An important question about...dessert

[CaliforniaMom]

It sounds like meals in the dining car are pretty filling - can a passenger take a dessert "to go" to enjoy later in their roomette or sleeper? Or does everything need to be consumed at the table in the dining car?

Thanks.

You can take anything you want back with you, and they've always been happy to package dessert directl to go for us (including giving us bowls and silverware).

They've always been happy to pack it up to go. In fact, one time, they asked if I would because they wanted to turn the table.

Yup! Taking dessert to go is a common thing with us when traveling in Sleeper. I loved having the chocolate lava cake ala-mode with a nice glass of Bourbon whiskey from the comfortable accommodations of my bedroom before, the lights dimmed and a snowy wintery landscape drifting past my window outside. First-Class all the way!

 

[CaliforniaMom]

Awesome, thanks for all the replies!

Any question involving dessert is important.

I agree about having dessert in one's room with a good, civilized whisky.

Funny how whiskey from the state of KY has an 'e' in its spelling, while the good, civilized single malts from Scotland, do not.

Scott - you may want to check that again. While the good stuff does come from Kentucky, it is spelled both ways all over the world.

Tom,

As the linked article says:

Whew! Time for a drink.

I think you can also eat dessert first in the dining car -- an important option for some of us older folks.

Well, he did say he was drinking bourbon, not scotch. :giggle:

Personally, I don't care how it's spelled just how it tastes in my glass :hi:

Hey, my younger son would LOVE that idea! On the other hand, then I lose the incentive for getting him to eat all his veggies. :blush:

I thought generally:

whiskey = American and Irish

whisky = Canadian and Scottish

I'm sure there are exceptions, though.

In Japanese it's spelled: ウイスキー h34r:

However on a train it doesn't taste properly unless it's wrapped in a brown bag......

Local/regional microbrews for me!

I've been thinking of starting a thread about places a short walk from various train stations where one can find good/interesting local beers for sale. Doesnt seem to quite belong in a dessert thread. :unsure:

Dessert and Beer go together.
