Carnival Biscuits

[Tithonus]

Just say no, to biscuits.

I don't think real southern grits would have a Kraft single melted on top. BTW, I've had biscuits and grits on Carnival and think they're not bad at all. Real homemade southern biscuits are not that easy to make. I've tried my Mom's, grandmother's and great grandmother's biscuit recipes and they always suck. I think it's my technique.

 

You have to practice to produce good biscuits.

 

But, those grits with the cheese slice and the green thing :eek:.

 

I want my grits plain with salt and pepper.

 

And what is that GREEN THING anyway!

 

(okay, I see now that Sarge has identified the green thing as a pepper. So now my question is just why?)

 

I'm glad Elation still has the non-brunch menu with the unadulterated grits :)

The Punchliner Brunch is Mexican Themed.

 

Plain Grits are also available. :)

Try the cheese girts at the brunch, I think they are awesome. :)

 

 

 

Those do look yummy. I haven't been on a cruise with the brunch yet. I usually get them from the dining room or buffet and have to doctor them up with salt/pepper/butter/cheese.

Thanks for sharing the photo. I have never seen biscuits on any of my cruises. I'll just keep looking and maybe one day they will show up.:D I'm glad to know they do exist.

A ricochet biscuit? If it don't bounce back, you go hungry!

 

A combination omelette, bacon and a ricochet biscuit with sugar free jam. Now that would be an interesting request for breakfast in the dining room...

 

What do you want for nothing? :D

A buttermilk biscuit, buttered of course, with cane syrup(or as real southerners call it sorghum syrup) doesn't get any better.

LOL....love it!! ;) :D

We have requested biscuits and gravy on our comment card before. Never have seen either on a cruise. We have biscuits and sausage gravy at least 1-2x a month.

This real southerner would call it Steen's.

 

I might have to pick up a small bottle to take to England. Works good on pancakes and waffles.

Oh, okay.

I thought for a moment that it might have been a slice of sweet pickle.

Thanks.

 

DH just looked at this picture.

He is also glad that Elation does not have brunch.:)

Cane syrup?

 

I have never even heard it called sorghum syrup, just plain sorghum.

But I have to say that I have not acquired the taste.

I think for the most part Carnival and other ships do their best to cater to tastes of various cultures. But in doing so, sometimes something is lost in translation. I have had the biscuits, by themselves they were a little hard, but after I covered in gravy they were just fine. Grits are a story to themselves, some like butter and salt, some sugar, some cheese. I fall into the cheese camp, so I liked the cheese grits at the brunch.

You must not have been raised in the South. Sugar Cane is boiled down for hours until it becomes cane syrup. There are entire festivals around the making of cane syrup.

I won't tempt him with the steak and eggs you can get at the brunch. ;)

 

I do like that New Orleans has Elation and Conquest so you have a choice or just alternate between them for variety.

Sorghum syrup comes from the sorghum plant.

 

Cane syrup and molasses come from sugar cane.

 

Much of the processing is similar. Both are southern.

 

For that matter, maple syrup is also made by boiling juice down.

Grits? It looks like cream of wheat with American cheese.

Either way something that isn't enjoyed at breakfast:rolleyes:.

What's wrong with you? Were you a Yankee in another life? :p:D

 

But you're right. You probably don't want to try them. You'd like them and end up asking yourself what took so long. And perhaps even kicking yourself. :D

Apple Butter goes well too...but nothing like crumbling up my biscuit and drowning it in gravy...no sausage for me (allergic to it)

 

My Grandma made the best biscuits in the world. I wish if I had known that the last batch of biscuits she made for me were going to be the last, I would have sat there and savored every tiny little crumb. Grandma's biscuits and gravy were the best I've ever had.

 

I'm getting better at making my own biscuits, and now I have her biscuit pan. But oh, I wish I could have one more biscuit of hers. I miss her.

Yeah.

Biscuits are something that needs practice for them to be exceptional.

I bet your grandmother made a lot of biscuits in her time.

I would like another chance for a plate of my mother's biscuits and white bacon gravy.
