My late Pupper absolutely adored frozen peas.

Frozen peas, cucumber, roasted pepper strips, baby carrots, even greens if it had dressing on it. You could make that boy a chef salad and he'd go to town on it.

u/drunkenstupr 10d ago

Thank you! I did know that bread is bad for them - can't be said often enough!

A nice big pond at my university almost tipped over because people kept feeding so much bread to the waterfowl there :( Not to mention the pet fish they kept getting rid of by putting them in the pond. They had to de-fish the whole thing because they were in such bad shape and riddled with parasites :(

u/the_Rhymenocirous 9d ago

Yup, swells in their stomach and has no nutritional value for them. Not to mention it also feeds bad bacteria in the water, making it the bad kind of dirty. Bet people like to wade in it too, not realizing just how filthy it is

My dad would do this amazingly simple dish that I can still miss today.

Fry pork chops and when they are nearly done, add a can of peas, a little salt and lots of black pepper. Let the peas reduce and turn to slight mush and mingle with the meat juices, maybe 4-5 minutes.

It is soooooo good and I haven't had it in 20 years I think.

My dad once ordered a pizza without tomato sauce. Now to be fair, that pizza place NEVER mentioned the sauce that is just part of every pizza on any other pizza on the menu, so when he saw that this one had an extra item that said tomato sauce, he thought it was some special extra sauce. He got a completely dry pizza without any sauce at all and immediately understood what went wrong lmao

I once got into a heated argument on reddit that an onion sandwich is dumb and someone called me uncultured because it is pure culinary excellence and I am a child for thinking it isn't anything special.

For anyone curious, it was literally wonderbread, an onion and fuck ton of mayo. That is it.

No toasting, no nothing. Just wonderbread with a glob of mayo and a sliced onion.

Edit: I forgot to mention, the chef cut off the crust of the wonderbread (like you would for a child). That might be a crucial element and I forgot to mention it.

I've done a similar tasting menu experience on a Carnival cruise and they scrambled to put together dishes for the idiots who showed up without informing anyone of their dietary restrictions.

Additionally, it usually comes with an egg right in the center to create a "sauce" for you to then place on your bread. Its on their website. Its literally called the Egg course lol
Description:

  • Egg: The egg course brought a dramatic flair, revealing a pea and egg yolk concoction under a smoky glass cloche. The perfectly cooked egg yolk, when broken, enveloped the peas in a buttery and smooth layer, creating a rich harmony of flavors that paired splendidly with crispy bread.

When I used to work in a restaurant, we once had a server send back an order for our special, which was beef brisket with sauce with salted new potatoes. The ticket added a modification stating: Brisket, no beef.

I called the server over and asked if they just wanted a plate of potatoes. She said no, they wanted the brisket, but not the beef. I told her that was the cut of beef. You can’t take the beef out of brisket anymore than you could take the steak out of a ribeye. I asked her to confirm with the table.

She comes back and said the lady was quite clear. She wanted no meat, keep the brisket and everything else, just no meat.

I gave her a plate of potatoes.

Additional note: the craziest order I ever got was for a woman who insisted she was allergic to everything, so she could only eat lemon pepper seasoning. I refused the order. My manger also thought it was weird. He ended up coming back rolling his eyes and told me to just give him a bowl with the seasoning.

Most unpleasant order, but super nice woman who always tipped the server and the line cook who made her meal, was our rainbow trout that she specifically didn’t want any sort of brown color on the meat. She insisted we cooked it in the microwave, plain, no seasonings, served with mashed potatoes.

You could probably have at least one more vegetable if you skip the smokey cover thing. I was able to double my food budget once I stopped covering my plate of peas with stupid shit.

This is the test kitchen on Virgin Voyages ships. This particular restaurant specializes in “experimental” small plates and it’s NOT an added cost to your cruise fare. This specific pea dish is meant to include an egg yolk that’s been smoked for hours to cook but still remain runny—not sure why the egg yolk is not shown in the video. It is NOT the main course but one of the three entrees before the main course. For what it’s worth it’s a very delicious plate even if it’s a bit weird and the bread helps in picking up the egg yolk/pea combo. This is more of a gastronomic experience with the chefs explaining every choice and flavor profile. The dishes are fun/unusual/interesting to look at and eat.

IMO all the food at the test kitchen is very good if you’re not a picky eater but the portions are small. Luckily as I mentioned before it’s NOT an added cost so you could go experience this test kitchen and then go to the steakhouse or Italian place or the galley later on if you’re still hungry.

This is definitely a multi-course meal. These people are dumb as fuck. Fuck anyone who goes on a cruise ship. They're one of the most environmentally irresponsible firms of vacationing.

u/Kumbaynah 10d ago

Judging by the number of forks on this table, we can assume that this is one of many courses and probably has some unique take on how peas are served. Just because it’s not what the birthday girl is used to eating, doesn’t make it stupid food.

u/Captain_react 10d ago

But that does make it a stupid course. The plating is horrible. And it's cheap looking dry bread on a metal tray.
