AA 112: Miami, FL (MIA) to Barcelona, Spain (BCN)
Boeing 777-200
Business Class
Flight started with a much appreciated pre-departure selection of bubbles and OJ. Yes--I asked for both!
The 'small plate' (poached shrimp remoulade with arugula) and salad (baby spinach and arugula salad) were served together. I'm not big particularly fond of shrimp, so this went untouched. However, the salad was delicious and fresh. The flight attendant also came around with a small selection of rolls. I picked sourdough, which was served warm.
For the 'main plate," I had the Korean-braised short ribs. It tasted way better than it looks in the picture. Very flavorful, especially with the accompanying bulgogi sauce. The meat itself was very soft and tender--I was cutting it with my fork. I wasn't a fan of the shredded red cabbage on top--it was overwhelming to the palate given the beef and sauce were very flavorful on their own.
Traditional AA sundae. The outstanding flight attendant offered to make it 'bottomless," haha.

Traditional American breakfast, served about 1 hour before landing in Barcelona. Potatoes were the best part of the meal--very soft and perfectly seasoned.
That's my first meal report--hopefully the first of many! Let me know your thoughts--suggestions for improvement are always welcome!!
