jsmeeker Posted July 17, 2006 #101 Share Posted July 17, 2006 another vote for raw oysters. I know you may not be able to offer them for the entire duration of a cruise, but just having them available for the early part would be fine. When they are gone, they are gone. I'd love to see fois gras as well. Yum, yum, yum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerryWidow Posted July 20, 2006 #102 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Deep fried hush-puppies(for those of you who dont know who they are, they are kinda like fried cornbread but sweeter and have ral corn kernals in them than covered in powder sugar) If you come to the south, you won't find any of our hushpuppies filled with corn or rolled in sugar... must be a northerner version of our southern cornbread ;) ! I've had cornbread pones with corn kernels or cracklin' added but never rolled in sugar. Down here, hushpuppies are traditionally just fried cornbread balls or 'fingers' with sometimes a tad of sugar added and always served with pork BBQ platters or fried seafood. As for my food wishes... coffee creme brulee, higher quality sauces with the entrees and stronger coffee (available 24 hours)! Just once, I'd like to cruise without a coffee pot, 2 bags of coffee and 10 cans of evaporated milk in tow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deubank Posted July 21, 2006 #103 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Outback's Aussie Cheese Fries would suit my tastebuds just fine! You know the spicy fries with tons of cheese, bacon, and spicy ranch for dipping? Yum! Yum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaTeach Posted July 26, 2006 #104 Share Posted July 26, 2006 MerryWidow, I'm on the same page when it comes to hushpuppies. I am a southern girl, and wouldn't think about eating sweet, hushpuppies. Corn is out but onions in those puppies are a necessity. Oh, the food that I'd like to see and eat more of while on a cruise is non-chocolate cake. I LOVE vanilla, non-bakery tasting cake. YUM!

VampyBuff Posted August 7, 2006 #105 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I'll just act my age and say zeppolis...they're cheap quick and easy to make and it'd be awsome to have them somewhere other than a carnival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soapeaches Posted August 7, 2006 #107 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Could these be some sort of Italian doughnuts? I did a web search and it looks like Emiril has a recipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VampyBuff Posted August 8, 2006 #108 Share Posted August 8, 2006 yup, I dunno if I'm spelling it right but basically it's italian dough fried in oil and then covered with powdered sugar...SOOO GOOOD...and so bad for you, I'm sure. While they're at it they should have fried oreos on the ship as well! LoL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sthitch Posted August 8, 2006 #109 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Foie Gras, served either hot, or as a nice chilled terrine and served with brioche points would make me very happy. Also, I would like more freshly sliced Prosciutto or Serrano, the real stuff not some cryovaced version from Uzbekistan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papadave Posted August 14, 2006 #110 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Well seasoned braised foods -- ragus, stews, etc. that are too time consuming for most home cooks, but improve by sitting on a warm burner in the kitchen for hours and do not need to be served piping hot. My thoughts * a hunter's stew made with root vegetables and venison * braised rabbit with fennel in a port wine reduction * Belgian stew made with beef, beer and prunes * braised pork and sausage served over saurkeraut (there are Polish and Alsacian versions of this dish) * pan roast of oysters Fried foods are not a good choice for banquet style service -- everything cools off and is no longer crisp by the time it reaches the dining room. A tip: order fried foods in a dining room at lunchtime when most food is cooked to order and there aren't that many people eating food ordered off the menu. Green vegetables! I have yet to be on a cruise where green vegetables are more than an afterthought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creeks Posted August 21, 2006 #111 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I would love steamed crab legs that are split down the middle so they are easier to eat. We did have that on Holland America once. I also would like a chocolate fondue, chocolate souffle or flourless chocolate cake. We have had split crab legs and chocolate souffle on Princess ships.....

jobster71 Posted September 13, 2006 #113 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Bourbon chicken is awsome. I just can't get enough of it. It was not on any menu.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cptnkirky Posted September 13, 2006 #114 Share Posted September 13, 2006 For all of you out there looking for the crab legs, good lobster and other seafood items; try out Princess. They have a lot of these items on their menu. Here is a great link of menus that were scanned, check them out. http://grafx.freeservers.com/cruise/cruise.htm For my choices, I would say sticky buns, the greasy pub food, some mexican food (even though my next cruise is to mexico, so I am sure I will get that in port), real Maryland crab cakes, homestyle foods (fried chicken, meatloaf, baked sweet potato, baby back ribs, onion loaf). I know these are not fancy enough for the dining room; but offered on the buffet, room service or in one of the pub areas would be nice. Also, love the perogi and season themed dessert ideas!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have yet to be on a cruise where green vegetables are more than an afterthought. Your thoughts sound fabulous to me! I could eat any of them, i am drooling now! I am a little worried about the green veg now, we love our green veg with most meals, maybe I'll have to request extra sides? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realent Posted October 9, 2006 #116 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Being from the Southwest we usually start craving Mexican food during the cruise. How about a themed Mexican food night with free Margarita's! There is a Midnight Mexican Buffet poolside on the Monarch of the Seas sailing out of LA with a fun dancing disco party!:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realent Posted October 9, 2006 #117 Share Posted October 9, 2006 And my vote would be Alaskan King Crab legs, Good oysters on the half shell and caviar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suezyq50 Posted October 9, 2006 #118 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I vote for sticky cinnamon buns. That is about the only time I would dare eat them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shofer Posted October 9, 2006 #119 Share Posted October 9, 2006 We had hot, sticky, frosted cinnamon buns on Celebrity's Summit. Don't know if they had them every day. Only saw them a few times. We may not have been up early enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
