From a marketing email today

“This season, it's Hickory-smoked barbecue chicken in Economy, Pork chilli with dirty rice in Premium Economy and Rainbow banh mi rice salad bowl with warm teriyaki tofu in Upper Class.”

Maybe it’s me and not the copywriter , but nothing about this sentence makes me want to fly Upper Class

I had the truffled chicken which was pretty meh, and the rhubarb pudding which was very sweet but quite tasty.

Here's the Sea Bream and the Tiramisu:

Had the same on my flight to Atlanta yesterday, along with the Halibut starter. I found them to be a big improvement on the previous menu. My only suggestion would be for more of that sauce with the Sea Bream, it was delicious!

I just wish they would bring back the proper Afternoon Tea. The two scones they provide are perfectly fine, but I'd almost go as far as saying the Afternoon Tea in Premium is better!

Just been on the VS 91 to MCO in Upper.

Mrs Buns and I pre ordered the Wild Boar & Apple Sausages. Although highly flavoursome, quite enjoyable.

I fly again next weekend to BOS and whilst the options are the same, we now have pics!

Thanks, James. Have a good trip.

I have to say well done Virgin, quite like the menu and quite well suited mostly to my dietary requirements (recently been put on an extremely low carb diet). Butter is one of the things not bad on it, so having things in it for flavour really helps.

Shows we are not all alike, but I would say 3 weeks into a NHS low carb program that you lose weight super quickly, and butter is not a devil! Most low-fat things seem to in fact contain more carbs as a replacement and as carbs convert to sugar, they are really bad for those of us who are diabetic. Far better to have high fat, what is thought traditionally as unhealthy options as they suit a diabetic diet far better.

Had the baked cod (pre-ordered) on the VS76 on Monday night and have to say it was pretty good - if ever so slightly over-cooked. The present Mrs Treelo had the asparagus soup and cheese toasty and said they were excellent. Well done VS.
