Spy pimms is what it sounds like this is called? From I remember it was the only one I liked.

Mai Tai 

 

 

Means Manhattan is next, I may skip that one. 

[jam19872016]

Oof I would love to trade these last two for two more of whatever that first one is.

We won’t blame Celeb for the deficient plating. But the bread things are too big to count as teatime sandwiches. Now whisper it: there have been many complaints that Cunard serves whipped not clotted cream. Have you a separate cake plate?

Upon further talks with my wise Uncle Google, I have learned clotted cream is not leagle in the US. So at least sailing from a US port whipped cream it is I guess.

 

Funny the things the FDA allows in our foods but clotted cream is a no no.

Getting the bar filled up for this evening now.

Somewhere near Mexico.

They had it on the Ascent cruise out of FLL over Christmas in the retreat lounge during tea time. Perhaps the authorities shut them down.

Interesting as from what I've read it's not available for sale except direct from small farms in certain states and never across state lines. So if Florida is one of them, it is quite expensive to purchase since only small farms cam sell it (and could a small farm source a cruise ship?). Perhaps they were just labeling it clotted cream. Or perhaps my Uncle Google is wrong?

 

I can't say I was unhappy with the whipped cream, still tasty and I am still full at dinner time.

Well don’t let being full hold you back from ordering or we will all be disappointed.

Got my pager.

 

Tonight's menu is the chic night menu.

Prepare for disappointment 😆.  Skipping an appetizer and probably only one dessert. I may throw a lobster tail on my pasta if the mood strikes me.

I missed pasta on the menu but can get behind adding lobster to pasta.

Sorry, risotto which you are correct is not a pasta. I'm delirious after not eating for nearly four hours. 

[jam19872016]

Just over half hour for pager to go off. Chic night is probably a little busier. I think I am going to go for an app. 

[Salt Lifer]

These are the posts I look forward to all day!  Enjoy your meal!

[jam19872016]

Decided against the appetizer they just don't look appealing. 

 

Risotto and lobster tail 801.

 

[Salt Lifer]

That looks like a good combination.  I may have to get a risotto to go with my lobster next month.

They pair nicely together.

 on our next cruise, I'm going to try to order the lobster tail as an appetizer..esp if the menu is like this one..no great apps.

 

then I'd  go for the lamb or beef wellington as a main..

 

our next cruise is a ways off..but getting good ideas!

Not the biggest lobster fan, just got it because that's the thing to do. It had a nice flavor and the portion was decent for cruise ship lobster. 

 

The risotto is my favorite cruise ship risotto and this did not disappoint. I'm trying not to worry about the small portion, just means I might be able to get two desserts after all.

I don't really think any of their appetizer menus are appealing. Not at dinner at least. I've enjoyed most of them, but they aren't things I would normally care to order.

This does not bode well for making the show. The problem is there is literally nothing else going on from 9-10. They are hustling but they are running behind tonight.
