So how do you rate your chickpea-laden food?
chicken was very scarce in the VIJ signature dish. Menu and pictures attached. Maybe there is a budget involved which may explain chickpeas in every meal and less meat. If Vij is reading this since there is already a chickpea curry then perhaps the meat could be a dry kebab or chicken tikka. Also a lot of chickpeas in all class on a 15 hr flight is unpleasant

Apparently boarding within the published boarding times doesn't guarantee you a PDB.
It also guarantees that you'll be harassed (twice) about what you want for dinner (I already ate).

Unlike the esteemed 24left who takes photos of everything, I didn't, but I would like to report the rack of lamb on yesterday's LHR YYZ (AC859) was fantastic. Definitely not something I expect from Air Canada, but was very surprised.
That said, I didn't note "breakfast" or the equivalent meal served. I (we all did - traveling family) did sleep for most of the flight but perhaps I missed it. The flight landed at Toronto in the evening though so not sure if there was a deviation in meal service or if we all missed it.

I decline it out of every other station.

Personally, I'd choose a pre-packaged sandwich from Tescos or WH Smith any day over those slightly stale mini sandwich slices. But maybe I've just flown out of LHR a few too many times over the years....
That being said, I can't get excited about any of the "pre-arrival snacks/meals" on TATL westbound flights. But again that could be related to the snack changing maybe once or twice during the last eight years.

This is the Chicken Tikka Masala you didn't order....

Well, I guess preferences vary.

This may be the wrong thread but I recently flew J from YYT-LHR on AC860 (B767). I was fortunate (read bloody amazed) to be given an OpUp as a lowly-soon-to-be-expired-E35k so I suppose that should colour my experience but the one bit of in flight catering I bothered with - the cheese plate - was just plane awful. Three dried up & bland bits of cheese, 4 water crackers and some tired looking grapes. Even washed down with a couple of glasses of port it was a struggle.
