Requesting a Special Dish in MDR?

[quote name='innlady1'][FONT=Comic Sans MS][SIZE=3]I usually choose the "no sugar added" desserts...they're not bad.[/SIZE][/FONT]

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.

[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.

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][SIZE=3][COLOR=#4169e1]Perhaps my tastebuds have lost their spark over the years, but I don't find the [COLOR=sienna]chocolate[/COLOR] soufflé to be all that [COLOR=sienna]chocolaty[/COLOR]. I finish one wanting more [COLOR=sienna]chocolate[/COLOR]. Surprise. Surprise. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][SIZE=3][COLOR=royalblue]I think it may be listed in Dutch. 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. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[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]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][SIZE=3]I asked on our recent cruise if the chocolate purse was still on the menu and was told it was not. I didn't know the "real" name for it...perhaps that would have made a difference.[/SIZE][/FONT]

Guess I'm not as fussy. I always enjoy the desserts. I always find something I like. I do love the crisps.

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][SIZE=3][COLOR=#4169e1]I doubt that, Sheila. 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. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][SIZE=3]A shame, Ruth. That was my all time favorite.[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][SIZE=3]I wonder why they took it off the menu? I only had it once, but loved it. I found it better than the Chocolate Volcano in the Pinnacle.[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][SIZE=3][COLOR=#4169e1]I thought so, too. 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. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
