I had the Japanese meal, which was good... although was a little full on that fantastic beef curry from the JAL F lounge so didn't finish most of it. Also, one of my favorite things on AA are those porcelain sake bottles/cups they have on flights to/from NRT. Great stuff.

Also, really like the design of the new menu... nice textured paper and classy feel ^

Just flew AA 50, DFW-LHR Jan. 4

I'll spare the usual starters ( nuts, salad, bread etc. never changes)

Mains

Beef Filet w/ Foyet Sauce

Chooza Tikka Masala
(good, w/ fair amount of heat this time)

Sautéd Talapia ( didn't look so good)

Stuffed shells w/pomororo sauce.

Usual fruit/cheese or ice cream.

I was on same flight. The beef was pretty good, though a bit light on sauce.

What was the ice cream? Heath bar?

What was the ice cream? Heath bar?[/QUOTE]

No, cookies/cream with chocolate shavings

Forgot....breakfast was usual cold choices.

Hot item was a Huevos Rancheros Skillet. Not a hit with me. Tortilla strips were very chewy of course and way to many onions ( in the dawn light, I thought it was a pile of potatoes) anyway, I think Mr. Sandoval needs to rethink that dish. Concept was good but it didn't translate at 41,000 feet.

NRT-JFK First Class
 

Japanese Winter Meal

Appetizer Tray
Koachi Dish-Marinated flatfish with chrysanthemum roll, vinegared carrot and radish julienne, pickled cucumber and seaweed

Western Dish - Cod escabeche served with sliced onion, julienned carrot and red and yelow peppers

Main Tray
Simmer Dish - Crabmeat and lily bulb paste dumpling served with carrot, radish and mizuna leaf, accented by minced chicken

Entree - Grilled red snapper saikyo-yaki style with omelette, lotus root and simmered kept roll

Soup - Miso soup with tofu and wakame seawood

Steamed Rice
Assorted Pickles

--

Much better meal than the JFK-NRT. I would have this one again.

I don't have the list of wines but the sake is great and the Malbec on this flight was superb. Better than the JFK-NRT reds. Same sake.

If anyone knows the details on the Malbec FC JFK-NRT please post them. I'd like to track it down.

I flew AA 42 on 767, ORD-CDG Jan. 7

Starters: hot nuts and the cheese antipasto

Mains

Beef Filet w/ Foyet Sauce

Chooza Tikka Masala
(good, w/ fair amount of heat this time)

Sautéd Talapia ( didn't look so good)

Stuffed shells w/pomororo sauce.

Dessert: Usual fruit/cheese tray or made to order ice cream sundae

Same menu on MAN-JFK 8 Jan 2012.

Hot breakfast menu item was the Huevos Rancheros which I was looking to try but only the cold tray was loaded. This is the 3rd time in the last 2 months that only the cold breakfast has been offered on that route even though the menu indicated a hot option. It was obvious that the crew didn't want the pax to know that and were actively discouraging ordering. Only when I resisted their negative recommendation they admitted it wasn't actually available.

FYI - I have twice (in the past year or so) gotten minor, but quite uncomfortable, food poisoning from Indian food on flights from ORD. I really like Indian food, but won't try it again on AA.

Flight was annouced on board as 1hour 59 minutes flight time.
Was surprised at the service. No menu so from memory

Salad Service - Greens with parmesean cheese shavings and bottle of balsamic. Choice; white, wheat or cheese bread

Main Course Chicken or Halibut. I had the halibut and it was served with a dusting of crab meat, broccoli and some sort of mash. ;)
