Eventide331 Posted June 3, 2011 Author #3 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Thank you for your quick response. Doctor recommended new way of enjoying oatmeal and I had hoped I wouid be able to have it when on our cruise in August. It sure will pale in comparision to all the other yummy offerings but you gotta do what you gotta do:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the2ofus Posted June 3, 2011 #4 Share Posted June 3, 2011 If those are steel cut oats in the muesli, that is a yummy offering right there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhannah Posted June 3, 2011 #5 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I've never seen steel cut oats onboard. The oatmeal is definitely the regular kind, thoroughly cooked and very, very soft; neither the look nor texture of steel cut at all. I haven't gotten any muesli in a long time, so I can't tell you for sure about the oats in that; but IIRC those were regular oats, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact IME the oatmeal had the texture of Cream of Wheat. :( I'd prefer the steel cut if I could find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Maasdam last winter, and on the Ryndam that fall ... the breakfast menu offered "Oatmeal" and "Steel Cut Oatmeal" as separate items. I've never tried Steel Cut, so didn't order it - but it was definitely there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironin Posted June 3, 2011 #8 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Steel cut Irish oatmeal was available on the Eurodam, the Amsterdam and the Zuiderdam within the past year. As my mom prefers it, we wrote it in on our room service order virtually every day while aboard the Eurodam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my view, the oatmeal that is served on HAL is too "thin" & "watery"! :( It should be thick enough that a spoon being placed into a bowl of oatmeal will not move! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsSteinrunner Posted June 3, 2011 #11 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Steel cut oatmeal was available in the Amsterdam's dining room earlier this month. It had a nice firm texture and was definitely not watery. In addition to milk, brown sugar, raisins, and sliced bananas were offered with it.

merknerk Posted June 3, 2011 #12 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Yes they do have steel cut oats. I had it for breakfast on Nieuw Amsterdam last March. Enjoy your cruise !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvertoGold Posted June 3, 2011 #13 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Steel cut oatmeal is on the new expanded menu that came in last year. It seems to be made with water, with no sugar. I make mine with half milk and a little brown sugar, finding that tastier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catl331 Posted June 3, 2011 #14 Share Posted June 3, 2011 So it looks to me that you can get it from Room Service and from the Dining Room. I bet, just like ordering from the Dinner Menu, you must order when the Dining Room is open and not early hours like the Lido. I guess you can check with room service ahead of time.

That's something that is easily added individually when you are served. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaCat3 Posted June 3, 2011 #17 Share Posted June 3, 2011 This Girl Raised In the South had to check out this thread. Being a true GRITS, I don't "do" oatmeal and wondered if this was a brand name or what! LOL :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrTee Posted June 3, 2011 #19 Share Posted June 3, 2011 If any of you are wondering why the bother, steel cuts oatmeals are less processed, and therefore healthier, than other forms. Also for those of us who are trying to eat gluten-free, though oatmeal doesn't have gluten, only steel-cut oatmeal is free of wheat contamination (because the other oatmeals are processed in the same machinery as wheat products). My understanding is that you have to go to the dining room for it (I agree that the stuff in the Lido is disgustingly watery). I am excited that we may be able to get it via room service.

LOL :) And HAL does have grits, although I understand that true grits is a very controversial topic and HAL may not be up to your standards! Too bad you don't do oatmeal: it is pretty good for you and if you make it right, pretty good tasting, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZNative2000 Posted June 3, 2011 #21 Share Posted June 3, 2011 DW had Steel Cut Oatmeal several mornings aboard Oosterdam two weeks ago.:) I was curious as to what it was that made it different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare erewhon Posted June 4, 2011 #25 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Something southern folks eat to accompany healthy breakfasts of bacon, biscuits, and gravy. From "Google" I learn that grits are made from coarsely ground corn, and cooked to a porridge like consistency. The breakfast biscuit is similiar to what we call a scone. The term biscuit to us, is what you would call a cookie. For instance, I would bake a chocolate chip biscuit, you would bake a chocolate chip cookie.
