Max Circus Posted October 21, 2005 #26 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I am certainly not well-versed in food etiquette, but I have always eaten them like steamed clams (except I use a fork and not my fingers:eek: ). The texture is similar to the "neck" of the clam. Sopping up the garlic butter with bread is also delicious. Not sure if any of this is blessed by Emily Post but I don't plan to find out.

Max Circus Posted October 21, 2005 #29 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I was just thinking the same thing Erin. Unfortunately my work cafeteria doesn't serve escargot. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EggDropErin Posted October 21, 2005 Author #30 Share Posted October 21, 2005 LOL I just snuck into our break room and nuked a piece of pizza really quick. I couldn't take it anymore!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pajara2 Posted October 21, 2005 #31 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Okay now I definetly will be trying them. Thanks everyone. I bet my 10 y/o son will also like them. He recently discovered that oysters aren't that bad when you cover them in spinach and cheese :rolleyes: . So as long as I don't tell him what they are first...he'll be game. About this ordering what you want....I've read elsewhere not to miss the Flour-less chocolate cake (or something like that), then I've read somewhere else where it sounds like it's only served at the upgrade dining rooms on board. Could I ask for a piece in the regular dining room? And you can pre-order the lobster???? I know my kid will eat two easy, maybe three, but I don't want to look that greedy. LOL Maybe we'll each order two and I'll give him my extra. Thanks for all the info...I love these boards! A... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarciaL Posted October 21, 2005 #32 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I'm pretty sure the cake was in all dining rooms. And no need to pre order the lobster. When it is served, they will bring more out anytime you ask. I always have two and on one occasion had three. It's a wonder I did not get sick, but didn't. Ummmmmm good....

EggDropErin Posted October 21, 2005 Author #33 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Escargot is a MUST! I am intending on getting the flourless chocolate cake also, and I think it is only served in the upgrades, but correct me if I'm wrong there. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

jebl Posted October 21, 2005 #36 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Erin, Believe me those days will go by faster than you think. Especially with what you are planning!! Are you having a large wedding, getting married on the ship or what? You will have so much on your mind that time will fly by. Congratulations.

Tatka Posted October 21, 2005 #40 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I ate 3 different versions of escargots: 1) Standard, in platter with 5 bumps and butter. 2) In the original shells with a little bit different souce in Paris. 3) Inside of the bun with white souce in Quebec city. (and on Celebrity) Unfortunately the worst version was on RCCL Splendor of the Seas.. they were overcooked, and butte was almost dry.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeepers385 Posted October 21, 2005 #44 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Just had them a couple of weeks ago when we were on the AOS and I believe it was the 2nd night but not exactly sure. Ah yes keep extra bread aside to dip into the trays. Ok, I'm drooling. Debbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sassy Chassis Posted October 21, 2005 #47 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I'll have to admit...the escargot was very good on Vision. So good in fact, that our waiter brought us out a second helping.
