? Posted June 24, 2012 #11 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Century May 27 - June 3rd and asked for them and was told no way. Was offered a paste of some seafood thingy that was awful... told that it was waht passengers wanted because there was more of it. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wine-O Posted June 24, 2012 #12 Share Posted June 24, 2012 We had escargot in Blu on the Equinox in May. A couple of chilled soups as well. Do they still have the soup with the blue point oyster at the bottom? Had it in 2009, but don't recall if it was cold or warm soup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what the name of it was on the menu, but I was pleasantly surprised to see an actual oyster at the bottom. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

librarylady19 Posted June 25, 2012 #17 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Wonder if they have the escargot fritters in Blu. It was DHs favorite dish there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukesailor Posted June 25, 2012 #18 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Do you realize how long it takes to round up a herd of snails? And the drive to market can take weeks! They're not as fast as cattle, you know. And then there's the awful snail stampede!! It can go for yards before they settle down. People could get slimed! :D:D:D Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjm07 Posted June 25, 2012 Author #20 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Well, that's it then. Maybe some. Thanks to all for your informative and entertaining comments. We'll let you know what we find when we return July 22nd. Of course, I'm not going to tell my husband that he may not be able to have his escargot every evening. He'll just have to make do with an extra specialty coffee. Regards to all, Barbara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wahlct Posted June 25, 2012 #21 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Just got off Century today. Only escargot was in Murano. The MDR served crab stuffed mushrooms every night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24butterfly Posted June 25, 2012 #22 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Will try to let you know of the escargot when we get back (Equinox) late July...... I know where the supply went! Back in November--I swear this is true--I went to the .99 cent store, and they had CASES (ok, 2 cases) of CANNED escargot.....So I bought 1 can....And made it w/garlic/butter......2 days later I went back to get some more cans, AND THEY WERE GONE!!!

jjl64 Posted June 25, 2012 #24 Share Posted June 25, 2012 We are just off of the 6/17 Summit sailing to Bermuda and the head chef said the escargot will be available again for the 5/24 sailing. Missed it by a week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onecrazymomof2 Posted June 25, 2012 #25 Share Posted June 25, 2012 we just got back from a Baltic cruise on the Constellation and my two boys probably caused the escargot supply issue themselves! They were on the menu each night, so each night my boys had them. They were very delicious! I hope they left some for those on the next cruise. :) Hope you get yours as well!
