DMH15 Posted December 18, 2013 #26 Share Posted December 18, 2013 some people like biscuits more than cocktails Mike, this gets my Post of the Day Award. Heck, maybe of the month. I am a Southern Girl from Texas. Well, have lived here most of my life... Was born in Burbank but my mama was from Texas and can sure cook a biscuit!

bingo3 Posted December 18, 2013 #27 Share Posted December 18, 2013 The Grands frozen Southern Style biscuits are actually almost like homemade biscuits, maybe should try those. Overcooked or left sitting too long will harden biscuits. And re-heating a biscuit is the pits! Will most definitely harden them! debbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luddite Posted December 18, 2013 #28 Share Posted December 18, 2013 It IS amazing. They do great job baking bread and yet the biscuits are closer to beige hockey pucks than food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asubaru Posted December 18, 2013 #29 Share Posted December 18, 2013 some people like biscuits more than cocktails Just.....perfect, thank you! Amazing that people will read such an annoying subject to them just to make a critical post. Guess it shows that threads like this are needed to give them something to do/read ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karoo Posted December 18, 2013 #30 Share Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) Biscuits???? what we call scones-where I come from they are only ever served for afternoon tea usually with jam and cream never at breakfast and definitely not with gravy. Imagine my shock when I stayed at friends who lived in Georgia and they served them up for breakfast. All I felt like eating was fruit, yoghurt and a cup of coffee. Biscuits to us are what you call cookies. Cocktails though are cocktails-I get those! There's plenty of yummy cocktails aboard! (You've gotta focus on the important things in life for sure!)

Out to sea! Posted December 18, 2013 #31 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Really a topic about biscuits. Eat something else if you doing like for goodness sake Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app This is a public forum where the OP can write about pretty much anything they want. If you don't enjoy reading about biscuits (clearly stated in the title), don't open the thread. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luddite Posted December 18, 2013 #33 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Biscuits and scones aren't the same thing. Much like donuts and bagels aren't the same thing. They use similar ingredients for different results. Kinda like beer and bread---same stuff, different result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger001 Posted December 18, 2013 #34 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Scones are served each afternoon about 3 pm in the Great Outdoors (where there is one). They include the cream and jam. My wife really likes them. My wife isn't British, but having eaten scones in England, she says that to her, these are equally good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
che5904 Posted December 18, 2013 #35 Share Posted December 18, 2013 some people like biscuits more than cocktails Oh, lighten up. I agree. This is a rather comical (in a good way) thread. I can't say I've ever had the biscuits on NCL, or at least not with gravy. Being from the north if I did, I would have had them with Jam. Also, if I did, obviously they never left lasting impression on me, one way or another :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7leagueboots Posted December 18, 2013 #36 Share Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) Biscuits aside, the title of this thread is simply perfect! "Why Can't They Get the Biscuits Right?" should be the title of a book - or a movie. The OP should copyright it! :) Edited December 18, 2013 by 7leagueboots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quercus alba Posted December 18, 2013 #37 Share Posted December 18, 2013 They must get the biscuit mix from the same distributor that supplies them with that fake-maple pancake syrup. Uh-oh...here we go again! :eek: I always bring a roll or two when I go... Also baby wipes don't hurt either :) Just don't flush them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
