Just dreaming about my up coming cruise :). Looking at Menus and need a little help with what some of these items would be in UK English!! or descriptions of them. Field Greens. Biscuits and gravy. Silver Dollar Pancakes. Buffallo Wings. Canadian Bacon. Cream of Wheat. Oatmeal. Sherbet. Bread Pudding. Thanks

I LOVE salads :) Now I am tempted to give it a try even tho I am not a big meat eater. The beef does sound good tho.

Great review was in Santorini and Mykonos this summer so its like being back again. :)

Besides the suite breakfast and lunch favourites I have very few definite favourites elsewhere, only that come to mind are:
In the buffet:
- Chilled fruit soups (if found, nowadays usually only in buffet if even there)
- Plain crepe on which I add raspberry sauce from the hard ice cream station (sometimes I'd settle for strawberry if there is no raspberry available), that way it's much less sugary than with the jams there at the crepes station
In MDRs:
- Spring roll (I think it's spring and not summer - anyway the one that is deepfried, not the vietnamese one that is fresh and cold, I don't usually eat a lot of foods from those areas so I have mixed them up in the past - what a dissappointment it's been ;))
- Salmon and cucumber tartar (next best thing after the salmon appetizer on suite lunch menu)
In bars:
- Oak and Ginger (Bacardi Oakheart with Ginger Ale)
- Most martinis (I drink martinis only onboard usually)
- Mojitos (there are several delicious variations too, it pays to ask)
I think we like a lot of the same things :) Great idea with the sauce for the Crepes. And yes I too have done the same with the Spring Rolls I do like both but always dissapionted when I go for the wrong "type" :(

It's bread but made to have the texture of a pretzel. Kind of like a big pretzel you get at the fair but in a bread form. Did that make any sense? Lol.
Mmmmmm yes it does thanks. I love the giant soft pretzels NOT the little hard ones Infact I have just scoffed one ;) :) I will be trying those!!!
-
Love this thread. I want to be on my cruise NOW!! so I can try some of these items. But please tell us Brits what a Pretzel Roll is. :)

Agree mostly but for the tomato sauce. It's ok, but not essential to me. Actually a small pizza buffet chain (Infinitos) near us offers a "Rose' " pizza--a blend of Alfredo and marinara--which is a pleasant blend of styles!:D
Agree! Pizza with blue cheese and lettuce? that sounds like a pizza that was thrown away in my garden after a couple of days of fermenting!:eek:
Well we have to have some healthy food to balance out those deep fried Mars bars :) :) or the deep fried Pizza - Now that is BAD
-
For me: No tomato sauce but Harissa, Chorizo, Blue Cheese and Rocket ( Arugala?)
-
Ok Ok I know I am draging up an old Thread but wanted to add. 1) Andouillette - gross 2) Snail and Frogs legs Pizza -WHY!! 3) Root Beer and Pumkin Pie - maybe you hve to grow up with them :) 4) Mashed Potatoe unless it is on top of a Cottage Pie.

:)I have been following the thread to help me decide if I should purchase this if I book a cruise for 2014. I want to keep hydrated!! Is non bottled water still and sparkling included or is this free anyway. I dont drink any other type of soda except Ginger Beer (very popular in UK) or iced Green Tea but I have not seen those listed aywhere.
Help US English to UK English translation for food items.

Thank you. :).
So if you wanted to order in the UK.
Mixed Green Salad.
Not Available
Drop Scones (I think)
Chicken Wings
Gammon or back bacon (depends on how thick or thin it is)
Not Available
Porridge ( Although tradtionaly made with salt and NOT sugar)
Sorbet, Milk Ice or Granita
Bread and Butter Pudding.
I think I will be trying all of these except the Biscuits and Gravy (a bit too strange for me) and the Bread and Butter Pudding which I really don't like. :)
