I have something great to report!
The crackers accompanying the cheese were not on the cheese plate but instead came in a sealed packet. That prevented them from becoming soggy, and also they have become bigger, lending themselves to being a better match for the cheese. They were also tasty with seeds on them. I can't remember the brand but I suspect I'll be able to read it when I download the photos from my camera.
Also, the whole milk jiggers are still there.
The meal was good too, and with terrific crew, it made my flight really, really lovely. I think CE has improved further!
