Thread: Thanks but no thanks.

Taking a cruise is a wonderful way to try new kinds of food, but is there anything you would not try?

I voted for frogs legs, they just do not appeal.

Some of your items have me really wondering if I would try them Stephen, but since it's on a cruise, pretty much the only place where if you're not eating what you ordered they ask if something is wrong and bring you something else, I'd probably at least try each item if I was feeling adventurous

We had frog legs on our 2nd cruise. After ordering our entree's we ordered a plate of them for the table to share.

I didn't vote because they answer to the question for me is there's nothing I won't try on a cruise. I've tried some things I never thought I would ever eat, but after trying them, glad I did.

Never figured I would ever try escargot, but found out I actually like them.

One thing I tried while not on a cruise that I don't think I would try again and that is Vichyssoise - cold fish soup.

Pete, if your Vichyssoise tasted like fish then there was something very wrong with it! It is a potato leek soup that is traditionally served cold but is also excellent served hot. You should try it again.

I have tried and liked everything on the list with the exception of Black Pudding!

Black Pudding is a pudding made of curdled and boiled pig blood, mixed with chunks of pork fat (for texture and juiciness) and spices, then stuffed into a sausage casing.

No thank you! I don't think I could get it past my lips knowing what it's made from!

Haggis. Wouldn't try it on a bet. Better never see it on a cruise ship.

I agree, it is quite good! Now, I am not a fan of fish chowder but I like vichyssoise.

I clicked on many of the items. I actually have had rabbit -- I used to be involved with a guy whose father had a rabbit farm.

I'm a picky eater, and simply being on vacation wouldn't be a reason enough for me to try things. Also, I would be concerned about wasting the food if I didn't like it.
