FManke Posted May 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Well, I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that we have something interesting from time to time, in Oct. I know that RC is going through a menu revamp, so maybe they will add a few new items to the WJ breakfast choices. DocLC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might not be so bad for those who travel with Royal occasionally, but after spending three weeks onboard each year of the past several years I'm ready for a change. This isn't to say that the food is bad as I find it to be generally good. I'd just like to see something new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"but after spending three weeks onboard each year of the past several years"......how can I get a job like that? I'm retired, on a fixed income and in good shape. Well, that's my opinion....she-who-must-be-obeyed doesn't agree with me on that last point. DocLC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careful budgeting, working extra to add to the "vacation" fund, and shopping diligently for the best airfare possible. For example, we were able to fly roundtrip last summer to Europe for under $700 on British Airlines on an open-jaw ticket. We also opt to cruise in the cheapest, midship, inside cabin as it is usually a couple of thousand less, which allows us to cruise more often. On one cruise, we downgraded from a balcony cabin to an inside, and the savings was enough to pay for our week long cruise on the Liberty of the Seas.

When I was on active duty in the US Army, I had a one year tour of duty in Korea. Fell in deep, deep love with their food. Unfortunately there are no Korean restaurants where I live in NC. Look around any military base. I think there are about three Korean restaurants near Ft. Bragg / Fayetteville. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're correct Bill. There are a boat load of Korean rest. around Ft. Bragg. I retired at Ft. Bragg over 20 years ago and enjoyed them. Unfortunately, here in New Bern the best we have is a small Korean/Japanese food store. Fayetteville is 2.5 hours away and we don't travel there.

My stepdad is part Korean, so when I was younger we always had kimchi around the house. Eggs, kimchi, and rice was a popular breakfast at our house, and I still love it! Why?!?! Why has no one told me of this kimchi and eggs dish until now? Why?!? So many days of my life wasted. FManke and KLA 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that somewhere in Grand Ledge, or a larger city nearby, you might be able to find already prepared kimchi. Surely you can find eggs. Word of caution, kimchi is VERY fragrant and will stink up your fridge and kitchen! But, it is worth it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other side of Lansing is East Lansing, home of some fairly important university from what I understand. I've been to two Korean restaurants there, and have purchased kimchi at a local market. In fact there's a place near my house where the proprietor makes her own for sale, surely without the proper permits and such. And it's fantastic. It's the marriage with eggs that is blowing my mind.

Scrambled eggs are the perfect medium to add anything spicy to me. I've been know to heat up some dal mahkani and top it with some scrambled eggs with hot roti on the side.

Dow Jones Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 I believe kimchi can be helpful for Norovirus problem on cruise ships since it has Lactobaccilus kimchi from ancient China 1000 BC a unique kind known to kill even Helicobacter pylori that is hard to kill. It does not have Sauerkraut smell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
