Menus! (With Pictures)

[smashley]

Have to go to bed ---- will finish tomorrow....

 

Thought of this idea the other day -- and if you all are anything like me, you want pictures, info, and more pictures about all the FOOD!! :p So, I typed up the fleetwide menu with pictures included. There are not many at the moment. If anyone would like to help out with dishes that there are no photos of, that would be wonderful. Maybe on your upcoming cruises, or even if you already have pictures! Thanks to anyone whose pictures I have already used.

Sorry, I don't want to stretch the page.

[Leo Jay]

Good thought, but it would help if many of those pics were much larger.

[gypsyrose]

I agree, this is an absolutely wonderful idea but the pics are really small.

[Yvonne]

I agree, this is an absolutely wonderful idea but the pics are really small.

 

ITA, can you please make your pictures BIGGER?

[SmileEh]

Awesome thought... but as well I find the pic's very small and can not see any detailing...

[JulieMcCoy]

This is a GREAT idea! I wish I had taken pictures of food so I could help out. Mmmmm, warm chocolate melting cake!

Starters

Smoked Duck and Caramalized Oranges

 

[/url]Main Courses

 

Supreme of Hudson Valley Duck

Great idea smashley, but I think the Main Course picture of the Supreme of Hudson Valley Duck is actually the Starter of Smoked Duck and Caramalized Oranges.

Oh wow, I hadn't noticed that the pictures came out so small! Will fix them today!

[smashley]

Does anyone know why there is not Edit button under my original post? Thought I'd be able to go back and fix things up but apparently not....

[ShanteS]

This is a GREAT idea! I wish I had taken pictures of food so I could help out. Mmmmm, warm chocolate melting cake!

 

I agree with everyone else. This is a wonderful idea. I'll have to take pictures of everyones food on my next cruise. And I'll DEFINITELY have to try this warm chocolate melting cake everyone keeps raving about. It must be really good. How about the amaretto cake? Is it any good? That looked good too.

The edit button only lasts for X minutes after you post. Once it goes away, you can no longer edit that post. You might try contacting the moderator.

Thanks Dan. I think I may look into putting this on a website instead, that way it will be available for a long time and I can edit it easily.

Thanks Dan. I think I may look into putting this on a website instead, that way it will be available for a long time and I can edit it easily.

That is the best idea for something like this that you will have to edit as picture links get broken, new/better pictures are added, new menu items added, etc.
