Rare LHT28 Posted December 15, 2019 #1 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Ok we are not foodies but wonder if this is normal or maybe something upscale places do? I had salmon filet (like on O on the always available) but it came with sauerkraut on top ..never had seen this done before with salmon second question does anyone know or remember if O serves meatloaf on their menu? We were trying to remember if we had seen it before on O or not we are getting old & forgetful 😉 TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were trying to remember if we had seen it before on O or not we are getting old & forgetful 😉 TIA Neither of us particularly cares for 'cooked' salmon so I'll leave that for others. I'd ask for it to be left off. I was about to say we haven't seen meatloaf but have to confess that we haven't eaten in the GDR. But don't remember it in Terrace Cafe'.

Cruseforme Posted December 15, 2019 #3 Share Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) We saw the salmon with sauerkraut in Germany many times while we were there, but haven’t seen it on a cruise., and have never seen it served in the US. I don’t eat salmon however, so don’t pay attn to it as much as other things on menus. As far as the meatloaf, last Christmas I believe the Riviera had it at Terrace over on the side where the potatoes and stuff is, but don’t remember it in any other venues. Keep in mind that was before the “new” menues. Edited December 15, 2019 by Cruseforme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I've seen meatloaf once in awhile. Edited December 15, 2019 by Flatbush Flyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't pretend to be an expert, but the choucroute I've seen is made with heavy salted meats...mostly pork including ribs, sausage, ham, etc. I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around what choucroute made with salmon or any other fish might taste like. Here's a Jacques Pepin choucroute recipe from a number of years ago, and it has what I would consider traditional ingredients. https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/choucroute-garnie Edited December 16, 2019 by njhorseman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawaiidan Posted December 16, 2019 #9 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Are you sure it was sauerkraut? Could it have been a sea grass or sea weed? It can look like cabbage... Just asking These are getting uses with fish to compliment its oceanic origin...... Goes along with why many "brine" poultry and fish. Japanese influence and French novel Sea weeds ( lots of different textures are out there)are getting popular as a healthy vegetable / and garnish with the gard.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mura Posted December 16, 2019 #10 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I'll add in to "I never saw sauerkraut on salmon"! Anywhere ... sure, charcroute and etc. dishes, it's not at all unusual. I even like it. There. As to meatloaf on O ... I don't remember ever seeing that ... but that could be because I didn't order it on O. I make it frequently at home ... but it's not a dish I would normally order on board a cruise ship. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dhsamso Posted December 16, 2019 #15 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Is the chef Alsatian? Once in Paris, we went to an Alsatian restaurant the specialized in choucroute. You could get any type of meat or sausage or seafood or fish with an enormous pile of very good choucroute so maybe some people do like it with fish or shellfish too. DH would be happy to see Meatloaf or Liver and onions on a menu at sea for a change of pace even though I see those items as diner food. Tell us what else they offer if it is something different.

(as my cholesterol count could verify.). NO fish of any sort with Kraut.. Even at Le Alcheme....the cutting edge in Kaiserberg... (Jerome Jagel) they did not .

I am sure it was there when we were on Symphony in early fall, but hmmmmmmm, I agree, not something I would have guessed on the menu. And yes I agree from another post...Crystal’s CC board can be brutal. DH posted on there a couple of times and decided it would be better to just lurk!!!
