Having seen KK's trip report from VS19 with it's vile food, I thought I'd look online for pics of ANZ economy food, as they seemed to be setting a good standard.

I found a trip report from a HKG-LHR sector from late last year on a.net, so I ruthelessly linked to these images from it to show what the competition can do:

Breakfast ex-HKG:



Midflight snack:



Lunch about 90 mins out of LHR:



When you compare that against what VS are dishing up, it's like chalk and cheese.

Wow! Some of that looks really appetising. I was very disappointed to see a cuplet of water in the VS Y selection (in one of the trip reports) now rather than the bottle. The scrambled eggs look boke though.

This post inspired me to find a website with all the airline meals! And I found it. http://www.airlinemeals.net/

God I love the internet!

Looks better than UC! [:I]

The ciabatta sandwich snack looks good. [:)]

Did you notice that the 1st VA entry is by a certain Mr. Howard Long?

I did indeed! And a very nice meal it looked too!

What do you guys want for a Y meal! It look heaps better than a few pics I've seen on VS Y.

I'd have taken the ANZ Y meal over the sh1t I had served to me in UC recently!

Dom - it may look better but certainly not appertizing in my view or to my taste.

TBH I have yet to fly in Y (or W) - and IF I ever do it seems like I would need to bring my own food with me.

Now if there was pics of the drinks served [:?][:w]

I think it's actually focaccia not ciabatta but yes it does look reasonably good !

I can't wait for the day that happens. A full photo report would be needed as proof. [}:)]

Dom - it was a feeble joke [?] - that said, I'm with HackneyGuy, if Gordon Ramsey's Plane Food opens at T3, I'd buy one their inflight meals to take on board. I am, seriously, considering taking my own in future on VS ...

According to Saturday's Times, Virgin food ranks alongside Gordon Ramsay's Plane Food, both one point below the leader - British Airways.

Yes, SQ, CX and EK don't rate as highly, although I love EK's presentation.

I wonder if they'd used NZ's food what would the result have been?

Sorry to say but that food is definately better than anything iv had in UC, such a shame too to see such a gulf of difference

cheers
