[QUOTE]Originally posted by sojourner: [QB] Hi, I'm just back from my fall travels and will post of them elsewhere. I have now had the simplified menu several times. I find the breakfasts OK, except with the egg dishes or Continental breakfast, sometimes the only "bread" is a croissant (not even the biscuit alternative), which is very limiting. I wish there were toast. Also wish the fruit included a banana. (I don't see why they cannot have bananas and apples on the train, not to mention ice cream!) The lunch selection is very limited. I find the hamburgers bloody awful, and the gardenburgers worse. The chicken pizza is erratic, sometimes undercooked and inedible. The chicken thing, though, is tasty enough, as is the roll it's on--I recommend that. The beef tips, plain roast chicken, and catfish are your best bets for dinner, though if you are paying cash, I'd get the cheapest--prices are way too high. Dilly, the lamb (or pork) shanks are sometimes OK and sometimes awful--depends on if they are overcooked and dried out. The chicken-fried steak is occasionally OK but more often ice cold. The pasta dish has seemed very dried out and bad when I've seen it--I never ordered it myself--maybe that depends on how it's cooked. Worst of all was something call turkey tenderloin wrapped in bacon--it's pressed meat, very fake, avoid it at all costs. For starch vegetable, I liked the baked potato best. For the other vegetable, if corn is a choice, get that. Carrots and broccoli are rather blah but you can doctor them up with butter and pepper if you aren't on a diet. For dessert, I like the cheesecake best but the chocolate cake is OK too. They also offer fruit, same as the fruit for the Continental breakfast. [/QB][/QUOTE]
