I think its a great shame that VS did not stick to the politically correct version of the puddings name.

I really like this menu. Makes me even more annoyed that I did my three flights so close together and had to endure the same menu for them all!

I tried the chicken on the way home from MCO Friday. It was unsurprizingly disgusting as was the ''cheesecake'' which certainly did not resemble any kind of cheesecake I've had in my life. Yuck.
In contrast the steak pie from the Summer menu we had on the way out was delicious!!!

I've had both menus on my recent trip to JFK - and I was pleasantly surprised on the way out. The fish pie (in my opinion) was pretty good - and I normally steer clear of fish on board.

Political incorrectness notwithstanding - the spotted dick was also good - nice to see VS are flying the british flag for food as well.

I have agree with Nemmie on the chicken - it was not so good. Resembles something Ryanair might introduce as the low-cost alternative to in-flight meals (but still charge 5,000,000,000,000 Euros for obviously)

Overall - I felt this was an improvement to recent menus, but still a long way off the heady heights of Continental's seven-course mouth-watering feast in business class.
