Sea Hag Posted March 9, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 9, 2023 On our sailing last week on the Sky, the twice baked goat cheese souffle was offered as a main, rather than a starter. We've always gotten it as a starter, and last week we ordered it as one anyhow. It was somewhat larger than the version we've gotten in the past but not that much larger. My hubby said that he would have been very unhappy with the portion size if he'd ordered it as a main. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelers36 Posted March 9, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Yes, I had seen another post showing the menu and mentioned that. Seems odd to me for sure. I guess we'd order one as appetizer and share it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
californiagirl Posted March 10, 2023 #3 Share Posted March 10, 2023 It was switched to a main with the new menus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are unhappy with the portion size, that's the great thing about cruising, you can order another. Less food waste as many have four course meals and don't need a huge main. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you find it weird that they would take an item that's always been a starter and offer it as a main instead? I, for one, have never seen that happen before. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if there were a lot of people just ordering that for their main course and no other actual "main" dish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JimmyVWine Posted March 10, 2023 #8 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Solution: “I would like to start with the Twice Baked Goat Cheese Soufflés as my first course, and for my main course I would like [insert dish of choice].” Problem solved. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems weird to have it as a main course. Now people just eat a portion of it followed by a main course. It just encourages more waste. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latebloomer56 Posted March 10, 2023 #12 Share Posted March 10, 2023 As long as it's the same, nothing changed but the size. I love this so maybe will get as a main dish that could work for me s I don't even finish the smaller one, just skip something else like dessert. Looking forward to this as long as not on the same night as pork belly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skents Posted March 10, 2023 #14 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I had this last week as a starter. Ate every bit of it. Then used a dinner roll to sop up the sauce. They did not even need to wash that plate. 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what we did, and I think I said that in the first post. Edit: I looked back, and I didn't really make it clear in the first post that we'd done exactly that.

Now people just eat a portion of it followed by a main course. It just encourages more waste. I eat at least 2 goat cheese souffle appetizers as appetizers. No waste here. I even lick the plate. Oh, and I always regret ordering only two. Since we sail on Princess once a year at the most, and they don't even have this souffle on all of their sailings, I just don't get enough of this dish!

It's not on the menu except as an appetizer some days, but you can ask for it any day and they will make it.

Rare BamaVol Posted March 18, 2023 #22 Share Posted March 18, 2023 I was presented with a non-dairy version as an appetizer. DW ordered one as a main. She was pleased, but has a small appetite and recognizes that many would be disappointed. Here is a picture of hers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on what ship you were on. Not all ships moved to the new menus until this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
