I've noticed that this is particularly a problem if you take a lot of QR flights in a month on similar routings between EU-DOH and DOH-Asia. When my flights are spread out over a number of months, the choices do differ, but they are often only slightly altered permutations on previous dishes. So the flavours are pretty similar.
Fortunately, I find the food broadly excellent (especially the middle eastern options) so I'm not all that concerned by the repetition - but it is something I always notice.
crazyanglaisy QR have introduced common menus for flights to and from a number of destinations. These region or Area menus as I prefer to call them are common for a number of destinations.
For example the DOH-AUS menus are common for all flights from DOH to Australia. AUS-DOH from Australia to DOH.
in the
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/qatar...rea-menus.html thread I have identified three such areas AUS, EUR and CHN. There are many more.
For the less frequent flier this makes sense because they can identify their meals easily. For a frequent flier as yourself it is not so good because of the repeat menus.
Menus are changed frequently as you have experienced.
