Favorite MDR items?

[harryfat1]

Think most of the food we like have already been mentioned previously.

 

Let's start with shrimp cocktail

 

 

One of the many cold soups (aka poor person's jamba juice)

 

 

 

Escargo

 

 

 

Double lobster with shrimp

 

 

 

Lamb shank with mint jelly

 

 

 

Lamb shank was extremely popular at our table. Five out of six of us ordered it.

Jumping over to desserts:

 

Special holiday dessert of French yule log

 

 

 

So called baked Alaska. Missed the old days of actually seeing the parade and presentation of the actual big cake. Now it's just a slice

 

 

 

I know the title asks about food in MDR, but if somehow you end up eating at dinner windjammer on some nights, they have ice cream there and you can add your own toppings

 

 

Back to MDR for the warm cake

 

 

If all this is too much sugar for your diet, you can always ask waiter to bring you a plate of fruits

Love your post. I just had dinner and dessert, and your post is making me hungry.

Me too, and I haven't seen cornbread offered in a couple of years.

Me either, I think they got rid of it when they stopped offering a themed bread every night. Whoever made that decision should have to walk the plank.

I haven't seen a savoury bite in ages!

Oh no! We cruise Royal just for the savory bites! Not really, but we do really love them when we dine in the MDR. Has anyone seen savory bites on recent cruises? If not, why would Royal remove them from their arsenal of breads? They have always been very popular.

Had them every night on the Empress last month. Asked the first night and they were in the bread basket the next 3 nights.

Whew!

As I've heard if you ask for them you will get them

we had the onion tart on Harmony a couple weeks ago. Very good

 

 

 

I sure hope Serenade has them in March. Vidalia onion tarts were on my favorites list and I have missed them.

It's my favorite too but I hate to tell you that it wasn't on Serenade in March or the previous April.

The raisin/cranberry bread at breakfast (oval- shaped slices). Very similar to Challah bread. I will say it is better on some ships than others. If it is soft and a little moist and "eggy" which is the way it should be, it is delicious with butter and a cup of coffee or tea! :D

Roasted Garlic soup, Lasagne, and the savory bites.

 

There were no savory bites or onion rolls on the Oasis the first day. I askd about them both, and every night starting with the second night we had savory bites & onion rolls.

The only MDR item that really left me wanting more was the Royal Seafood Salad. I also really liked the Roasted Poblano Pepper and Corn Soup.

Oh, yes! That bread is great in the mornings. I didn't discover it until a couple of years ago. Love a good savory bite, but sometimes they are a little hard to bite! Those pumpkin seed rolls have become a favorite lately. One more week til I can order it all again!
