Weird thing on twice baked goat cheese souffle

[Sea Hag]

On our sailing last week on the Sky, the twice baked goat cheese souffle was offered as a main, rather than a starter. We've always gotten it as a starter, and last week we ordered it as one anyhow. It was somewhat larger than the version we've gotten in the past but not that much larger. My hubby said that he would have been very unhappy with the portion size if he'd ordered it as a main.

Yes, I had seen another post showing the menu and mentioned that.  Seems odd to me for sure.  I guess we'd order one as appetizer and share it.

It was switched to a main with the new menus.

It's been a main since the end of last year. If you are unhappy with the portion size, that's the great thing about cruising, you can order another.  Less food waste as many have four course meals and don't need a huge main.

What is the weird thing on it?

Don't you find it weird that they would take an item that's always been a starter and offer it as a main instead? I, for one, have never seen that happen before.

Not if there were a lot of people just ordering that for their main course and no other actual "main" dish.

Solution: “I would like to start with the Twice Baked Goat Cheese Soufflés as my first course, and for my main course I would like [insert dish of choice].”  Problem solved.

Seems weird to have it as a main course. 

Now people just eat a portion of it  followed by a main course. 

It just encourages more waste.

When I read the title (Weird thing on twice baked goat cheese souffle) my first thought was that there is something weird served on top of the souffle now.

I thought it was hard core cruiser slang they use when they want to keep the conversation among themselves.

As long as it's the same, nothing changed but the size. I love this so maybe will get as a main dish that could work for me s I don't even finish the smaller one, just skip something else like dessert. Looking forward to this as long as not on the same night as pork belly.

Maybe a dollop of the now-retired Fettuccini Alfredo? 🤣

I had this last week as a starter.  Ate every bit of it. Then used a dinner roll to sop up the sauce.  They did not even need to wash that plate.

That's what we did, and I think I said that in the first post. 

 

Edit: I looked back, and I didn't really make it clear in the first post that we'd done exactly that.

You definitely know the correct way to eat this!

I eat at least 2 goat cheese souffle appetizers as appetizers. No waste here. I even lick the plate.

Oh, and I always regret ordering only two. Since we sail on Princess once a year at the most, and they don't even have this souffle on all of their sailings, I just don't get enough of this dish!

We like this so much we now make it at home when we feel withdrawals from cruising...using a recipe posted here on CC

The good news is that Fettunccini Alfredo is still available. It's not on the menu except as an appetizer some days, but you can ask for it any day and they will make it. My husband had it on the Sky last month a couple of times,

Phew! 🙂

I was presented with a non-dairy version as an appetizer.  DW ordered one as a main.  She was pleased, but has a small appetite and recognizes that many would be disappointed.  Here is a picture of hers.

It depends on what ship you were on. Not all ships moved to the new menus until this year.
