Spring 2009 Upper Class Menu UK-USA

dont think I would eat much from that Menu,what will the summer one be like


We'll find out in three months time [8D]

Some looks good, some not so. Pastrami???[:$] Why not something most people would like? also, why do they have a couple of variations on routes. Why no salmon on the 076 - I had just decided on salmon when I saw the differences.[?]

When does Spring become Summer VS timing?

That's the problem. Me? I love pastrami and TBH, if I got just plain old cheese and pickle or ham and tomato I'd think I was being short-changed. A bit like going to the reopened Fat Duck and asking for a plate of chips that hasn't been messed about with.

Perhaps there is a case for a new special meal option. Plane and simple. Fish paste sandwich, Cottage pie and ice cream,

I guess what we need is more choice, which isn't going to happen. I have enjoyed my UC meals so far I have to say and if all I don't eat next time is the Pastrami sandwich then that is good!!

OK, I'm old (but not decrepid, yet [:)]). Plain. Plane and simple?

Just a little pun [:#]

It has been mentioned before, but the chance to pre-order your meal of choice would be good. It would be printed on your boarding card stub so no snaffling anyone else's meal just because it looks/smells better.

Would reduce waste and means they could load a box or 2 of krispy kreme [:D]

What happens if you order a lacto-vegetarian menu? Do you get a specially prepared meal or just the veggie choice from the main menu? We're flying UC by the way.

You get a veggie meal, but quite often non-lacto/ovo which is more like a vegan meal. I'd stick to the standard menu [y]

Thanks,

Mmmmmm The outbound mains do nothing to rock my world [:(]

So it looks like it will be a case of eat heartily in the CH before the flight & just nibble at the soup & desert on board for the outbound.

The inbound menu looks better though, wouldn't mind trying the beef. However IAD-LHR is a short flight, so having a meal on board seriously limits snooze time.

Shame the IB & OB aren't the other way round.

Edited to addÉÉÉ

In all honestly, I'm tempted to try to find BA's CW Spring menu & might actually consider switching based on what that's got [:w]

Very fickle of me I know, butÉÉÉÉ.

What are the differences for the GNF flights ex-US East Coast (i.e. BOS/JFK/EWR/IAD), for this cycle?

Travelling back BOS-LHR in UC at the end of May.

Back out to SFO in June, and probably again in July, so should get to give the Summer menu cycle a go then.

I still wish that VS either a) carried a bigger menu choice, or b) rotated their menu (either all of it, or just a bit of it) more frequently.

Cheers Tink! Think I'll give that a spin... last GNF salad I had was pretty decent.
