点评:On the 0720 ferry from Tarbert on the isle of Harris to Uig in Skye, I was keen to sample Caledonian Macbrayne's 'Big Scottish Breakfast. For £11.95, you choose eight items from their menu.
The famed Stornoway black pudding, Scottish Lorne sausage, portobello mushrooms et al.
All sounds absolutely yummy. Scrambled egg was not on display, but arrived, on request, from the galley.
Except whoever cooked it had completely overdone it. Not just the eggs. Everything. Plus it was lukewarm at best. Not freshly cooked as I had hoped, being among the first in the queue. Now I love my grub, but this was completely inedible, dried out, and had been cooked goodness knows how long before service.
As a former supply officer/purser at sea, I would have had strong words with any of my staff who served up such poor fare.
When Senior Catering Assistant Donna cleared my table, she was most apologetic. I asked to speak to the chief steward, but he or she was 'not up yet'. But I could speak to Duncan, the assistant, at the till.
Not at all my thing. But telling it here to warn others absolutely is.
翻译:早上7点20分,我从哈里斯岛的塔伯特搭乘渡轮前往斯凯岛的尤伊格。我兴致勃勃地想尝尝卡莱多尼亚·麦克布雷恩餐厅的“苏格兰大早餐”。11.95英镑,你可以从菜单上任选八道菜。
著名的斯托诺韦黑布丁、苏格兰洛恩香肠、波托贝罗蘑菇等等。
听起来都非常美味。炒蛋没有摆在柜台上,而是应要求从厨房送来的。
然而,做炒蛋的人完全失手了。不只是鸡蛋,而是所有食材都过火了。而且,它最多也只是温的。我排在队伍的最前面,本以为能吃到新鲜出炉的,结果却并非如此。我平时很爱吃,但这道菜实在难以下咽,干巴巴的,而且不知道是什么时候做的。
作为一名曾经的海上补给官/事务长,如果我的员工端出如此糟糕的饭菜,我一定会严厉批评他们。
高级餐饮助理唐娜收拾我的桌子时,连连道歉。我要求见总管,但他/她“还没上班”。不过我可以跟收银员邓肯谈谈。
我本来就不爱说这些。但在这里说出来提醒其他人,我绝对愿意。
