I thought everyone might be interested to review the UC menu (December cycle) which launched this week. The menu below is specifically for VS5, 117, 7, 23, 19, 41, 103 & 105

Starters

Balik salmon with curried potato salad
Cauliflower soup with crumbled blue cheese
Orange and butternut salad with black rice & quinoa

Mains

Coffee rubbed fillet steak - dauphinoise potato, buttered carrots, Savoy cabbage & red chimichirri sauce
Herbed roasted chicken breast- cassoulet of chickpea, kale, butternut & mushroom with a creamy mustard sauce
Thai sweet potato stew - ginger brown rice
Vietnamese caramel salmon - bok choy & glass noodles

Pudding

Warm Rhubarb sponge pudding (says with fresh cream but was served with vanilla custard!)
Belgian chocolate torte

Cheese

Cotswold Brie
Rutland red
Cropwell Bishop Stilton

Extra bites -

Classic gourmet beef burger
Smoked haddock with crushed potatoes, poached egg & grain mustard sauce
Antipasti plate with Artichoke, courgette, tzatziki and houmous with pita shards
Afternoon tea with Chicken bacon & cheese tomato & chutney sandwiches.
Carrot cake
Sultana scones with clotted cream & jam

I enjoyed the Cauliflower soup which was thick and warming with lots of blue cheese, and the fillet steak (only 12 were loaded on a full 31 seat UC cabin) so a few were disappointed but it was tasty with a nice tang!

The Rhubarb sponge didn't have very much Rhubarb but was nice all the same. The cheese selection I really enjoyed (double portion of everything offered to those taking part!)

Hope this helps.

Every time, the extra bites sound better then the main meal itself

Must admit I tend to echo this sentiment. The offering above isn't making me tingle with anticipation.

Salmon and potato salads sounds bloody nice.

Couldn't agree more about the soup. I didn't fancy a main on my outbound to NYC last week but had two helpings of soup. Incredibly tasty.

Coffee rubbed steak

ewww, hope that's not the menu for my HK flight in Jan

Yep there are usually mince pies and turkey on the menu for Xmas week.

Plus whatever Christmas decs/hats the crew can get away with

Exactly the same menu as the OP on V43
