2 September 2021 Quarantine Food - Warning: Not Insta Worthy

Lots of people have been asking about the food in quarantine. The hotel staff delivers 3 meals (and 1 snack) a day. And while the overall variety and quality are not what you would find in a high-end restaurant, the food is overall very good.

Here's a sampling of the meals. The picture collages are designed to give you an idea of what the food looks like. They are certainly not worthy of the idafrosk Instagram account belonging to Norwegian-born food artist Ida Skivenes and her 325k+ followers. Her photos are truly amazing.

Breakfast is generally some cold cuts, bread, vegetables, cheese, a hard boiled egg, and either a caviar paste or mackerel in tomato sauce pate.

Lunch has been varied with chicken cesar salad, Swedish meatballs, salmon and pasta, and baguettes with chicken, pesto, and cheese.

Dinner has been a little more hit and miss. Chicken breast in a sauce, a chicken patty sandwich with salad, and a "taco salad" that consisted of Texas chili over white rice with some lettuce and a Doritos garnish. And chocolate cake for dessert

I am certainly not starving. I especially appreciate the snack of fresh melon and other fruit every afternoon because I know that after several weeks on a ship, fresh fruit and vegetables will be a rarity. Hopefully, I'll be able to try some more authentic Norwegian food between quarantine and boarding the ship.
