New MSC Menu for the American Market

[Fla Mike]

Since there seems to be a lot of folks who think MSC food does not cater to the American Palette, here is a tongue-in cheek look at the new MSC menu for the American market.

 

Feel free to add your own.

 

Beginnings

Fried Pickles

Pork Rinds

Campbell's® Chicken and Stars Soup

 

Entrees

Hamburger Helper® Lasagna Flavor

Spaghettios® with Meatballs

Salami on Wonder Bread®

 

Sides

Fried Pickles

Pork Rinds

Loaded Cheese Fries

 

Dessert

Jello® Puddin’ Pops

Twinkies®

 

May we suggest a nice cold can of Mountain Dew® or Red Bull®

Forgot the screaming hot Cheetos 😁 

When I go on vacation (cruise, Vegas, Disney) food is a big part of my experience. At home, I'm not a very adventurous eater, but when I'm on a trip, I love to try new and different food. Have I loved everything I've eaten on MSC? No, of course not. The waiters have no problem bringing something else for you to try. Folks seem to think that everything should be perfect, 100% of the time. Maybe people just need to relax, go with the flow and just try to enjoy life 😊 Let the flaming begin 😂🔥🔥🔥

This is why I quit sailing on Carnival.  When they thought it was a great idea to put Fried Chicken, Meatloaf, etc on the MDR menu, walked with our wallet. No thank you! I can get that at home or the local Golden Corral. We actually LOVE MSC's menus in the MDR and their buffet food.

Mike all they’d have to do is have McDonalds and Taco Bell as 2 of their “specialty” restaurants and they’d fill the ships 😬

I can truthfully say it has been over 20 years since we have eaten at a McDonald's or a Taco Bell and I am pretty sure we wouldn't eat it on a ship.  I do agree with you though, it would fill the ships.  🤮

Same here! I can’t remember the last time going to McDonalds and never been to Taco Bell. 

Although McDonalds will always hold a sentimental place in my heart as DH and I met there waaaay back in 1981. We met working there weekends while in HS lol

Fixed it for you. 😉

[caffeine_demon]

what about:

 

PB & J sandwich

Deep pan pizza with enough cheese to drown a toddler

Oreos and milk

Macaroni cheese (with enough cheese to drown a zoo)

?

[Homosassa]

Pizza now made by Domino's.

 

A sack of sugar added to all tomato sauces made on board.

 

As for the fix made by no 1 talks to the menu entry of salami on Wonder bread, we need to make sure the sausage is the sliced leathery pepperoni so beloved by many.

 

GRITS!!!!

 

Please MSC, never listen to those US cruisers who try MSC and whine that MSC isn't just like their limited travel experience on a line where everything is "just like home."

 

Some of us travel to not be home and to enjoy new experiences.

Let's not forget that everything either needs to be deep fried or cooked in a vat of butter, and there is no al dente for the pasta...cook it until it falls apart!  And the mac n cheese...make sure it is made out of cheese powder from a cardboard box!

 

And the portion size...none of this "tasting sized" nonsense...Every plate should have enough for 3 meals on it!

The buffet stations can be replaced with a wall of microwaves where a delicious selection of Swanson Hungry Man Dinners await

Don't forget for the menu to be an American favorite, it must include Campbell's Tomato Soup and a Grilled Cheese Sandwich made with Velveeta.

Perfect - the Velveeta can also be used on the pizza. The Velveeta will set off the thick crust soaked by the overabundance of sweetened tomato sauce and liberally sprinkled with dried oregano that will be the new "American" style pizza.

"Surprise the whole table when you serve this scrumptious VELVEETA® Spicy Cheeseburger Pizza. This VELVEETA® Spicy Cheeseburger Pizza is a tasty trifecta of your favorite taco, cheeseburger and pizza flavors."

 

It's gotta be good for you...it has lettuce on it

A perfect option for when you don't  want the pizza on a stiff cracker style crust topped with BBQ sauce, pineapple and ham [options include MacDonald's McRibs, deep fried chicken nuggets, sliced tofu hot dogs or sliced hot dogs (meat unknown)].

OMG - I just googled this and found out it actually is a recipe available on the internet. 🤮

You guys are seriously frightening me!  This afternoon I innocently closed my eyes for a few minutes, and I had a vision of the buffet and MDR of the future.  

Buffet is all franchise stalls:  IHOP, McDonalds, Wendy's, KFC, Subway, Arby's, and for the fans of Italian food, Domino's AND Pizza Hut.  All items are wrapped and ready to carry....somewhere.

MDR has table service, but one must choose a menu.  Options include Cracker Barrel, Bob Evans, Panda Express, Taco Bell, Chipotle, and Bob's Big Boy.  MSC's feature menu is, of course, Olive Garden.

Extra-charge menus include Red Lobster and PF Chang's.
