A tasty portal to the world - To the Curious

Food is one of the most pleasurable ways to learn about a culture. Silversea's S.A.L.T. program is a great teacher.

But travel also is a matter of using all the senses, and perhaps none is as important as taste. To sample a New England lobster roll, to savor a Valencian paella, to experience Pad Thai in Thailand is a splendid and savory introduction to a culture. That’s part of what’s behind Silversea’s S.A.L.T (Sea and Land Taste) program, which you will find on Silver Moon, Silver Dawn and, in 2023, Silver Nova. (You’ll find S.A.L.T. on Silver Ray in 2024.) S.A.L.T. Kitchen (the restaurant), S.A.L.T. Lab (a hands-on class that connects dots among culture, history and cuisine) and S.A.L.T. Bar (cocktails that will set your tastebuds aflutter) are your entrée into the flavors of the region you’re visiting. This week, we go behind the scenes on Silver Moon on a visit to the Caribbean and Central America to sample S.A.L.T., which changes as it does on each ship, depending on location. We also invite you to try hands-on workshops by experienced chefs. On-shore S.A.L.T. Experiences provide unparalleled local access to chefs, winemakers and artisans. Now, on to dessert. Besides Central America, S.A.L.T. is part of the cruise experience on Silver Moon and Silver Dawn in South America, the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, Northern Europe and, for me most recently, a Silversea cruise around Portugal. Visiting Lisbon, one S.A.L.T. Experience focused on its pastel de nata, an exquisite custard tart native to Portugal. Its history is fascinating (it was born of a need to use egg yolks left over from the egg whites used to starch clothing), and its taste is said to be a little slice of heaven. The story and video capture this delicious specialty and just may put Portugal on your radar, if its magnificent architecture, wine and history aren’t enough to tempt you. We welcome you aboard whether you choose traditional dining, S.A.L.T. experiences or some savory blend of both, and we wish you bon appétit and bon voyage. Stay curious. Warmest Regards, Barbara Muckermann Chief Commercial Officer [DISCOVER MORE]( [To the Curious]( [THESE SILVERSEA PROGRAMS ARE S.A.L.T. OF THE EARTH]( “Food is everything we are,” the late Anthony Bourdain once said. “It's an extension of nationalist feeling, ethnic feeling, your personal history, your province, your region, your tribe, your grandma. It's inseparable from those from the get-go." That’s why the S.A.L.T. (Sea and Land Taste) programs are invaluable for guests who want to learn, explore and experience the differences each region brings to the table. Using cuisine as your teacher, you can dabble or go all in, but either way, learning on Silversea is deliciously fun.

They’re crisp, they’re crunchy, they’re sweet and they are seductive. Like many culinary icons, pastèis (the plural of pastel) de nata may vary from region to region (and Portuguese outpost to outpost). Some may have a lemon flavor; others may have more cinnamon. Watch Ross Vernon McDonald, one of Silversea’s filmmakers, as his video explains how this egg custard tart grew out of a laundry problem and how it has become a culinary powerhouse for Portugal.
