Another Food Question

[lgt]

This will be our 1st Princess cruise and would like to know from all you experienced Princess cruisers which is your least favorite menu.

Everyone on this board has been very helpful and full of info. I really appreciate all your comments and hope we can sail together sometime in the future.

French menu

[roohound]

My least fave was French night..I'm not big on heavy tasting food (don't even get me started on frog legs LOL yes, I know they're considered a delicacy...just not in my world!) and I've previously stated my hatred for the pork served on French night ....blech

Welcome to Princess. I think that french nite is the one most cruisers bail out on. But imho, I like all the nites on Princess. They have wonderful choices. Always found something great!! http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Gee. I've truly never ordered anything I didn't like. (Well, the licorice liver mint ice cream wasn't all that special. http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif )

We are on the Golden 8/1. Anybody know which night is French night.? Just can't see my DH & 16 yr.old & frog legs. No way, nu-uh. Will try to make reservations somewhere else that night.

if only they didn't look like, well, frog legs LOL Reminds me of that Far Side where there were a bunch of legless frogs rolling around in wheelchairs!

[MaryPoppinz]

There are other dishes besides frog legs available on French night. There are always 5 entree choices, and a number of "always available" entrees. You'll probably be able to find something you like each night. Maybe someone can post a link to the menus, I've lost mine. That might help you decide in advance so that, if you can't find something one of the nights, you can make your reservations when you board.

True, but when you don't eat veal or seafood/fish, and you find the pork revolting, frog legs is pretty much it LOL

Seriously tho, even tho I may not care for the entrees on French night, the other parts of the meal were great! I have no issue with French night, per se, it's just my least favorite

French but we also found the landfall menu a bit short, being the last of the week didn't help much either. With the four pc venues on Diamond we just went to Sterling for another barge of prime rib, that soothed the pain of departure.

Personally I love the french onion soup. If I am not in the mood for french food I then go for the sirloin steak, or the salmon which is always served.

...another vote for french night being my least favorite.

What's not to like about French night. The escargots are delicious and the French onion soup is out of sight (demi-glace is part of the recipe, that's why it's so tasty). French cooking might not be everyone's favorite, but Princess does a very good job with that menu.

The disappointing menu in my opinion is the Italian night. They do such a good job on Italian dishes at lunch that it's disappointing to see such lackluster selections on the Italian menu. The Brasato is good, but other than that it's a humdrum collection of dishes.

I'm not saying they don't do a good job with French night...I'm just saying it's not what I like LOL

10-4 Roo. I'm on a mission for an improved Italian menu.

I do agree that the French onion soup is delicious, and it goes very well with a steak and baked potato.

I like frog legs, myself. And they really DO taste like chicken. I'm looking forward to them (Coral Princess 2/16/05).

Spongerob..if you need a supporter in the improved Italian night fight, let me know. That's right up there with French night. It has the potential to be so much more.

Druke LOL

I think that's one of the neat thing about cruising....at dinners who can have stuff you'd either never make at home or try something you've never had to see if you like it http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Don't you feel guilty about going to dinner on French night?

Salty Dawg, I loved your cartoon about frogs. I love frog legs but I haven't had them for many years. So if they have them on French night I may just try them. I don't like escargot. I have tried them remind me of rubberbands cooked in garlic butter.

Thanks for the cartoon and the laugh. I think of this every time I see frog legs on a menu.

We always enjoy dining room dinners on Princess. One of the things I like most about cruising is being waited on -- therefore, I skip buffet dinners. The food and selections are very decent; we're never or rarely disappointed. I would only expect better if my cruise fare went way way up.
