Pork & beans for breakfast on the S-Class ships, but haven't had it for dinner.

 

Food is a very subjective issue. Personally, I don't have a problem. There's always something to my liking on the menu.

Pork and beans? For dinner in the MDR? Are you sure? I've never seen it on a Celebrity menu.

Never seen it on our seven X cruises. If they serve it, I am sure it is good.

The OP was only using "Pork & Beans" as a funny thread title. :D

No I saw it on a Celebrity Daily chef.s recommendation. But you have eased my mind.

Just got off a B2B on the Reflection and - yes, they had Pork and Beans on the dinner menu. It was definitely not like the Van Camp's Pork and Beans out of the can :) Actually looked quite good and the person eating it said it was good.

We love Celebrities' Bread n Pull-It. It is served only 1 night on a 7 day cruise and we ensure that we do not miss it.

I just had it on the Reflection TA. It was a white bean puree with pork tenderloin. It was pretty good but the pork was a bit overcooked. Not your usual pork and beans, thats for sure.

No green beans....more like Tuscan white beans, as I recall

Thank you! All I could invision was that blob of fat that's always floating at the top of the can.

[Clydesmom7865]

I have never seen it on the menu there but could go for some beenie weenies. Had that for dinner tonight! :D

[neverbeenhere]

blob of fat, NO!!!

 

prosciutto lardo a la chunk.:D

[cruisefreaks]

OH YEAH,

 

It was featured on the Eclipse on the TA. I totally cracked up, the waiter told me it was silced pork loin with white canellini beans. Kind of like a Cassoulet.

 

It was probably delicious, however it was THE joke of the night

 

:D

It was on our Eclipse cruise in March. I couldn't believe it so gave it a try. It was edible, but not anything I would ever order again. It was just completely bland.

When I saw it on the menu I pictured Charlie Chaplin in "The Immigrant" having the waiter serve him a plate of beans for his first meal in the U.S.A.

 

I'm sure it would not be the same on Celebrity. LOL

when you eat pork 'n beans it makes you want to ask somebody to "pull my finger" :D

[ghstudio]

There certainly are a number of pork cuts that could go very well with beans on the side....I don't recall seeing this offered on a ship, but I probably would order it. Could be a very nice pork chop with beans as a side, or pork loin with beans on the side. The name is catchy....but no different than the now renamed "airline chicken" in blu which wasn't a tiny piece of chicken in tasteless sauce that you would get on an airline, but named because the bottom piece of the wing is left on the chicken breast.

Beans, beans the musical fruit

The more you eat the more you toot,

The more you toot the better you feel,

So eat more beans at every meal.

Boy did I kill this thread. That's the last time I share a poem my daughter walks around chanting.

Bean there, done that.

Don't suppose anyone has the recipe for this do they? DH had on it Connie last week and loved it! I believe it was a white bean puree with braised pork tenderloin and pork cheeks.
