Has Creme Brulee really gone from the PG Menu?

[richardukcruise]

Was the menu changed late last year, or has it changed again?

 

The reason I ask is that I found the article below. It appears to tie in with the already discussed amended menu on this forum, but I noticed that they said the dessert menu stayed the same.

 

Does this mean Crème Brulee IS still on?

The Creme Brulee was still on the PG menu in June on the Ryndam. (And it was still delicious!)

It was on the PG menu on the Oosterdam in July!

[richardukcruise]

That's good news. It had been reported on here recently that it had been taken off the menu. It's the only dessert that is gluten free, which is great for anyone with an allergy or intolerance.

Wow, don't scare me like that!

It was available on the Zuiderdam in May

[PathfinderEss]

It was available on the Zaandam in May/June.

I'm quite sure the sorbet is gluten free, as is the fresh fruit plate, and I'm almost certain the ice cream is too, or at least it was a few years ago when I had to check the ingredients label. m--

We are currently on the Westerdam and I am happy to report that we had creme brulee last night in Le Cirque and the three-flavor HAL version Sunday with a regular Pinnacle dinner. Maybe the issue is on certain sailings or vessels?

[SilvertoGold]

On the Zuiderdam Pinancle menu in July.

We liked the Le Cirque creme brulee, as well.

Had the 3 flavor version on the Eurodam in July. It was fantastic!

Someone reported here a while ago that crème brulee was on the "always available" menu for the main dining room.

But some of us mentioned that on cruises we were on that it was not always available every night in the main dining room.

Crème Brule is one of the more poplar desserts, I doubt it will ever disappear from the MDR or PG menu.

I had creme brulee almost every night on our Panama Canal cruise. Yes there are a few other gluten free items but I also can't have most fruits and chocolate. I didn't like their vanilla ice cream. One night I did have cheese cake and they removed the crust.

Those with severe sensitivity or celiac should not eat cheesecake with the crust removed. Most cheesecake recipes call for 1-3 Tablespoons of flour although it can be made without. It is a shame that cruiselines do not venture into more diverse gluten free desserts.

We were on the Eurodam in March and Creme Brulee was on the always available menu. Had it about every night!

The real reason there is no creme brulee - I ate it :D

It was NOT on the PG menu on the Macadam July NE Cruise. Maybe just that one ship/chef combo

True, I can eat the cheesecake as I am sensitive to gluten but not severely. Those who are severely affected by gluten know to be very careful. It is a matter of finding your point of sensitivity.

My understanding is that it will be replaced by Baked Apple Crème Brulee.

 

no gluten issues at all:p

 

It's in line with the new apple pie policy of HAL and the Apple 4 Explore programme http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?p=43681672&posted=1#post43681672 :p:D:p (kidding):p

Creme brûlée was not on the P.G. dessert menu last week on the Amsterdam.

 

Very disappointing.

 

Scott & Karen

[NextOne]

We concur. It was not on the PG menu when we ate last week on the Amsterdam. Others said they thought it was there on other nights. Would they actually switched things up on various nights?

I was also disappointed that Steak Diane wasn't offered anymore, but that may be old news. ...

I don't eat crème brulee but am interested from those who like it......

 

Are the MDR and Pinnacle Grill versions equally as good?

I don't normally like it but had the "3 flavors" and it was great
