meggie711 Posted August 21, 2012 #27 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I'm not sure about food as it is now on NCL, as my first NCL cruise will be next year. I'm allergic to shellfish, and get frustrated in restaurants when everything that sounds good also has to include a crab stuffing or scallops and shrimp. I'd love to try the yummy dishes but it's not worth an allergic reaction, and also not worth the trouble of seeing if they can adjust the recipe via special request. In addition, sushi bars can be scary for me because I don't always get someone who can tell me for sure that a particular kind of sushi does or does not have any shellfish included. I wish there was a section clearly labelled shellfish-free. :) Not wanting special treatment, just wishful thinking to make buffets and such a little less intimidating. Regarding the "plain cake" that someone else mentioned.. I'd never heard of it before, until my husband's great grandmother was on her deathbed. She was around 95 years old and had been saying funny things and telling stories, but would also hallucinate. She was laying in her hospital bed and asked me to go to the oven and check the cake. I played along and asked "What cake?" She told me that she baked a cake. I asked her what kind, and she said "plain cake". I asked what plain cake was, thinking she was just talking crazy. She looked at ME like I was nuts and shook her head. My husband's family then told me about plain cake, and that not all always had a flavoring, icing, etc. I'm sorry, completely sidetracked, but your comment brought back a sweet memory. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guindalf Posted August 21, 2012 #28 Share Posted August 21, 2012 More widely available Indian food! Pillau Rice, naan bread and a little more spice or at least the option to add heat. You can keep the veggie option, I want meat in my curry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coffeebean Posted August 21, 2012 #30 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I don't see Creme Brulee anymore and would love to have that back. I'd also like to see a fried chicken with mashed potato & gravy entree. Are you referring to the main dining rooms or Cagney's and Le Bistro? I know those two specialty restaurants have had Creme Brulee since we started sailing NCL in 2001. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffeebean Posted August 21, 2012 #31 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I would like to see all deserts made without gelatin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffeebean Posted August 21, 2012 #32 Share Posted August 21, 2012 ... Stevia as a natural sweetener. Excellent suggestion. I prefer this natural sweetener than the chemicals that comprise the pink, yellow and blue sweeteners. I don't see the green anywhere so I carry my own everywhere I go. It is always in my purse.

coffeebean Posted August 21, 2012 #33 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Chocolate molten cake like Carnival's staple desert which they offer every night in the main dining room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twelvevman Posted August 21, 2012 #34 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Would love to see a veal dish...marsala, parm, saltimboca on the menu. And most importantly, dump Pepsi and bring Coke back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rondb Posted August 21, 2012 #35 Share Posted August 21, 2012 How about Maine lobster on the Dawn since it leaves from Boston in the summertime. Frozen Caribbean Rock lobster is just not the same. Coke products too. Just my 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGP1111 Posted August 21, 2012 #36 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Fried Chicken and Waffels together Creme brulee Authetic flan Banana Split Chicken and Waffles - Yum! . I actually had to laugh when reading this just now. The "chicken & waffles" idea was brought up for discussion in our staff meeting this morning, and most of us had never heard of that combo. I will admit to making a bit of an Urp noise myself. Now here I am reading it again. Perhaps I'll have to give it a try rather than stick with my original "Eww" thought. :) .

Hopes4 Posted August 21, 2012 #37 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Would love to see a veal dish...marsala, parm, saltimboca on the menu. Considering the price of veal I doubt we would see it without an upcharge. (hint hint NCL) Luckily, I make all three of those dishes at home, although usually with chicken. Saltimbocca is my fave! :) And most importantly, dump Pepsi and bring Coke back. No, no, no, no, no! lol Whoever said naan, Im with you on that too.

family cruisers Posted August 21, 2012 #39 Share Posted August 21, 2012 please don't laugh. CHOCOLATE CREAM PIE WITH FRESH WHIPPED CREAM! A few years back on the crown they had it once, only once and never to be seen again. It was the BEST I've ever had, it had that great chocolate flavor. Had I have known it was the only one they'd put out all week, I'd have eaten that whole pie myself and paid the price later :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fabby50 Posted August 21, 2012 #42 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I just wish they'd do more "regional favorites". Like if you're in the Caribbean, have a Caribbean night in the main dining room, Mexican food in Mexico, Hawaiian food in Hawaii, etc. I know they sometimes have a Mexican buffet, but I would like to see a menu with regional items with little blurbs about the ingredients and origins of the dish served in a restaurant setting. And the Mexican food served on the buffets is not really Mexican food - how about a mole or pisole or tamales? I also agree about the deserts - they are generally horrible, I think because they make most things with gelatin so they can sit for a long time.

palmyrafan Posted August 21, 2012 #43 Share Posted August 21, 2012 DH is requesting Coke products instead / as well as Pepsi and Oysters on the 1/2 shell. Tiramisu (that's not soggy) Creme Brulee Banana Creme Pie Carrot Cake (made right and to die for) More seafood choices (like Calamari) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby459 Posted August 21, 2012 #44 Share Posted August 21, 2012 1. Cold soups in the main dining room/not just the buffet. 2. Shrimp cocktail appetizers in the main dining rooms. 3. Hot fudge sundae. 4. Fried chicken. 5. Coke products instead of Pepsi. 6. Popcorn in the evenings. 7. One or two nights/week with local food preparation as a choice in the main dining room.

gatime Posted August 21, 2012 #45 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Would like to see better desserts in main dinning room. I don't care what it is as long as it taste good! Fried chicken sounds good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gizmo911 Posted August 22, 2012 #47 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Oh yes, pls try. There is a version of this at IHOP but it does not equal the way I had them years ago. I had them in NYC in harlem. After a night out in the clubs, everyone would be looking for either breakfast or dinner. The place that accomodated was called "Wells Chicken and Waffels". 20 years later, they are still there under different ownership of cours. If you like fried chicken and you like waffels, you should enjoy the combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
