The greatest meal never eaten

I was watching a re-run of Heston Blumenthal Feasts on TV last night when I caught an Edwardian episode about the Titanic that I had missed the first time around. I wont go too much into details on the show, I’m sure you’ve seen it before and this is meant to be a blog about cruising rather than TV, but it got me thinking about how much dining had changed onboard over the last hundred years or so.

And before I get lynched by a lot of angry cruisers, I’m in no way saying the quality of the food has changed, just the style. But how much of a difference does the style/presentation of the cooking really make? Is a steak just a steak?

A great recipe for cruising

 I was looking at some of the menus for the different cruise lines today, just before my lunch, thinking how delicious they all looked. It got me thinking about how many people rave about the food when they got back and I thought it might be nice to post a couple of recipes for you to enjoy and reminisce over. Or if you’ve got a cruise booked to whet your appetites. Most of these recipes are available on line but being a bit of an amateur chef I’ve put my own twist on them, you’ll have to let me know if it makes them total inedible.
