Thanks for posting Jamie. I was on this flight on New Year's Eve. I'd had the Ham Hock and poached egg round about 5 p.m. in the Clubhouse. Having looked at the copy of the VS400 menu in the Clubhouse and not being taken with anything, I then had supper of Welsh Rarebit before boarding - lovely. And then the onboard menu was different to the one in the Clubhouse! Being a Lancashire lass I couldn't resist hotpot on New Year's Eve, so I had to eat that too.

Just as an aside we were over Austria at midnight. A very different way to watch the fireworks, pretty awesome!

I passed on the breakfast, still too full from the day before. The Daught had the Lamb sausage sandwich and said it was awful.

Thanks again for posting!

Hi Redvee,

I went out just before New Year. On the way back, the crew said the fireworks etc over Austria were amazing, so did some of the other pax who'd flown out for NY.

I never used to like the Lamb Sausages but they've sort of grown on me now. I noticed a whole load of them wrapped in foil on the bar when I went to get changed out of my sleeper suit. Either they heated far too many or they just aren't popular.
