Thank You Tinks. The PE inbound sounds much better than the UC - IMHO of course. I wonder if I dare ask for a PE meal tonight

Katie

Thanks, as always, for taking the time to put the list together, Tinks
xx

Thanks Tinks...UC Menu sounds scrumptious.nom... nom.. ^)
Hope this is going to be on the 603 to CPT on the 27th..I'll have to bring my own gravy for the cherry toms though! ):

Paul

Thank you Tinks, we really appreciate it.

What a hero, thanks for putting that up

y) Thanks Tink, I have made this a sticky.

Thankyou Tink oo) oo)

Tinks is the best!!! Thank you

Thank you...much appreciated.

Just when I'm not flying I like the menus in most of the cabins. Bet it's back to cack in March.

Tinks

Massive Thanks oo) oo)

PE was ok, the beef was tough, wish I had the chicken as smelt nice and tasted nice, according to my husband ! This was on inbound flight. Breakfast was awful! Soggy and luke warm! Outward was much nicer.

The uc menu looks excellent and I won't even mind when my first choice of mains run out as they all looks scrummy.

Cheers
Alex

The short rib was very nice but I would have liked the lobster starter but as I was on the VS10 there was no starter. GRRRRRRR

Thanks Tinks.

Looking forward to trying this UC menu in both directions this time and will do so in just over a week as I'm back in Vegas

Thanks, Tinks, as usual.

When will the UC/PE menu change? Will it be on a three month basis as in the past or will this have a four month rotation?

Anyone knows why the VS12 has a very limited menue choice (both on starters, mains and desserts) If youy are on US time, it is not uncommon to have dinner at 21.00 even on flights... ?|

Thank you Tinks! y)

This will be because the flight time is often less than 6 hours and most customers will want to maximise sleep time, having eaten prior to boarding.

does anyone know do they do a dairy/ lactose free meal in PE?? and any idea of what sort of thing this would be?? Thanks

Flew MAN to MCO UC on 2 November and returned PE yesterday. At last an airline that appreciates that stronger flavours are needed at altitude - but have they gone too far? In UC the soup, Thai curry, chocolate chilli tart and hot chilli roasted salmon sandwich were all fairly spicy - I enjoy spicy food, but know many others who would have struggled. The chicken malai kofta kebab in PE was absolutely delicious - definitely infinitely better than the previous PE offerings.

To have a dairy free meal, I would suggest ordering a vegan meal.

Had the Thai curry last week, soooo yummy ! The soup was great too, I must say this is the first time I think they've got the UC menu spot on, so well done VS !

Looking forward to trying out the soup and curry on Saturday...

Hello - just wondering if anyone knows what the menu items for 'afternoon tea' and 'breakfast' are in PE? I see they're blank in Tinkerbelle's list at the top.

My OH has asked me to find out for our flight in 4 weeks

We're on the VS17 and VS46.
