tuggers Posted April 22, 2006 #1 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Chilled soups and breadsticks for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charbie Posted April 22, 2006 #2 Share Posted April 22, 2006 On the 2nd night of our TA cruise on the Century last Oct there was nothing "chocolate" listed on the menu for dessert. When our waitor asked what I wanted I said "since there is no chocolate listed, I will pass on dessert." Well - within minutes the assistant maitre'd brought me the BEST chocolate I have EVERY tasted ... and every night there after I got the BEST chocolate made on board .... Thank-you Daniel!!! (one night we didn't go to dinner and they brought it to my cabin!!! you really, really are treated like a 'celebrity' on X!!!!!) Charbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted April 22, 2006 #3 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Hi Everyone ! Here are some of my favorites : Rack of Lamb, Escargot, Spinach Salad, and the Grilled Salmon at the Spa Cafe. I also love the Chocolate Croissants at the Cova. Ok, now I am hungry :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teedee Posted April 22, 2006 #4 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Everything's so good it's hard to pick. I like the chilled soups, freshly made waffles, creme brulee, salads with Celebrity dressing and all their seafood dishes! Terri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinelyCruising Posted April 22, 2006 #5 Share Posted April 22, 2006 All the fish and all the lamb and all the vegetables. I did just become a new fan of the waffles and the pasta too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvthis Posted April 22, 2006 #6 Share Posted April 22, 2006 It's been 5 years since our last cruise (on the Infinity). I appreciate all your opinions. We'll be on-board Mercury beginning May 8. I'll be sure to sample some of your suggestions. Yum! No wonder I'm so chubby!! Oh well...I'll worry about it AFTER we get back. --Jean & Bob, Racine, Wisconsin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvufan Posted April 22, 2006 #7 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Tough question-may have to do some more research:D My faves are the many fish dishes, waffles, and veggie pizza. Best single meal was in Olympia restaurant and included Chilean sea bass and goat cheese souffle. Lamb en croute was close second. Well, am getting hungry. OOOEEE:D :D Bob and Phyl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrotgirl Posted April 22, 2006 #8 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Andy - I agree with you. I love the chocolate croissants. They could be deadly, though. When we've been in a suite and asked for them for breakfast, our butler would often bring several of them every morning, just to see the grin on my face. I put them in the refrigerator and ate them for snacks during the day. That accounted for some of the weight gain on several of our cruises. I also love the salmon in the aqua spa cafe and the goat cheese souffle in the specialty restaurants. Oh - and the lamb and the escargot and the breadsticks and the chilled soups and the chocoate souffle and the creme brulee and.......

bepsf Posted April 22, 2006 #9 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Wow - and I thought I was gonna go hungry on Mercury... :rolleyes: :) Can anyone tell me if X have stir-fry stations aboard their ships? I need to watch my gluten intake, so any suggestions for non-wheat food items would be very much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted April 22, 2006 #10 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Hi Brian,:) I cannot recall stir-fry..but they make a mean "cooked to order" pasta. Lots of different toppings you can choose from with usually 2 types of noodles. And a choice of sauces as well. Really good! Do you eat pasta? Oh wait, that is full of gluten...isn't it? I just returned from Zenith and food was outstanding. Some of the best salmon I have eaten....and after 8 cruises it was the first time I had ever tried it:eek: I love seafood too...but had just never requested it before! As for going hungry, that will NOT be a problem:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Podgieree Posted April 22, 2006 #18 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Wow - and I thought I was gonna go hungry on Mercury...:rolleyes: :) Can anyone tell me if X have stir-fry stations aboard their ships? I need to watch my gluten intake, so any suggestions for non-wheat food items would be very much appreciated. I had my travel agent fax the cruise line my need for gluten free items. We'll see how it goes. From what I have read on these boards, it shouldn't be a problem. I have my fingers crossed. I have found that so far the easiest place to travel gluten free is DisneyWorld. Instead of just taking away forbidden items, they replaced sauces, pastas and desserts with great alternatives. Have a great cruise. -Paula Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C 2 C Posted April 22, 2006 #19 Share Posted April 22, 2006 The cold soups, anytime all the time.... unfortunately not available enough unless you're on M-class ships... half a dozen for "health" reasons in the spa at lunch.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C 2 C Posted April 22, 2006 #20 Share Posted April 22, 2006 creme brulee...hands down.. only if you put in a special request for an extra thick crust of carmelized sugar created with the torch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safari njema Posted April 22, 2006 #21 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Many think they're bland but I always love the soups at dinner, especially the consommes and tomato bisque. Also the mini-croissants at afternoon tea that are filled with cheese. Also the blueberry ice cream and even basics like chocolate. The sandwiches that are made of pretzel bread during afternoon tea. Lobster tails and shrimp cocktail. ham & cheese fritters appetizer.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flagger Posted April 22, 2006 #22 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I thought the breadsticks on our last cruise paled in comparison to our Alaskan cruise. The best food on board is Mohr Im Hend followed by White Chocolate Mousse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spearmint Posted April 22, 2006 #23 Share Posted April 22, 2006 The chocolate souffle and the cheese cart in the "Normandie Room"; veal oscar, all the cream soups, and the appetizer phyllo pastry stuffed with spinach sitting on a pool of ementhal cheese sauce..... Oh God! I need another cruise now..............:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
