V-Flyer

Do we?

There should be a new menu from today, but until either someone has flown and reports what it is, then we won't know as it isn't officially published by VS.

It may well be live today, but we'll have to wait for a fellow vflyer to post it!

Hopefully Tinks has a flight and can nab a menu, that's usually the quickest way.

Hmmm, wonder what we'll have!

It isn't always on the 1st of the month since the menu tends to change around midweek, but in all probability it will be today.

We await a V-Flyer and/or Tink.

Looks like tomsmith would be your best chance

Apparently starting on the 2nd.

I hear they managed to get a job lot of cucumbers cheap and wanted to work them into the menu somewhere, so expect a nice salad for starters.

No, just a side of Ecoli!

I am being impatient... anyone seen the new menu yet??

Yes but knowing of your impatience they're deliberately keeping you hanging. (joke btw)

Thanks for posting, not too sure on the options! Glad my next flight isn't until Sept, fingers crossed for a change!

Thanks xws - you are a true v-flyer by posting the important details first - the wines before the food

Not quite to my taste. I am now considering not booking a G for my Chicago trip next month in favor of another airline !

Thanks xws23!

Doesn't sound toooo bad to me, the Guinea Fowl sounds good, desserts sound great

The sandwiches in the afternoon tea don't sounds as great as they have been.

Packed lunches all round for a flight in two weeks then!

To make things clearer and easier to find, I have split the actual menu off as a new thread.

I'll post the full menu now as I was waiting for the tension to build up a bit!

Not doing much for those of us with a shell fish allergy

Aaah but a packed lunch is no good without a flask of tea v( ...try getting that through security..
A 100ml flask of tea just isn't enough...

As Tink has posted the whole thing.

I'll merge them back for discussion etc.
