I had the roasted veggie one yesterday and it was really good. That and the humus, chickpeas, and carrot salad made a big enough lunch that I declined my hot meal on the noon flight to YYT. Of course by the time we couldn't land at YYT and then detoured to YQX, refueled, flew back to YYT, couldn't land again and flew to YUL arriving at 8:00 pm, I was wishing I'd eaten more.

Looks like YYZ domestic AMEX plat lounge has competition for its 'famous' white bread, cheez slice and microslice of predigested, definitely non-artisanal lettuce- I joke, but those things have kept me alive during flight delays...

I have never had a diversion in 0.75 million miles. Luck?

Sitting in the YYZ domestic MLL and there's a new food offering.
Four sandwiches:
1. Grilled vegetables with roasted garlic; roasted red, green and yellow peppers; zucchini; eggplant
2. Mozzarella cheese; artisan lettuce; sliced tomato
3. Black forest ham; artisan lettuce; swiss cheese; sliced tomato
4. Salami; artisan lettuce; swiss cheese; sliced tomato
I had the ham version. It was edible, but the bread was too dense and the tomato stood no chance of staying in and intact. Oh and I didn't see a trace of swiss cheese.
The mustard jar says "dijon" but it's regular old French's prepared.

On the way back to YYZ (where I started!) from YUL I took the opportunity to listen to some Mozart - very nice, although I can't really recommend it if you're using the free AC earbuds. I didn't think I'd need my QC15s this trip. Next flight I'll give it a proper listen.
According to the YYT website there are 1,000 flights/year "impacted by low visibility" affecting 100,000 passengers. I guess it was just my turn.

What YVR needs is Tsingtao alongside the Guinness... I mean, it's freaking YVR. Don't worry, I'll be there on July 29 and I'll provide an update. (I meant int'l MLL, btw)

And to stay on topic, I wouldn't expect such sandwiches in our unmanned MLL at YYT anytime soon
