Given that its all about food..What your QE2 food story....
I miss the late night BLTs and fries..then again the breakfast cinammon toast was something else..
But the fruit soups were always a goto on the menu.

I have voted - with great difficulty!  You could make a complete "QE2 Food Calendar" out of that lot.

I was reminded of the QE2 Gala Buffet on a cruise on MSC Melody in 2005 and the thought sprang to my mind..Leg or breast ;)
They allowed a period for taking photos, then it was a free for all.

Anybody remember Bobby from the Pavillion, he was do fruit carvings . a very talented guy. and always a joy to see .

Eight people have voted so far and a couple of photos are edging forward with the most votes. 

If you are on a diet enjoy choosing your favourite in the knowledge that there are no extra calories involved.   :D

  • QE2 started a dream to go to sea - now a reality!
The Main Course at Lunch photo particularly brings back happy memories as I often had deliciously cooked fish when onboard QE2.

Needless to say I have voted!
First sailed on QE2 in August 2003 aged 6 years old. Last sailed on QE2 in July 2008. Last saw the seagoing QE2 in person from the decks of QM2, on QE2's last Transatlantic crossing (Eastbound tandem) in October 2008. Visited QE2 in her new life, in Dubai, in January 2020 and August 2022.

22 have voted !!  And there are still a few hours to cast your ballot if you have not already done so.

One photo is still pretty far in the lead, but it appears that three photos are in hot pursuit !! 

In the last few hours of the competition, can we break an all time voting record !!   :) :) :)

Congratulations to Cunarder Man, with his "Little elephants at midnight", the strong leader this month.

We have three runners-up, Cunardqueen's "A tart's desire", George Griffith's "Viking" and Hugh Ritchie's "The reason we are here".

Congratulations to all the photographers of this delicious food, and happy memories of those well-fed days!
