cruz chic Posted November 6, 2013 #101 Share Posted November 6, 2013 [quote name='innlady1'][FONT=Comic Sans MS][SIZE=3]I usually choose the "no sugar added" desserts...they're not bad.[/SIZE][/FONT] [/quote] I get enough of that at home as I don't eat sugar. I did have a bite of one on the ship and I have to admit it was pretty tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruz chic Posted November 6, 2013 #102 Share Posted November 6, 2013 [quote name='mamaofami'][FONT=Comic Sans MS][SIZE=4]IIRC, the chocolate purse was on the menu with a different name and then a description of what it was. You needed to read the menu carefully to find it. At least, that's what I recall.[/SIZE][/FONT][/quote] I remember it having an odd name. Since I heard that I've kept a watch but haven't seen it. That said, HAL drives me to eat in their specialty restaurants because the service tends to be not great in the MDR. I might have missed it on one of those nights.

The first time I ever had it, I was looking for it on the menu, as I had been told it was there. Didn't see it at all. Someone else at the table read it out loud, and that's when I knew---I could hear the word "[COLOR=sienna]chocolate[/COLOR]" clearly, albeit foreign, in the name.

mamaofami Posted November 6, 2013 #105 Share Posted November 6, 2013 [FONT=Comic Sans MS][SIZE=3]Ruth, I recall that you posted that here and I was on the lookout for it and still almost missed it. Maybe it's still there and we're all not seeing it.[/SIZE][/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nana51 Posted November 6, 2013 #107 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Guess I'm not as fussy. I always enjoy the desserts. I always find something I like. I do love the crisps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm certain that using the English language name for it would not have made a difference in them understanding what you were asking about. Everyone called it by the English language name. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS][SIZE=3][COLOR=#4169e1]I haven't seen it on the menu in ages, so I expect that when they said it was no longer on it, they were telling it exactly as it is.

mamaofami Posted November 7, 2013 #110 Share Posted November 7, 2013 [FONT=Comic Sans MS][SIZE=3]I wonder why they took it off the menu? I only had it once, but loved it.

I expect the cost of ingredients had something to do with removing it. That was good [COLOR=sienna]chocolate[/COLOR], and there was butter in the recipe.
