Toast in MDR.

[SDadw01]

Why is the toast served in the MDR at breakfast time never warm ? :confused:

Cos it was probably made at 5am...

If you time it right you may be able to get a new batch,but that probably would not be warm either.

Reminds me of my training in the Navy, at Chatham...hated it by the way....but Sunday roast was always warm /cold so one Sunday we were first in the q....and it was still cold!!!!!!

I think the cookery school was there at the time as well.

Cold roast anyone...that is something I have never had on P and O by the way..cold food that should be hot.

Because it has to come up from the kitchen . I don't like my toast hot, so suits me fine.

Up from the kitchen? Its through the doors where the waiters come and go!

The only time you will get hot toast is if you make it yourself and eat immediately! Like most things in life the toast onboard is not perfect but in my opinion anything someone else cooks for me is great!

Hotels never serve toast hot..... ;)

But we have stayed in hotels that have all manner of wonderful contraptions to do your own toast.

I like the put it on a metal sort of conveyor belt job..disappears into the machine and 1/2 hour later falls out the bottom, not toasted at all, as someone has set it to low, so you turn it up and set the toast off again, and this time it falls out the bottom 1/2 hour later burnt to a cinder , as you turned it up too high...great fun...

Ah! the delights of Premier Inn. I noticed in their newest hotel the control gubbings are on the staff side of the counter ;)

I have experienced these machines they are a bit unreliable but most seem to under cook the bread and you have to do a second run. They also tend to have a notice on them stating that croissants must not be put through the machine.

 

Incidentally croissants on cruise ships seem to be like a small chilly armadillo. I can get a french cuisine croissant from my local shop heat it up and within four minutes have a nice hot croissant of the correct texture and crescent shape. These do not seem to be available on any cruise line.

If you like hot toast it's better to go to the buffet where you can wait for it to be baked then ask the sever to give you some as it comes out of the machine

we often ask for extra thick toast, great with a poached egg, toast is done fresh:)
