Just for fun . . . last meal request on a HAL ship.

[BruhnSisters]

If you were on death row (unjustly of course) in the brig of a Holland America Ship . . . what would you request as your last meal? You can mix and match restaurant locations.  

 

My meal:

Lido:  Fresh Baked Croissant and a Poppy Seed Roll

Dutch Cafe:  Pea Soup

Rudi's Sel de Mer:  Coq Au Vin

Canaletto - Tiramisu (with Irish Coffee from the Dutch Cafe)

 

Thanks for joining the fun, if you wish!

Lobster of course

[RuthC]

Pinnacle Grille. I'll start with a cocktail, please. A Lemon Drop. 
I'll have the Clothesline Bacon AND the wedge salad for appetizers. (what the heck. it's my last meal, so I can splurge)
For the main course, I would like the Filet Mignon, medium rare, mashed potatoes, asparagus. And Bearnaise Sauce on the side. That does come with some onion rings, I believe? 
And for dessert I would please have the Chocolate Volcano Cake. 

Thank you!

The antipasto plate, the lamb and affogato at the Konigsdam Canaletto. So good on our recent cruise. Plus three pints of Espresso Chocolate Chip from the Konigdam Gelato Bar. 

[Mike B Landlubber]

appetizer- clothesline bacon

second appetizer- lobster mac 

 

Entree- Beef tenderloin with blue cheese

 

dessert- their desserts are great, but no dessert stands out for me the way the other dishes do!

 

on a two week cruise in December, I liked the tenderloin and the bacon so much I had them twice!

 

they also had a veal scallopini dish in Canalletto that I really liked, but I can’t remember the exact name, and though I would swear in court I took a shot of the menu, I cannot find it!

They'll be looking for that one, for 5 years:

My choice:  a pound of caviar and a few rolls

I like the escargot and the long ago but long gone king crab legs in the pinnacle grill. The dover sole is a hit in Rudis and paired with a Caesar salad is a winner winner.

Please don’t foie gras shame me.

I'll have been executed. My cardiologist won't ever know what I ate. 

[BetsyS.]

A Bloody Mary (or two)

Pea soup (Dutch Cafe)

Croissants (Lido)

Dover sole, French fries, asparagus ( Rudis)

Chocolate souffle

 

[BetsyS.]

Ruth C - You're right! The doctors will never know what we ate because it will be our last hurrah! I would request some champagne to have with my Dover sole  and I'll 

have 2 chocolate souffles (with whipped cream) instead of one! 😊

Lori,

Being just home from our B2B on K'dam, it's still hard to choose!

 

Appetizer-sized Short-Rib Gnocchi (Canaletto)

Forest Mushroom Soup (Pinnagrill, with the twisty bread-things and pepper-cream cheese)

Josh Rogan Curry (Lido, one of the few things we had with any spice to speak of) over Jasmine Rice

ETA: with SBP-covered Cline Old Vine Zinfandel (until they ran out of it!)

 

Coconut and dulce de leche tart (also the Lido; apparently it is a classic Argentine dessert)

With a Latte from the Exploration Cafe.
