My aunt used to make both and I regret I never took the recipes. I wonder whether less people are chosing to fly on Qatar due to the boycotts. Anyway clearly no food shortage.

On a side note, "Le G" from Château Guiraud (your UA transatl flight) is very acceptable for a business class offering (but not for F of course). People tend to think that dry whites from Sauternes are inferior, but actually some of them are pretty good, like this one, which is also organic. Just visited the vineyard the other day to buy another case..... (I never take any notice of Robert Parker, BTW! Better to listen to the sommelier of one of the top London restaurants....)
Looking forward to the rest of your trip!

The bar is very good and I'm advised by friends, because I have not needed to use them, that the sleeping rooms are very comfortable.
