Close but no cigar...

Which is the real one and which is the current one? 
What has supply chain issues done to my beloved roll?

Not cooked enough behind door #2.

Doesn't look very appetizing to me!

Your top photo looks exactly as what we had on Regatta in May.  No different than all our past sailings.

The real one (or the one that set your standard) is the first.  I remember your post - mainly I noticed the plate was beautiful.

One plate is from Polo  the other from Toscana

Some folks may want to look a bit closer.
 

The top pic truly is the “real thing” (pre-Covid). We’ve seen the bottom one on Riviera this past January and now on Insignia. It is my understanding that there has been a necessary fleet-wide recipe change (hopefully only temporary).

 

Apparently, there is a world-wide shortage of poppy seeds and O has substituted in black sesame seeds in a failed attempt to fool multi-seed aficionados visually. Oh the horror!

Some people could swear there were poppy seeds on the rolls on Regatta.   🤷‍♀️

Very possible.

Who knows what non-perishable staples made it through the months of shut-down storage on each ship. All I know is that I was told quite a few of the bakery items have needed to be altered including the beloved multi-seeded rolls.

FWIW, the bran muffins have also changed significantly to just a plain old muffin with sprinkled bran on top. And, another big bakery change is that the Jaques signature rolls on the O ships have been replaced by “rustic” bread. Sadly,  I fear this latter one is a permanent change.

 

First world problems for sure but problems nonetheless.

Any update on the baguettes?

Maybe they should just  do away with the seeds altogether

Or you could find a cruise line that  supplies you with the proper seeded rolls  🙄

Unclear on the concept of satire?
