All food tastes good then. I like your idea , but rather have some wine or cocktails before during and after dinner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it's opinion. That should go without saying. I agree about RCI. Many people complain about their food but I've had wonderful meals on RCI and I think they have some great specialty restaurants. I wish I could say the same about NCL. I loved their Waterfront venues on Escape and we did enjoy the food at La Cucina but to me, the rest of the food just did not measure up to the other lines.

clo Posted October 14, 2019 #34 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Since I'm really 'into' food, both cooking and dining out, I've been thinking about this. Plus I watched a bit of a video with food in it. I think, for me anyway, a lot of the difference between best and worst is if it's overcooked. It could be a steak or broccoli - don't overcook it.

Over the last 65 plus years I have dined out more times than I can count. I also did restaurant reviews many years ago for a newspaper.I believe that I am a good judge of food.However,I have been to restaurants that are highly rated and I did not like the food and to restaurants poorly rated where I loved the food.

We'd have never married had we had THAT incompatibility 🙂 But hopefully you don't like overcooked vegetables. I grew up in the Southern US and never saw a bright green vegetable til I moved to SF in my late 20s. When a restaurant serves them over cooked I just don't eat them. But if what ought to be rare isn't then I send it back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've mentioned I'm on a food site and we 'talk' about this kind of stuff 🙂 Completetely off topic but interesting,at least I think so.About 25 years ago,the NY Daily News posed a question to its readers.If Casablanca was to be recast whom would you choose for the Bogart and Bergman roles.My picks were Howard Stern and Meryl Streep. i was awarded second place and the newspaper sent a crew to my office to interview and film me.I also received a VHS gold copy of the film which I still have and never opened it.

Me and my partner are very much like this. She hates sport, I watch it all the time, so many sports. I love my music, she hates it. I hate her music, all of it. She is nice.😉 She would love formal nights, if they werent quite so formal, if she thought I wouldnt hate them so much, she loves the Royal family, I would wipe them out. Neither of us are religious, but she could be swayed, I could never be. Brexit. We both agree on Brexit. Or rather we both agree its a stupid idea.
