26 days to go... MDR Favorites and GO

[momof4_tn]

We debark in 26 days on Freedom of the Seas. I'm super bored. I've read all the reviews I can find. So, I thought I'd see if we could get a decent thread/conversation going. We are doing a cruise in October and February. Since these two are so close, I want to try some new dishes in the MDR.

 

We all have our favorites, and for me I stick to what I know I enjoy. So, here's you chance to share your favorites for me and any others who are interested.

 

What are your Top 2 Appetizers?

 

And Top 2 Entrees ?

One correction here - you're embarking in 26 days. You debark (or disembark) when you leave the ship.

 

Now onto my favorites

 

Top 2 Appetizers:

Toasted Farro and Lamb Broth

Hot Harira Soup

 

Top 2 Entrees:

Carved Filet of Beef Tenderloin

Key Lime Pie

Sticky Bread and Butter Pudding

It's been a few years since we've cruised but escargot and flourless chocolate cake are my favorites. Can't think of any entree that I care so much about.

Something about your comment gives me pleasure...

I had it twice on our last cruise. First time was perfect (other than too much for me) the second time, it wasn't set right and the sugar didn't get a brûlée...

Horseradish encrusted salmon

 

Chocolate praline bar ( only available in MDR at lunch)

[Sherri914]

Favorites include:

 

Chilled Soups (most of them)

Rosemary Lamb Shank

Bread & Butter Pudding

 

On previous cruises, I tended to go for what I knew (or thought would be safe). This coming November, my goal is to try new foods. I hope this thread gives me some ideas of things to try. :)

I'm curious about this salmon. I love salmon, but I do not care for horseradish at all. Is the horseradish extremely evident in the flavor??

[LilBlackDress]

I love salmon too... But I also like horseradish. For me, It wasn't a strong horseradish taste.

Rosemary Lamb Shank to me is the very best meal of the week. I also really enjoy the duck. Love my shrimp cocktail, escargot, chilled fruit soups, bread etc. I try and order entrees I dont normally get on land. Key lime pie for dessert.

 

Everything Ive tried has generally been very satisfying. The lasagna bolognese was one of the worst meals Ive had on land or sea though. Not a fan. :o They GLADLY brought me something else. Thats what I love about cruise dining :)
