What is the best food on Brittany Ferries?

 Brittany Ferries has three areas open to all.

Basic Bar food and breakfast on Brittany Ferries, But Brilliant Romantic Dinner in the Blue Azul Restaurant.

A private premium lounge locks away the frequent travellers in a lounge which requires an annual subscription. The drivers of the Porches and Ferraris disappeared in there.

The truck drivers and motorbikers with tattoos of skulls were happily waiting for the bar to open. Later they were cheering the football goals on TV.

I was taking the art tour, and taking photos of the art work, food and drink.

Bar

You can buy bar food including sandwiches, snacks and drinks. This is in the main area around the staircase, where the quizzes and evening singing entertainment take place. With TV screens showing the news and football finals.

Cafeteria

The cafeteiria has artwork on the walls. If you get there early in the morning you can secure a window seat at breakfast tie and keep that for much of the morning.

I found the sausage very rubbery. The croissant was not up to the standard of my freshly cooked hot croissant every morning at Tesco Express in London. Surprising, as the ship is French.

Azul Restaurant

We booked the Azul Restaurant for dinner on the way out and the way back.

The dinner in the Restaurant Azul was a different class of cooking. I listened to a group of Indians discussing investing in property.

Children were kept away from diners in glass-sided, sound-poofed playroom on one side of the restaurant.

Dinner started with a huge and delicious buffet, boiled eggs cut in half, smoked salmon, salads, nuts. The two buffets were not identical. My husband went right and got smoked salmon. Luckily he was willing to share it with me.

You could also buy food and bottles of wine in the duty free shop to eat in your cabin or save in a cool box. There's no fridge in the bedrooms, at least not in the inside cabins which we booked. When we booked late in the year, all the other cabins were already taken.

Italian novelties. Wines, food and festivals - including a white chocolate Xmas tree

Image
New wines and food from Italy  . Opportunity for distributors in the UK. Restaurants and hotels. Find something unique which nobody yet has to offer the customer. My favourite item was a green xmas tree from a cones of  white chocolate with a green pistacchio flavour coating.  Unfotunately I was not able to take a photo. But here's one I found on the web. White chocolate covered with pistacchios. From Turin which has been a centre of chocolate making for centuries. This is not available now, in May, but something to look out for at Christmas time. But it's good to plan buying or stocking a shop or restaurant. The big supermarkets order specialities up to a year ahead. I saw a giant solid wheel of yellow cheese, with the centre carved out into small chunks by keen eaters. Great eye-catching idea for serving at a party, a wedding or on a restaurant trolley. Items I saw included giant green olives. Bottles of yellow or white, viscous olive oil. Favourite Food From Italy chocolates

Wine and dine in Wales on Welsh Honey, Whisky and Chocolate

Image
 Wales has wonderful food, the familiar Welsh lamb from the green valleys, watered by the Westerlies, the winds coming in from the sea. I used to drive every year from London to Wales along the M4 which took about four and a half hours.  I have also been on the train from Paddington station many times. It is exciting to get on a train and see the signs in English and Welsh (which I have been learning on Duolingo). On the way home I buy Welsh cakes on the train. They look like squashed scones. If only I could keep them until I get home and heat them up. Swansea Seaweed But Wales also offers the unusual, seaweed from Swansea, which as the city's name suggests, is on the coast.  Welsh Wine and Alcohol Dylan Thomas was well known for enjoying a drink or two or more at Welsh pubs (short for public houses). You can buy a mug for your tea, bearing his picture. Wales has a magnificent building named in his honour and an annual festival. Driving Drive to Wales from London along the M4, pass

Wine Labels Words Translated from French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese

Image
  Wine labels tell you about the style of wine, its colour, white, black, red, pink, orange. Sometimes the grape, the proportion of grapes in a blend, the flavour (such as a fruit or nut). The country, or specified place of origin, the district, or the vineyard. In some countries the division is within the owner's land, the owner, the maker, or co-operative, the importer.  You learn whether it is dry or sweet, the sugar content. You may also learn whether it is vegan (without using egg white to clarify or cling to impurities such as the sediment of bits of wine skin or stalk or debris), Kosher may be mentioned, or kosher for Passover (around Easter time in the Jewish religion). Alsace - region of North Eastern France, at one time German, so a mixture of French and German names and words on bottles botas - cases in Spanish clos was originally a walled vineyard, closed, and enclosure, but the walls have often disappeared and the name is not regulated so anybody can call their patch o
