The return of real butter!

[steve ch]

On the 21st August sailing of Silhouette, in Aqua. I was amazed to see REAL butter (and a good selection of bread) served in Blu, instead of the whipped stuff. Not all changes are bad.

When they bring back all of the jellies/jams in the little Hero glass jars, all will be right with the world!

I wish I took a picture for you!  All must be right in the world... I had jam in the individual glass jars these past two weeks on the Millennium.

Sam, you just made my day!

Yes. I watched a woman carrying multiple plates let one slide off her plate, crash to the floor in the Oceanview Cafe, and shatter. The staff rushed in to clean it up, as the woman just walked away. One staff member did chase her down… to find out what kind of jam it was so that they could fetch her another one and deliver it to her table.

Wow, some people are just so rude.  The staff is always trying to do their best to please. Their approaching to her was admirable (though undeserved 🙂 ).

 

I actually like those whipped butters, because they are so much easier to spread on bread (I assume they are 'real' butter for the most part).  And they have the different flavors which I enjoy.  When we have those foil wrapped butter pats at a restaurant, they are always hard, I give a few to my DH to hold onto to warm up! Otherwise you have a little brick sitting on your bread.  What am I supposed to do with that? LOL

It was decided some years ago on Constellation that, should the captain of the ship choose to do so at dinner, passengers were also permitted the convenient practice of poking their Celebrity breadsticks into their own pats of butter! 🥖

I am aghast at the idea of a table full of people holding up their butter-cicles!  Just joking 🙂

This "Smuckers" stuff and fake Maple Sirup are just so disgusting. Real quality Jam and Maple Sirup would be nice 😉

I’d forgotten the trio of butter choices you get in the MDR. So nice to see and taste them again on the freshly baked bread served to us on Silhouette two weeks ago.

To me any jam that is not home made is fake.. just too much sugar. The fake syrup is just boiled sugars with corn syrup and fake flavour. I live in the north east where we enjoy local maple syrup!

When will we know when all is right with the world meaning safe once again ? When you walk into Costco and they are passing out food samples. Even if you don't eat them this will be the sign!

Sam's here in Hilton Head is providing samples, but only of small snacks things they could pour into a cup (like pretzel bites, and nothing cooked like sausage. They also were not allowed to physically hand you the cup. 

 

Not as good a sign as you were hoping for, but I was happy to see some of them getting some hours finally!

I had to do cleanups in a dept store job years ago. I was thrilled when the customer just walked away. NEVER wanted them hanging around, trying to "help" or apologizing! Invariably, they made it worse....

I prefer maple syrup and is much better than maple sirup. 😉
