I'm a bit lost by what you mean here? My AF P have all had a proper caviar service. Not as pretty as some (e.g. CX tin is prettier than the AF 'quenelle' but the AF caviar is actually of significantly better quality than those on CX, QR, and LH for instance.

Let me know if/when you want to swap! I'm no fan at all of the pork trio and in fact very happy it has now left the menu!!

I guess all tastes are individual, but put simply, LGPS and Cristal are basically not in the same 'league' of Champagne. LGPS is very good but explicitly a level below the 'great' ones. Again, that does not obviate individual tastes: for instance Dom Perignon is also among the "great" like Cristal and really doesn't do it for me.

PS: QR currently serve Comtes de Champagnes... in J!
