I have never had cheese with escargot anywhere I've had them. Even recipes online do not use cheese ... I'd be happy to share some of my escargot recipes that include cheese, most of which I got from the internet. While I enjoy the "traditional" French style escargot, I also like those that use Italian cheese such as Parmesan. Let me know if you'd like some of the recipes that use cheese.

Thank you for the offer. I don't make escargot at home. I'll order if If I'm somewhere that has it, but I'm not so wowed by them that I'll make them myself.

Baked or broiled oysters are great with Parmesan cheese so would snails, or I mean Slugs. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not terribly into escargot myself, but snails were a popular "elite" food in ancient Rome (the Romans cultivated them). So I just close my eyes and think of Rome.

So, those photos of the creatures covered in cheese in those cute little ramekins are slugs?? 😉 I'd rather look at some pizza, close my eyes and think of Pizzarium in Rome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I MIss that very delicious fish I have not see Dover sole on a MDR menu for some time, but I have had it in Rudi's on the Westerdam and the Nieuw Statendam. The preparation and service of the fish was excellent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lobster tails on the Zuiderdam last month were actually quite good (even though I know they were frozen). The butter was on the side and they were sweet enough to eat sans the butter.

sail7seas Posted October 27, 2019 #58 Share Posted October 27, 2019 I am hoping to have dover sole on my next HAL cruise. I can have lobster daily at home if I wish but I don't really care that much about it. I prefer mussels and filet fish white in color ( and , or, salmon) vs. lobster r .

Does anyone have a recent experience to report about escargot being served in the MDR? In August, on the Amsterdam, they were not on the menu at all in MDR. We are just off the Oosterdam, and they were offered, but were not the traditional buttery, cheesy, garlicy wonderfulness that we're used to. Has anyone had old school HAL escargot recently? NO however Azamara on cruise this year had them on offer nightly 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previously on a Celebrity ship I could order it nightly?? Every cruise line does things their way. It is for us to choose which line suits us best. I think it would be really bad if they were all the same. How much better that we can choose ( IMO ) I don't care for es argot, so that would not be an incentive for me to sail Celebrity, while it is for others. I particularly enjoy HAL's stir fry at lunch in Lido but , of course, not everyone does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted November 10, 2019 #64 Share Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) Nothing to lose by asking your dining steward for escargot. If you really crave it one night ask............... Edited November 10, 2019 by sail7seas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyndihop Posted November 10, 2019 #65 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I will definitely ask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another HAL cruise I was told that, no, they are not available. On a recent cruise, they substituted tiny scallops, as no escargot were available at all. So as sail7seas said, it can't hurt to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted November 10, 2019 #67 Share Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) The chances of succesfully asking for something 'off menu are better if you are at an assigned table with same steward every night I would hesitate to ask again and again on same cruise, take it slow sail.noordam@gmail.com Edited November 10, 2019 by sail7seas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty in Cozumel Posted November 12, 2019 #68 Share Posted November 12, 2019 On the Celebrity Millennium in March 2018 there was escargot on the menu in the "available every night" section of the menu. I LOVED it. Was surprised to only see it on one Gala Night on the Westerdam during our March 2019 cruise. We are back on the Westerdam in March 2020 and I am hoping I can order it more than once during a 14 night cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely there must be a way for you to have escargot other than on a cruise ship? I hope, for your sake, with a little research, you will find such a restaurant.
