Florida_gal_50 Posted July 5, 2023 #27 Share Posted July 5, 2023 I'm in an all day offsite for work today (ugggg) but one upside was that we had veal cutlet, red cabbage and saurkraut for lunch. They must have heard us talking. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not aimed at anyone at all. It was more of an observation about how things sometimes go here. I was initially worried that I was going to find out the the schnitzel was kaput because no one but me liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackduck59 Posted July 6, 2023 #33 Share Posted July 6, 2023 I had veal cutlets for a late lunch today. I enjoyed it very much, of course it would have been much better had they pounded it thin (hence cutlet not schnitzel), it was served with mashed potatoes and a rich brown gravy with onions and mushrooms. The best part was that they grilled it on a flat top not deep fried. Coincidently I happened to see an old friend I knew years ago at the local German Club, that woman knew how to make schnitzel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare shipshape sam Posted July 6, 2023 #35 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Well now I will have to go to Rudi's at least a couple of times! I love the Dover Sole and now will want to try the Wiener schnitzel and who know what else.😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ottahand7 Posted July 6, 2023 #36 Share Posted July 6, 2023 It is one of my favorites on Holland America. I order it almost every time it offered. First photo from the Volendam with a mushroom sauce and the second was on the Nieuw Statendam on our NS balcony. I am hungry now. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it’s done right, it’s seriously delicious — for one who enjoys seafood. Kind of expensive to take a chance, though. DH says I’ll never learn. 🤷♀️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if people go for that they hit the mark. I do prefer fish and chicken over beef. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare albingirl Posted July 9, 2023 #43 Share Posted July 9, 2023 I have fish for dinner probably 5 nights a week. In my opinion, the dover sole in Rudi's is top shelf. Yes, there is the show and all that, but the fish is fresh and light, just as it should be. I cook it frequently at home, but without that fun flair in the restarant lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the Wiener part that would suggest veal. Just as a "Jagarschnitzel" (hunter schnitzel) is served with a mushroom gravy. I hope it shows up on our 11 day cruise at the end of August, I would definitely order it. While Wiener Schnitzel is veal in the real world, on HAL it is port (a lot cheaper than veal). That being said, when we were on the Westerdam from March-May, it was served more than once and was quite good. I imagine if HAL now puts real veal on the menu there will be some kind of add-on such as $19.95 + 18%. DW, who is my personal chef, often uses thin port cutlets in place of veal. For us it is not so much a matter of cost, but of quality. Where we live, finding high quality veal in our normal supermarket is not going to happen. We would need to go to a decent butcher (which can be found in some of our "farmers markets" or drive some distance to a Wegman's. Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida_gal_50 Posted July 9, 2023 #45 Share Posted July 9, 2023 (edited) Now cooking port is a real talent 😛🤪. When I find veal in the supermarket where I live it’s not crazy expensive. Probably no more than boneless chicken breasts. Maybe less. Edited July 9, 2023 by Florida_gal_50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some people just prefer the denser types of fish -- like halibut. I always prefer the lighter, more delicate types of fish and agree, the Dover sole in Rudi's is as good as it gets in that category -- buttery and crisped around the edges. Wish I had a cruise planned on a Pinnacle-class ship to enjoy a Rudi's dinner. Will have to make do with some of that excellent schnitzel. 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The halibut was very good in club orange but it's not good in the pinnacle. It's easy to not cook fish well I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare POA1 Posted July 9, 2023 Author #48 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Can I just say, once again, how glad I am that so many people find the schnitzel to be spektakulär. The Dover sole discussion is a bonus. That's one of my two choices for Rudi's. The other is the Tournadoes Rossini. I'm leaning toward the fish. DW is all in on the lamb. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
