Cruise Food..

[JoeyandDavid]

On cruises it seems most are impressed with the "food"...

This question is simple .. when it comes to the evening meal.....

What is your favorite appitizer...?

I always look forward to the escargot. I only have it on cruises. Of course, shrimp cocktail is always acceptable.

Mine is definitely shrimp cocktail. I have never ordered escargot, and really, can't face it. We have so many snails outside on our walkway that I have managed to crush while walking barefoot (imagine the squishing/crackling they make underfoot the next time you're eating one)...good grief, I couldn't imagine eating them! LOL!

Royal Caribbeans vadalia onion tart is one of my all time favorites followed closely by their mushroom puffed pastry.

Always the escargot...and I don't care that I've squished literally millions. Once, eating with that delightful Captain Richard Brearley on the Radiance, his menu didn't include escargot, a French lady and I dining with him, complained. He also said he preferred escargot. "Well, Richard, why is only shrimp cocktail on your menu then?" He responded, "You're right," and called over his waiter. Most of the table ( him included ) immediately ordered the escargot. I finished off mine and Kashin immediately brought me the second one I had previously told him I wanted. Captain Richard looked at me and said, "Wow, I would eat a second one." I just looked at him and said, "You're the captain...you could have ordered a dozen!"

The other appetizer I really like with RCI is the scallop risotto...it's yummy.

Definately Vidalia Onion Tart and shrimp cocktail.

I remember, years ago, taking a night Spanish class at Skyline College in San Bruno, CA. It was always so wierd going to class, as it was usually fogged in after 5PM and you'd cross a broad expanse of grass, almost covered with slimy European brown snails ( that's what we have in CA and Sunset Magazine once ran an article on how to prepare them from scratch for your appetizers - nope, not me...I buy them in the cans and fix them! ). I always was afraid I would slip as I crunched them under my feet...I figured, if that happened, no one would ever see me again...the snails would have a feeding frenzy and I would end up being just a Carmen puddle on the grass campus. Some picture, huh!
