Is Escargot Escargone??

[Jordanyaya1]

Please say it isn’t so. Have read that Celebrity no longer serves escargot. One of my favorites and was looking forward to it on June 7th Apex sailing out of Amsterdam. Maybe their European suppliers will have it.

We had it on Edge in October and Silhouette in March, both sailings were from Ft. Lauderdale.

Read where?  I’ve been on two Celebrity cruises the restart, both had escargot.

The lack of escargot was posted on FB by someone who just got off Apex.

There may be spot shortages, as with anything, but there is no change fleetwide

Good reason to come to cruise critic for your important information!😀

Just off the 'Nox yesterday, still on the menu

[marieps]

Just did 9 night repo on Summit.  Had escargot every night and they were huge...and piping hot.

[Salt Lifer]

There was no escargot on the April 23rd Apex sailing. I was told it was a supplier issue.

I had it on the Constellation in March, but it was GREEN.  Not sure what happened.

In pesto perhaps?

I hear the Eclipse is serving sauteed acorn barnacles when the escargot supply runs low.  Evidently they have a good number of them available! 😜

The Apex did not have it for April 23 through 30 b/c they claimed to receive no shipment at the port.

Believe it or not, barnacles are edible and delicious! That's right, these creatures, commonly considered to be pests of the sea, can be harvested and prepared like any other seafood (provided they're the right kind, of course).

Where was the sailing?  We had them on the Edge April 17th.  However, they were small.  Maybe it's where the ship is supplied.

Were offered on Silhouette every night last week.

R/T, 7-days, from PEV. 

 

I was on the Reflection two weeks earlier, again, R/T from PEV, and they had it on the menu every night.  I believe it was a supplier issue --- either completely out or somebody forgot to put it on the truck.

Still on the menu for our Alaska trip in July.  I just checked the app.

To be fair, the most common ones (acorn barnacles) that are likely polluting the Eclipse's hull aren't.  They don't have much meat and tend to pick up a lot of toxins.  There are some yummy ones, though.

On the menu does not mean they will have it if there is a supplier issue.  Granted, Port Everglades is from from Port of Seattle or Vancouver, or wherever Celebrity is embarking from.

Maybe the poster on that social media could not get as much as they wanted of them??? LOL

 

bon appetit and bon voyage

[Denny01]

How could there be a shortage of Escargot?!? I mean the things slug along (yeah, slipped That Word in) and are all over where you don’t want the things. But I guess if cornered, it can be a bit dicey bringing one down!

Was on the April 23 Apex sailing in Aqua class dining in Blu every night. Although not shown on any of the dining room menus, escargot was available if you asked for it. 

[Andrewgary]

Just got off the Edge transatlantic and the MDR had it every night. Along with everything else it was delicious.

Thanks for all the positive feedback. I’m happy but the snails…..not so much.
