I might just add that I quite liked the starters and the salad with shrimps. I had chicken as the main because I gave up on ordering tough fillets on flights even in First class. It didn't excite me at all and was actually quite dry (how much can you do wrong in cooking chicken???). The ice cream was chocolate and (tasteless) vanilla. Pretty bad for an icecream and for sure wasn't any premium grade product. Breakfast was economy quality served in business style. So far, I'm not very impressed with the food on First class flights (BA, UA so far). Maybe I'll have more luck on my return flight tonight...
