- Braised Chicken Leg (red wine sauce, truffled spelt)
- Seared Sea Bream (salsa verde, potato mash, Jerusalem artichokes)
- Gnocchi Primavera (nut-free pesto, fresh vegetables)
They all sound pretty uninspiring and I don't see any of them reviewed in this thread - does anyone have a recommendation amongst these? I eat anything, but usually bias to fish and veggie - my instinct here would be the fish.
Also, if I went for the Hindu meal instead - does that come with the regular starters and dessert, or is it a self-contained meal? I saw
st530 's post for DFW-LHR which suggests it's just the main plate that's distinct, but worth confirming. I'm also thinking it might be much better out of LHR than DFW, but you never know. What's policy on asking for a regular meal if the special one is a disaster?
Wondering if just eat in the CX lounge is actually the way to go here!!
Hi there, I've had the chicken before and thought it was quite good. But I'm not a fan of beef cheeks and I don't trust AA to do fish right. CX lounge is always nice, however!
