Princess Osso Bucco

[nimiq]

Hello all,

 

Can anyone tell me if we can find this dish on the Ruby Princess for Nov. We have had Osso Bucco so far on 2 of Princess ships that is the Diamond and the Sapphire as both have that 4 call MDR. This is my favorite dish and Princess make it better than a land restaurant.

Unlike the Diamond and the Sapphire, none of the other Princess ships have Osso Bucco more than once during a cruise, if that. My suggestion is to speak to the Maitre d' and request it for a specific night or nights. They will make it for you, even if it's not on the menu, with 24-hour notice.

We were on the Sapphire in August. I had the osso bucco the last night and enjoyed it very much. I never thought about asking for it on my next cruise, which will be on the Island.

I have to ask, what is "osso bucco"? Never heard of it and in case it is offered on our sailing would like to try it if I know what it is.

Thanks

osso bucco is a braised veal shank on the bone. Usually with some kind of tomato based cooking sauce. The meat is very tender and you can eat the bone marrow with a small spoon. I have not had it on Princess, but it is delicious at the restaraunts where I have had it.

The osso bucco on Princess is good. Not the best I've had, but apparently to be perfectly prepared it needs to simmer in a vegetable broth overnight. Yum!

We have found it on the lunch menu on most cruises. I don't think I have seen it on dinner, but if it is I would expect to see it on Italian Night. It is very good and very rich!

Found it at the Cafe Caribe late one night on the Emerald. Great stuff.

Princess serves it on a bed of rice which I always find interesting as my favourite Italian restaurant serves it on pasta which I prefer.

When we were on the Sapphire this year, you could get it in the dining room that turns into an "anytime dining room" at 8pm. Can't remember the name of the dining room... where's that ship map??.....I think it's the Vivaldi. Love the Osso Bucco on Princess! That and souffles but they're getting skimpy on the souffles anymore, darn it! :rolleyes:

You are correct, it is the Vivaldi that has it every night as their specialty entrée.

I must be the only one in this world who has no clue what the fascination is with osso bucco.

I don't remember seeing it on the dinner menu at all...

I had it for lunch on the Golden.
