Favorite Buffet Item

[sealeggs]

The mashed potatoes with brown gravy. I will get a bowl of it each day. To me it is really good. I know it sounds silly but i like it.

[poocher]

Oh my husband & son will grab a plate of mashed potatoes and have them ladle whatever stew is on the menu on top.  I swear you could make the stew out of yak & they’d eat it over those mashed potatoes!

Not sure how to describe it but it's the best fried chicken ever!! RCL used to serve at the Windjammer on embarkation day.

I only eat roast chicken .

I love back bacon (what you probably call Canadian Bacon), but this pealmeal stuff with the cornbread coating sounds a little odd.  If I'm ever in southern Ontario I'll give it a try.

 

Although my favourite is just the good old fashioned regular strips of bacon that you are used to.  

 

 

Back bacon is smoked and peameal is the loin just rolled in cornmeal.  They sometimes have English bacon which is a lean cut of bacon and very good.

I love when the WJ has an omelet station for breakfast.  I love my eggs in the morning...either scrambled or an omelet...and those eggs that are premade just don't cut if for me.  Way too watery.

I've never seen the bread pudding.  Honestly, I've never looked for it because I didn't know they had it. Where is it usually located?

I am apparently on the wrong side of the country for the peameal bacon (from BC) but would love to try it.   You all have gotten me very interested. 🙂

Got this in an email today.  On RCCL I don't have a problem with any of them except 1 and 6. 

 

1.  I don't eat bait

6.  I don't like anybody touching my plate or food, nobody, not even family. 

 

At the end of the article, there is a link for how to eat healthily on a ship.  Man O man, I guess they don't get the point of a cruise.  LOL

I usually slow roast it on the bbq then slice it up for sandwiches or just on it's own with a salad.  A nice honey mustard sauce and that is heaven on a plate.

I am addicted to the stuff but they've skimped on the crystal sugar topping lately.  I bring my own believe it or not.

That is a great idea, I do have this in my pantry.

Call me crazy but I don’t eat breakfast at home but I particularly look forward to one buffet item on every cruise.  Corn beef hash, especially with a runny yolk “sunny side up” egg or two.

I enjoy whatever Indian food is offered at lunch.  Especially if Naan bread is offered also.

Breakfast is smoked salmon, onion and capers and also the delicious raisin bread.

 

Lunch is definitely the lamb and chicken curries, fried fish & chips and also the various bread puddings and vanilla sauce.

 

Dinner faves are shrimp, ceviche and also the stir fry's.

"IF" they have bread pudding it's usually on an end station and will have a vanilla sauce next to it...usually never by the desserts...Crazy...cause to me it's dessert !!

[Candleonwater]

Anyone know what vegan options they might offer in WJ for breakfast?  Also, any idea if they still offer wheatgrass shots? We're on Freedom in a couple weeks.

My husband loves the lox & bagels, I love the muesli & cant forget the nice think slices of the raisin bread.  Eggs.....meh. I can make that at home.

I think it's because there's no heating element by the deserts and the pudding and sauce is kept warm.

[The Fun Researcher]

Looking forward to the bread pudding.  One of the only desserts that I actually enjoy.  Just not a rich, sweets person but for some reason bread pudding speaks to me. 🙂

[Woodmnky]

My favorites are assorted cheeses and fresh fruits. I know these are simple, but I love a variety of cheeses and don't buy them much at home. I also love a having a large variety of fruits to choose from, especially ones that I don't have to cut.

Favorite buffet item - breakfast - two eggs over medium, with a "small" side of ...

[mil76]

Banger sausages.  Spent a bunch of my youth in England and this was my favorite food.  You can't really find them in AZ, much less the ones that actually taste like English bangers. I pair them up with the mashed potatoes and I'm good to go.  Now if they would just put out some mushy peas I'd be in heaven.

I have to limit myself to just two eggs.  They're high in cholesterol. 😉

[poocher]

Yup, I often skip the eggs for that very reason!

[grossnmoe]

My favorite is the crepes station during dinner.  I really hope they haven't stopped this.
