rt63 Posted September 10, 2006 #1 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I loved the favorite menu item thread, it got me salivating for my next cruise... but as I was thinking about my favorites, I remember some really great meals I've had in different parts of the world. So I'd like to nominate a few of my favorite meals (and snacks) that are NOT CURRENTLY ON CARNIVAL'S MENU (as far as I know)... are you listening, Georges Blanc and Carnival? 1. Roasted pork knuckle, german style - http://www.kitchenproject.com/german/recipes/EisBein.htm 2. Snacking olives and dates (great with a poolside beer) 3. Moroccan style pancakes served with honey, dates, figs, and orange preserves 4. Australian meat pies, Canadian Tourtiere, or the British steak & kidney pies... anything loaded with gravy and beef! 5. Real dim sum - steamed dumplings, rice, and assorted savory items 6. BBQ brisket Anyone else care to add their favorites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lhall85917 Posted September 10, 2006 #5 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Unless I missed it on Valor last year, I wish they had Baked Alaska. I'd love to try it! Maybe someone can let me know if it has been on the Legend menu and give me something to look forward to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmberTeka Posted September 12, 2006 #22 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Popcorn--you must have read my mind. On the Glory--they are very good about popping out little baskets of pretzel type snacks the few times I visited a bar. Popcorn would have been divine. And it is cheap. The NCL Jewel has a seperate children's buffet in a section of their Lideo Deck. This helps speed the line because children--and their parents-- go there and not the main lines. Also some child less adults go there to get fish sticks, chicken strips, mac and cheese, cole slaw, corn dogs, french fries, cookies,pudding, spaghetti--other good simple stuff. I found myself there several times and my child is 25. Lasagna at dinner. Real Fried Chicken for dinner slicked roast beef--well done Spaghetti with meat balls at dinner Ravioli at dinner PrePared Hero Sandwiches which could be picked up to avoid long lines at lunch. ditto for cold salad tuna and chicken salad plates. More fish and chips. More hamburgers. More french fries. More cookies like the wonderful ones they sell in Creams. Overall--the food on Carnival is good. I feel piggish ordering several entres and threatened my DH. But the family we sat with ordered like mad and on Thursday night DH was unable to avoid a double order of shrimp. I still think it is hoggish and very not classy. If one is overcome with hungar after dinner, they could stagger up to the Buffet deck or the pool deck and there find a cure. Hearing folks yell out "Bring me one of those too" when my single scoop of chocolate ice cream is served urked me good. I expect a cruise dinner to be a pleasant dining experience with my husband--not a descent into gluttony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustRambling Posted September 12, 2006 #25 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I have to agree with the person who mentioned the Japanese Habachi-style food. Also love the Thai food suggestion. My 8yr. old would love to have seen Mac and Cheese on the kids menu. My kids would also say more shrimp items would be a plus. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
