Post Cruise--What food item you can't wait to eat when you get home?

Dill pickles.

Although sometimes I put a pile of pickles from the grill in a bowl and eat them onboard, they just aren't the same.

We live in San Antonio so when we get home it is off to one of our favorite Mexican restaurants for a good Mexican (not TexMex) dinner followed by a couple weeks of Mexican food for dinner at home. I love the spicy food and find the ship food to be a bit bland.

Lucky Charms- Don't judge- they are magically delicious!!!

macaroni and cheese with bacon.

chorizo street tacos and carnitas

Farmhouse Cheshire cheese. The "plastic" cheese on board is horrible.

I am a pretty healthy chef at home, I like to roast and sautee veggies without oil and eat over plain rice. So for me I guess I miss my "boring" food. I do also like lots of hot sauce!!

Only a "bit" bland? Princess has no idea what "spicy" means! I like their food for the most part but I really do wish they had some spicy dishes.

You just have to go to the Platinum and Elite lounge on the night they have the Stilton. :)

Yuk. Absolutely hate blue cheese, although my DH does.

Totally agree. Suppose because it's basically mass catering, they go with the middle ground, ie bland

The absolutely first thing we did when we arrived at the Vancouver airport after our Alaska cruise was to find a STARBUCKS and finally enjoy a cup of really good coffee!!!!!!! This is NOT a joke! I do not understand why ships of several fleets sail without decent coffee to drink on board. For gosh sakes this is the 21st century.

I also miss potato chips while on board.

I've found potato chips on Holland America and Royal Caribbean. And I was one happy camper

Definitely Buffalo Wings. The spicier the better.

I have seen them on occasion while on a cruise but they are not worth the calories there because they're nasty.

A strong cheddar and Marmite sandwich and then down to the pub for a couple of pints of proper, English, cask-conditioned bitter (Youngs, Fullers or Shepherd Neame are all within crawling distance).

First meal off the ship, Mexican food such as a Carnitas Platter...don't have a huge appetite after all the food shipboard but really miss good Mexican fare.

As for a single item? Be they bangers or 'American' style link pork sausages, our 15 day Royal TA last Fall yielded up some nasty sawdusty replicas, good on first bite with a promising snap and fair seasoning, then a pasty suet and flour filler at the end. Meh :cool:

We have done a Thanksgiving cruise the last two years. I love the food in the MDR but Princess's Chefs have zero idea about American Thanksgiving Dinner, so It's a real turkey dinner for us and pumpkin pie.

Buffalo seitan or tempeh fajitas. I'm usually starved for protein and tired of eating pasta and curry by the time I disembark.

Mexican and Chinese when I get home from a cruise.

The International Cafe has the best selection of donuts I've ever come across.

On our first cruise as a couple, all we could think of on the way home was comfort food. It was cold, so the choice was chicken and dumplings. Did I mention we are from the south?

Princess makes some of the worst pumpkin pie I've ever tasted but no complaints about their turkey legs. ;)

By the time I get home, I'm tired of eating . . . yuk :eek: :D

I was wondering if anyone else would say that. I'm the same :)

Are you guys kidding, you CANNOT be serious!! Miss food that I have to shop for, prepare, cook, and wash dishes after? HA!! Not one single thing. NOT ONE!!!

I totally agree!!!

Same as when this was first posted in 2006 -- Pulled pork with a South Carolina Mustard based BBQ sauce. :)

Where's the like button?

One of the first things i want is a cold beer with some fried catfish fillets, garlic mashed potatoes, some coleslaw & some texas toast. Then after i wake up from my nap from being full i want some warm peach cobbler and french vanilla ice cream then a class of cold milk to wash it down. After that i will sit down for a while and wonder how and why i stuffed myself like that when i was on a diet !!!! I guess i can start the diet tomorrow, "right"? (-:
