Even I, a lowly Stumble, can make good Mexican food. I wanted to tell the chef he could have looked at the Chipotle menu for inspiration. Apparently the meal planner didn't know Mexican food involves vegetables 🙂. Enjoy Cinco de Mayo! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only meal we've ever had on Silversea that was send-back worthy was a vegetarian meal my wife ordered. No amount of sauvignon blanc could wash it down. But, following how this thread reflects the varied tastes of each of us, someone else might have loved it. I had the best turkey burger anywhere on a Silversea cruise. All seafood dishes we had were great. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavementends Posted May 5, 2023 #29 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Both pizza and hamburgers can be made to a very high standard. I remember some NYC restaurant with a hundred dollar burger with foie gras and wagyu beef and stuff like that. And even when made with more ordinary materials these can be well worth ordering if carefully executed. Having said that- I do prefer ordering things that are difficult to make, or too complicated, or too messy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neapolitan does not just mean thin-crust….thin-crust could be New York style! Neapolitan pizza has a thin, pillowy, very soft texture not the dry, chewy crust I encountered on the Moon. 48 hour proofing is the norm for Neapolitan.

Rare irvington Posted May 6, 2023 #31 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Thanks, this has been a fun thread to read. I'm pretty flexible, even though I'm hailing from a very foodie place. I'm kind squeamish/picky about steak so may take a pass there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare spinnaker2 Posted May 7, 2023 #32 Share Posted May 7, 2023 (edited) You can order your pizza to be customized. I like to have some rochetta added on top just before serving. And order a small pizza or a calzone! I think the pizza is terrific. And yes reflective of the Neapolitan restaurant. But not like Pepe’s from New Haven. You can order anything you’d like that is not on the menu 24 hours in advance. You can order a dinner party for your group and work with the chef/MD/your butler to tailor it to your liking, but you will need to give advance notice. The hamburgers are pretty awful IMO. Instead if i fancy a sandwich, I have ordered the fish of the day broiled and put it on a toasted bun with lettuce and tomato or cole slaw. I see that Poke bowls or sushi bowls are now offered at the pool grill as well. Edited May 7, 2023 by spinnaker2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will definitely have to try them the next time I sail. You know how I feel about the hamburger. By far, the worst I’ve had anywhere in the world. Awful. Absolutely awful. I do love your fish sandwich idea though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, this is a poke bowl: A poke bowl base usually consists of rice, with protein choices of tuna, tofu, salmon and many more options. Sauces are an essential part of a poke bowl and can consist of wasabi mayo, eel sauce and dragon aioli. and a couple of photos, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lincslady Posted May 10, 2023 #42 Share Posted May 10, 2023 I have never heard of it either. Is it 'poke' or 'poky'? And I guess basically Japanese? Can't say it thrills me. Maybe tastier than it sounds, and it looks pretty. Lola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted May 10, 2023 #43 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Hi Lola, it is very popular around here.......actually, there are different bowls.....I actually think they are originally from Hawaii but there is a Japanese influence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Gourmet Gal Posted May 10, 2023 #44 Share Posted May 10, 2023 (edited) Pronounced Pokay. It’s Hawaiian and has evolved over the years to include soy and sesame seasonings. Poke is basically seasoned raw fish and a poke bowl is poke over rice. Different from a chirashi bowl which has a greater variety of components and the fish is not pre-seasoned. And both are delicious and healthy if you can handle the sodium. Edited May 10, 2023 by Gourmet Gal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer it with either fresh salmon, or better yet, skipjack (also a tuna, very dark red meat) that I've caught off one of the islands there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
