escargot

[shark5]

Can someone confirm that escargot is available on the "always available" menu?

I opted for anytime dining and want to have escargot every night.

 

thanks

Not that I recall

[sunsetbeachgal]

In September of this year is was not listed on the Always Available menu. Escargot was offered as a special appetizer on one of the formal nights by our waiter.

It is not offered every night. However, on the first night if you ask your waiter if you could have it every night, they will most likely make it for you.

No its not.

You need to order it 24 hours in advance from your head waiter. :)

 

Enjoy!!

I have never seen it on the "Always available" side of the menu but have seen it on "French" night. As Colo says, just ask your waiter for it 24 hours in advance.

 

FYI, the menus in Anytime and Traditional dining are exactly the same. It doesn't matter which dining room you are in. However, it might make a difference if you have different waitstaff every night. Just be aware that the special order needs to be made with the Maitre d' and you should remind him when you are seated. Since they'll be preparing it specially for you, you should eat at the time you say you will the night you have the escargots.

That would be correct, it was never offered on the "always available".

I don't recall it ever being on the always available side and I'm also not sure it on the French night now either. But as I did last cruise I pre ordered it 24 hrs in advance for me but when it came the next night they prepared it for the whole table of six and not everyone wanted it.:)

On the Emerald last year, it was not on the menu. I mentioned it to our head waiter and we received it the next night. On the Crown in March, it was not on the menu but was a special appetizer that our waiter mentioned was available on the second formal night.

Hi There,

 

We had it on the chefs table, they were in pastry, different but nice.

Thanks, everyone, for the spirited discussion of escargot and its availability.

 

I am now super hungry! (I'm serious:)

 

I can hardly wait to have escargot on my next cruise.

 

Merci beaucoup!

And make sure the breadbasket is full when the escargot arrive (we usually tear into the breads when we sit down), as the buttery sauce they are in is divine and you must use the bread to dip in it!! :p

I'd order it just for the garlic butter it comes in. Forget the snails. :)

I am right there with you!

On a 10-dayer on the Sea, I was served them by request on the 2nd night. Our waiter said they'd be on the regular menu later in the cruise, but they weren't, to the best of my memory. Neither were they mentioned on formal night...

I guess it's gonna be difficult for me since I'm doing the anytime dining and probably will not get the same wait staff nor will I be able to book a standard time for dinner

 

ah well

 

thanks anyhow

a) Assuming you only want it one evening, ask a headwaiter at the start of the cruise which night it will be available to all diners even though it is not on the menu.

b) Order it the night he tells you it will be available.

[shark5]

yeah, but I wanted it every night...

 

 

thanks

If you end up using the same DR then just set it up for every night with the HW. No biggie. You just won't have it the first night. We always setup standing orders of 2 for the entire cruise. ;)

My wife on our last cruise ordered two salads for lunch at the dining room. I think she's a part time vegetarian.:p Anyway she ordered a smoke salmon salad and an escarole salad. When she looked at the escarole salad she looked at me and asked where are the escargots. I had a good laugh. By the way I had the osso buco on a bed of risotto. That was good.

I might have to try escargot...it's talked about on sooo many boards. Wait, I need a little help first:

the texture is like ...

the taste is like...

[helenb]

It's delicious! Like a slightly chewy portobello mushroom.

[tonyt]

It's the garlic butter sauce it comes in that makes it so delicious.

[Momma Mojito]

Just thought you might want to see a picture of the escargot. Sorry there is only one left and very little butter as you can see.. They were delicious.. I agree with all of you the best part is the garlic butter!!! Yummy
