Eight things to never eat on a cruise ship

[ConnecticutFlamingo]

Any one of these foods can also be related to any restaurant. So if you believe this, only eat at home and grow your own.

This article seems to be more about calories than actual valuable information on food safety' date=' especially the part about beef and bacteria. The reason it is safe to eat a steak rare, but not a hamburger, is because the bacteria only forms on the cut edges of the meat. Therefore, as long as a steak is cooked to a certain temperature on the outside you're likely safe, whereas hamburger, being ground, has cut edges on the inside, so if it is not consumed either very quickly after being ground or cooked to at least medium-well (no pink) it can be harbour some bacteria.[/quote']

 

What is so funny about this article is if you follow the link in the article for beef, it takes you to a USDA website which discusses exactly the same points you made. IOW, the author just grabbed a headline without understanding the information.

 

Which by the way only reinforces a survey I read in the WSJ about 15 years ago which rated various college majors. Journalism was the 2nd lowest rating on the difficulty of the curriculum and the SAT and grade points of incoming students.

 

Remember that the next time you're listening to the network news.

The pictures look so delicious, now I'm craving lobster and steak shish kebabs from a cruise ship.

 

 

I'm with you. The pictures look yummy. [emoji3]

But I thought the article said not to eat the sauce :D:p:confused:

Simple answer is anything in moderation, a mixed diet involving items which are seen as booth good and bad and most people will be fine. What amazes me at times while cruising is the actual amount that people eat. People watching at the buffet at lunchtime I've seen plates of food with enough on them to feed our whole family for a full day.

I guess the cruise lines should save on fresh produce and lean protein and just serve processed, out of the box foods, Kraft mac & cheese, Dinty Moore Beef Stew, etc. I am sure there are more but since I don't buy box foods I can't think of any.

 

Don't forget the SPAM!!!

[GUT2407]

Don't forget the SPAM!!!

 

But should I have

 

SPAM and SPAM

 

Or

 

spam, spam, spam And spam.

[Texed]

Well, at least avoiding waffles was not on the list. ;)

[KiwiGal117]

That is the dumbest article ever. So you should ONLY avoid those things on a cruise ship, not anywhere else?? That's if you were going to anyway. I hope the author didn't get paid much for that drivel.

Due to the recent cutbacks Spam is being served only in the Luminae dining room!!!!!!

This is just another in a long succession of articles written by people who cannot stand to see others enjoying themselves and who also want, ultimately, to control our lives. In the USA over the years various "Centers for the Control of Everything" have published articles denouncing Italian, French, Chinese, Thai cuisines ad infinitum. I've been eating all of them for more years than I care to remember and I'm still here writing about it. Stay out of my life, Control Freaks and Big Government. I can take care of myself and so can most other people. There, I feel much better :)

 

And then there's the "Food Babe" who loves to talk about chemicals in food. Of course there are chemicals in food, Einstein, and you can find each and every one of them on the periodic table. Even if you're just drinking water you're drinking two chemicals, H (to the power of two, sorry if this confuses you, Food Babe) & O!! Sheesh...

Ever since my wife worked in a canning factory as a teen, she absolutely refuses to eat canned vegetables, especially creamed corn. :eek:

 

 

I understand. I toured a marachanio cherry factory once. I will never, ever eat one of those. Watching the process made me gag.

You're not supposed to watch how they make the sausage. :eek:

[floridatravelersforlife]

I didn't laugh at all while reading it.......I think the writer is just

stupid:rolleyes:......just my opinion.

 

Ditto

 

When I went to college as a Engineering student, English majors were not held in high regard. Guess who writes most of these media articles?

i'm not quite sure if you're being serious:o ? If you are, PLEASE tell me what goes into making a maraschino cherry. I'm dying to know.

[jayoldschool]

Doesn't seem bad to me. I can think of much worse...

The War Department (a.k.a. Mrs. B) has come up with the path for our salvation.

 

We are booked on the upcoming Silhouette TA cruise leaving Rome on October 31st. We will pack and bring along with us two jars of peanut butter and one jar of jelly!!!!!!

 

I'm on that cruise so I can't wait to see that !:D:D

 

Fortunately the two jars of peanut butter will have to go in checked luggage. It most certainly would not last until we cleared the ADIZ on our flight to Rome if the War Department could get her hands on it.

 

Everyone out there have a great day.

:D:p:D

Of course things could be worse....you could be on a cruise and that writer could be your tablemate.

 

Or worse still....he/she could be your dinner date.

...or even worse he/she could be the head Chef.
