Name That Cruise Food — and Win Swag
October 21, 2011 | By Shayne Rodriguez Thompson | 212 Comments

This contest is now closed. Please check here for the winner — and the name of the mystery meat pictured above.
Most of the time, perusing cruise food photos incites lots of mouthwatering and tummy grumbling, but every once in a while we come across a photo that leaves us a little green in the gills. Not only is the above photo slightly less than appetizing, but it definitely falls in the mystery meat zone. Here’s where you come in: Can anyone (with the exception of member hermajestylanie, who posted the photo on the Cruise Critic forums) actually identify this dish? Post your ideas in the comments below, and we’ll send some sweet cooking-related swag to a person chosen at random among the correct entries received by 4 p.m. Monday, October 24. (Well, if there are any … the more detail the better here, folks.)
