kwilzz13 Posted December 21, 2017 #1 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Sailed Harmony 12/9/17. Me and some buddies had lunch on embarkation day in Windjammer. I happened to notice the shapes of the nuggets. Definitely are the same as those served at Wendy's. They also taste the same. Let me be clear, I'm not complaining, I'm just wondering if anyone else noticed this? Don't know if its fleetwide, but is RCI in cohoots with Wendy's. That would be great!!

No but really, never know as Food supply company could be the same, but would have to be slightly different recipe as sure couldn't be exactly the same as Wendy's.

LizzyDragon Posted December 21, 2017 #3 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I’m guessing Wendy’s and RCI are using the same chicken nugget supplier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb at sea Posted December 21, 2017 #7 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I've never bought "nuggets" from Wendy's....but I guess it's possible! Not really a "nugget" eater! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starrcards Posted December 21, 2017 #8 Share Posted December 21, 2017 That's an interesting nugget of .information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somerandomidiot Posted December 22, 2017 #9 Share Posted December 22, 2017 There seems to be at least three types of them when you order from the kids menu in the MDR. The processed fast food kind of nugget is rare. I think I'm 3 for 15 on those. It's mostly the large chicken finger type strips of fried chicken breast that they serve me. There's also one kind where it's smaller chunks of chicken breast. I like the fast food style nuggets the best but don't get them often. The waiters don't understand what I mean when I ask them about the type of nugget being served that night. I just get a confused look when I tell them I only want them if it's the fast food kind of nugget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagsfan Posted December 22, 2017 #10 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I've never bought "nuggets" from Wendy's....but I guess it's possible! Not really a "nugget" eater! I was agreeably surprised at how good Wendy's nuggets are. I would never order nuggets because the various nuggets I've tasted in the past were awful. Wendy's nuggets came in their 4 for 4 deal and they're really good! If Windjammer can make theirs have the taste and texture of Wendy's, I'm willing to try lunch there.

LizzyDragon Posted December 22, 2017 #12 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Looks like Wendy's major chicken supplier is Perdue: http://www.squaredealblog.com/homewendys/2017/10/23/wendys-celebrates-supplier-excellence-with-annual-golden-link-awards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonTheRadioGuy Posted December 22, 2017 #13 Share Posted December 22, 2017 The primary food supplier for Royal Caribbean, and most cruise lines, departing from Florida ports is Gordon Food Services. I don't think GFS supplies to Wendy's, but it IS possible the company that makes the nuggets does so for both GFS and Wendy's. It could be Perdue, or someone else that uses Perdue chicken. People would be shocked how many restaurants all sell the same product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by the cardboard taste of mist fast food restaurants' nuggets, Wendy's doesn't sell the same product.

waterbug123 Posted December 23, 2017 #16 Share Posted December 23, 2017 is RCI in cohoots with Wendy's. That would be great!! Yes, by all means....let's have more highly processed food, full of sugar and chemical additives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if you are ever at the port early enough, you’ll see their trucks when they stage replenishment. Why do you ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gatour Posted December 23, 2017 #24 Share Posted December 23, 2017 If you want background on the the food distribution/restaurant industry, subscribe to National Restaurant News Basically there are several categories. 1. Broadband Distributors: They pretty much cover soup to nuts, literally, including paper goods, goods etc. Sysco is one of the biggest. 2. Semi specialty Distributors Meats and seafood/Just Meats/Just seafood/Just Vegetables/Fruits 3. Producers: The companies that actually "manufacture food stuffs. And example of this is Simplot. What is Simplot? They do potatoes what is their claim to fame? McDonalds. As McDonalds grew up over the years, so did Simplot, as they were McDonalds primary french fry provider. However they know provide french fry's (among other products) to other companies. Let's just say there is some proprietary formulations for certain companies but there is also some cross-fertilization. I.E. the basic chicken nugget could be the same between Wendy's and RCCL, but the breading applied to each could be slightly different. It could be as simple increasing a particular seasoning by a midge for one company than the other. If the "new" company approves the taste profile, the supplier company could look at both companies and say with a straight face that each had a unique property.
