There are some Nespresso machines for aircrafts, Swiss among other carriers offers Nespresso coffee in First Class (maybe even business not sure)and it uses the commercial nespresso pods (the flat discs ones)

I think his very first offering, which was also Sablefish, was the best... and it kinda went downhill from there... just IMO.

yyznomad is referring to the very first Hawksworth dish, which also agree was his best.

No, that was the second iteration. See my post #985.

Perfect example of the different tastes we all have at 30-40K Feet. I've had a few starters that I didn't mind but in the last 7 years flying 80-100 flights/year mainly in J Class, there is not a single meal that I like. That is until I had the Sablefish Curry. I've had it 3 times now, the last time a week ago YUL-GVA. I've heard others on FT here complain about it as well. Anyways, I';m just happy I had something that I liked. I did like Hawksworths salmon appy though, that was really good.

The first one (also the premiere Hawksworth dish) set my expectations high, as I really enjoyed it. Since then, nothing has measured up in terms of the Hawksworth signature dishes (sablefish or not).

There have been at least three sablefish dishes. The original (Tamari roasted sablefish) was the best. The second (Roasted sablefish, chorizo, San Marzano tomato, fennel, crispy chickpeas, fine herbs) was good but less memorable. I have yet to try the curry.

I did like the one with the chorizo though.
Too bad they likely won't bring the first one back.
