jackdiamond Posted June 26, 2013 #76 Share Posted June 26, 2013 The shortage seems to victimize cruise ships more than land based eateries. Plenty of cans of snails at our local super market and even the local brasserie has had them on their regular menu for as long as I can remember. Escargots Provençale au gratin 5,95 http://lemanoir1.com/menu/regular?lang=en Great photos. Why are the prices lower on Sunday and holiday?

DiamondSuiteCruiser Posted June 26, 2013 #77 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I made escargot in mushroom caps just this past weekend. This is our favorite way to eat them. I slice cheese and place over them. Yummy :D I HAVE noticed that the supermarkets are only carrying cans of tiny ones, not the large ones we used to buy. :( Glenn ~~~~~ Sent using my mobile & Tapatalk This sounds Delish! I will have to try and make this. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
san diego spartan Posted June 26, 2013 #78 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Hate to be the bearer of bad news...On Reflection this month (June 7th-June 17th, 2013), the crab stuffed mushrooms were on the everyday menu in MDR. They were yummy, but I really, really would like to have both the escargot and the mushrooms - a combination plate would be ideal!!!:p Blue Lagoon - thanks for the update. Looks like you are just off Reflection and still no escargot! I do love stuffed mushrooms, especially with crab though. I guess if they had to substitute something, at least it is good.

Rare shipshape sam Posted June 27, 2013 #82 Share Posted June 27, 2013 snail shortage is bogus. It is a $$$ issue. I am sure with the cheap lobster prices, they could sub for escargot with few complaints. Cost of mushrooms, get me a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cost of mushrooms, get me a break. Sorry, but what does this have to do with weather they are offered or not? It is a very simple yes or no question for people that have really sailed on a Celebrity ship in the past few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a very simple yes or no question for people that have really sailed on a Celebrity ship in the past few months. It's a very simple thing. Escargot are not offered much anymore. They are readily available. A decline of product/service. No one who cruises any line wants a decline. :cool: PS They haven't been offered for the last 45 days plus of "X" cruises I have done.

Jane2357 Posted June 27, 2013 #87 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I'm not an escargot fan (dh is) so you all can have mine but is there anyone place - Murano perhaps that serves Foi Gras? Now THAT would make me happy!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pumpkin 11 Posted July 5, 2013 #88 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Just got back from the Equinox and were told by a waiter that they came back a cruise prior to ours (June 22 was our sail date).

bigbenboys Posted July 6, 2013 #91 Share Posted July 6, 2013 We were On the Infinity June 2013. I had the Escargot every night. The stuffed mushrooms are good. The stuffed mushrooms are very filling. I can only eat 6 stuffed mushroom. I can eat 12 Escargot each night. I'm I the reason for the shortage?:eek: Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kikimeister Posted July 6, 2013 #95 Share Posted July 6, 2013 This has me seriously hoping that they will be available on the Summit. Escargot would totally MAKE DH's honeymoon experience awesome (aside from me being there if course) ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
