FLcruiserxox Posted April 12, 2012 #1 Share Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) Hi Everyone :) If you've cruised recently, did they have these on the menu? They were white stuffed mushrooms that came on a small plate with about 6 pods or so with stuffed mushrooms in each. I'm cruising on the Destiny at the end of this month and I can't stop thinking about them! lol. They were not on the menu at all on my last Carnival cruise in 2009. I know it sounds ridiculous but they were just sooooooooo good and I want to know if I can look forward to having them. TIA :) Edited April 12, 2012 by FLcruiserxox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have all the Carnival cookbooks but unfortunately none have the recipe. I would be very disappointed if they didn't serve them anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowprintrabbit Posted April 12, 2012 #8 Share Posted April 12, 2012 sounds like they might be a better substitute for the escargot than the ceviche they are "substituting"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilbabyrn Posted April 13, 2012 #14 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I cruised on the Magic last month and yes, escargot was on the menu. I tried it for the first time ever and it was very good. Ate the first one and yum. Started eating the second one and the started thinking about what I was eating and that was it. No more. It really tasted good but all I could think of was all those big old slugs crawling on my patio..... I know, I know....:o And yes, the stuffed mushrooms are still on the menu....YUMMMMMM!!

comeon530 Posted April 13, 2012 #15 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Are they still serving Escargot? On Facebook today, it was mentioned that they will be unable to get any more escargot for a while due to a drought. While a totally different dish, their ceviche was quite good.

cathyz Posted April 13, 2012 #16 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Are they still serving Escargot? No, they're temporarily out of escargot, some kind of supplier issue. There's more info in John Heald's FB about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come back and let me know how they turn out and if they were hard to make. Maybe because of all the ingredients I think it looks difficult. Anyway, have fun and I will be waiting to hear how they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
