Creator's Key Takeaways

This is probably the best seasoned thing I have had on this ship. The flavor is solid. I don't know how to explain the taste, but the taste is amazing, y'all.

I don't hate the dark chocolate on here. But, kind of I I I wish I would have gotten a piece without the dark chocolate cuz the dark chocolate is very overpowering in this dish.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you are not a fan of mushrooms, you may want to opt for the Cacio e Pepe instead of the mushroom parfait.

I tried the full tasting menu at The Test Kitchen aboard Virgin Voyages’ Resilient Lady, and every course was definitely not created equal. The mushroom completely surprised me, the venison tasted nothing like I expected, and the scallop and I did not get along. The Test Kitchen is included in your Virgin Voyages cruise fare and offers a full tasting experience with several small courses. You can choose between the regular menu and a vegetarian option. This video is not sponsored. These are my honest opinions based on my experience aboard Resilient Lady. IN THIS VIDEO: • How The Test Kitchen menu works • The regular and vegetarian menu options • Bread service and the mushroom course • Egg yolk, asparagus, ham and scallop • Venison with dark chocolate and pickled blueberries • Venison compared with beef • The chocolate dessert • What I enjoyed and what I would skip READY TO PLAN YOUR OWN VIRGIN VOYAGES CRUISE?
