Good to know but on our 28 days cruise last October it was on the menu (nearly) every night, no need for a special order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said I have been following the menus on the Nieuw Statendam as we will be sailing on her next month and been very sorry to see hardly any fruit crisp offerings. I hope you have not been influencing the chefs on HAL to replace my beloved fruit crisp with your beloved bread pudding. I might even need to put in a special request with of course double portion of creme anglais instead of ice cream (have to watch my weight). I'm just telling you what I've seen during our December cruise on the Nieuw Statendam and our upcoming one on the Rotterdam. It's a bread puddin' party of the first order on the MDR dinner dessert menu. For the record, I'm team fruit crisp. The only one I've seen in the rotation is rhubarb. I happen to like rhubarb, as does my wife, but it trails far behind the apple, blueberry, and cherry varieties in terms of popularity here in the US. I also enjoy a scoop of vanilla ice cream, strictly for the calcium content. (Don't want to have brittle bones now that I'm on life's downslope.) 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infi Posted March 24 #30 Share Posted March 24 On my last few sailings, I have also seen bread pudding offered nightly on the MDR dinner menu. There was only 1-2 varieties, including a Jamaican rum iteration that I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Haljo1935 Posted March 24 #31 Share Posted March 24 We order the breakfast croissant bread budding w/o pomegranate seeds from room service w/our pre-breakfast coffee. It's warm, heaven in a bowl. Warning - it might be addictive. That was a great discovery on NS last fall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The banana fruit crisp was odd - strange texture and just "off." Even the scoop of ice cream didn't help. All the others were good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare POA1 Posted March 24 #33 Share Posted March 24 Tonight's Rotterdam MDR bread pudding is chocolate hazelnut with a vanilla rum sauce. Again, not showing on the Lido menu. Perhaps the MDR bread puddin' is a reward for putting on long pants. 😉 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess, as it goes with all good things, greedy people ruined it for everyone. I know I saw passengers approach the liqueurs at that station, glass in hand, and proceed to pour themselves a drink. No doubt that kind of behavior helped shut down the ice cream topping choices. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, tonight on the Rotterdam, they have Sticky Toffee Bread Pudding with Crème Anglaise. You had me at Sticky Toffee Pudding.... Has anyone had this? Does it taste like the "real deal" (if you're familiar with the real deal....)? Edited March 25 by cruisemom42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rotterdam is on the 12 day cycle right now and we join for the 9 day on Friday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare POA1 Posted March 25 #44 Share Posted March 25 Today on the Rotterdam, Blueberry Croissant Bread Pudding with warm vanilla rum sauce.
