lenquixote66 Posted February 1, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 1, 2023 For some reason I never ate lobster.On a cruise about 10 years ago there were many variations of lobster on the menu.My table mates could not believe that I never ate lobster. I tried and liked everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipgeeks Posted February 1, 2023 #2 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Before I started cruising on ships that actually had a variety of foods available(!), I had only occasionally had an Indian dish at one restaurant or another. Now, on ships, I regularly have Indian dishes at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Sometimes things are on the menu or in the buffet, and sometimes an Indian chef or waiter will notice that I ordered vegetarian dishes, and ask if I'd like some Indian food as well. Yes, I would! Apart from that, I've been able to try lots of desserts I never have at home (or even heard of), as well as some soups that are not normally on my radar. Variety is good!
