Goodbye MDR Food...A Mini Tribute To The Old Menus

[thecruiserofships]

I don't know how you feel or what you think about the new menus, but I am a little disappointed about seeing some of my favorites go away. I have been cruising since 2007 and have been used to seeing the same foods every cruise and now I will miss the food that is going away.

 

I put together a tribute of photos to the old dining room menu on my blog. I tried to compile as many of my food photos as possible to make this tribute, but I probably don't have every single food item included.

My photos are not as good as some others have posted on here, but I hope you will enjoy them anyways. I thought it would be fun to post my dinner favorites as a tribute and make sure you don't get too hungry looking!

 

What food items will you miss the most from the old menus?

Are there any new food items that you are looking forward to trying?

They are great pictures, I hope they don't do away with the Pumpkin soup, it is so good.

[Patty421]

Great pics.

[Catrin]

These are terrific pictures!!!

I will miss quite a few of the desserts.... raspberry chocolate cake, apple tart, and Bitter N Blanc the most!

[cwestbrook]

I will miss all the choices--especially dessert choices.

 

Great post

Hate to say goodbye to Pumpkin Soup!

[deborahjo]

I will miss many of these. I know DH will miss the Chilled Soups. He loved the Cherry Bing Cold Soup,

[JustCruiseMe]

Aww that was sweet of you to do. I definitely understand missing something you like or got used to but hopefully the new menus will have different things you will find that you enjoy!

[krismas_tina]

I will definitely miss the bitter and blanc. And the cheese plate. That was my go-to "dessert" because the wcmc just doesn't do it for me.

My family will miss the chilled fruit soups but I have to say I am intrigued by the new menu options.

At least they will still have lobster!

Thanks for posting these pictures. Was surprised when Bitter N Blanc was removed as I thought that was a popular dessert. As a matter of fact, a lot of my favorite desserts were removed such as the Crème Brulee and Grand Marnier Souffle. Also liked the cheese plate.

Just back from the Dream and kind of was bored with menu. Happy to see changes and hopefully we will enjoy the new additions.

 

Doing the Glory in Feb and we shall see how we like it.

I would miss Tom Ka Gai and pumpkin soups, cheese plate and most of the desserts. Also the sweet and sour shrimp, and the vegetarian entrees.

 

But there is still quite a bit on the new menu that I would like to try.:)

LOL! The size of those lobsters are mainly the size of crawdads. We were disappointed in them on our last cruise. The lobster was pathetic. Yes, I know I could have ordered more but it wasn't worth the wait. Even in the steak house the lobster tail wasn't as big as the one I had ordered on a previous cruise.

[chocolate melting cake]

The food I miss the most was dropped from the menu several years ago---BEEF WELLINGTON.

The lobster may be small but I still think it is good!

Goodbye Bitter and Blanc and Creme Brûlée :(

[Beachlover76]

I'm with you on that, love.....the bitter n blanc

[thecruiserofships]

Does anybody know if you can request fried shrimp any night of the cruise in the MDR?

[paulypride]

I have read that you can still order the cheese plate, its just not going to be on the menu, the same with the shrimp cocktail.

 

I am going to miss the following:

 

-Tempura Shrimp

-Lasanga Bolognase

-Chilled Peach Soup

-Chilled Bing Cherry Soup

-Chilled Strawberry Soup

-Grand Marnier Souflee

-Orange Sherbert

Very often they will do special requests the last night.

[shonuf]

Never cared for the Baked Alaska or cherries jubilee but will miss creme brûlée and Grand Marnier soufflé.

I enjoyed the table side presentation and the flaming before the fire codes changed but yes the crème brulee is also missed:o
