valleyvillage Posted December 20, 2012 #1 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I miss the President's Dinner! I think the chef at the time had worked at the White House and these were from his tenure there. My favorite was the Floating Islands dessert. President Reagan would always ask for a "goodly portion" and I always ordered two! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even miss the Cooking Light selections that used to be on the menus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaldosPepper Posted December 21, 2012 #4 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I miss several items from those menus, but the one I miss the most is the Hearts of Palm salad. It was divine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapoho2 Posted December 21, 2012 #5 Share Posted December 21, 2012 We also miss the President's Dinner. Loved the little captions on the menus telling the story behind each dish. I also have fond memories of the Floating Islands dessert and ordered it each time. We still talk about that menu on each cruise we take. Maybe someday that menu will return.

WaldosPepper Posted December 21, 2012 #7 Share Posted December 21, 2012 What exactly is this Floating Islands Dessert that you speak of? :o Floating Islands is a dessert. The base is a very creamy (somewhat soupy) custard, and it's topped with meringue islands floating in it. It's divine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
