The Main: aka How about some pork fat with your veggies?

Full disclosure: I love pork. And pork fat. Have so ever since my German grandmother fed me pigs tails when I was barely out of diapers. But whoa nellie. I've never seen anything quite like this. I opted for Simon's Pork belly with creamed celeriac and wild mushroom ragout, napa cabbage and crisp crackling. Once again sounded great, and I had visions of something like this: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/r...ts/pork-belly/

The presentation was quite nice and the wild mushroom ragout excellent...



But when I went to sample the pork, that pork belly turned out to be mostly fat, with just a morsel of rather tough pork. Yikes.

For dessert, I went with the Ice cream sundae with chocolate toppings.
Very good but would have been even better if someone hadn't taken the ice cream out of the freezer way too early.



Time to turn in for a few hours sleep before landing.







Declined breakfast but 1K went for it.

In spite of the poor wines and disappointing inflight food, the overall impression was positive. Great crew, great service but the pre-flight First Dining at ORD was the topper. As others in the BA forum have noted, in future I would eat on the ground at ORD, have a few drinks on board and then go to sleep.

Next: BA Arrivals Lounge and off to Gatwick
