Neither of those. I think we can just call it ham.

Ok I am uploading from my phone, the picture location is strange.

That almost looks like what Americans call "Canadian Bacon".

Rack of lamb!

I've never seen rack of lamb as a menu offering before. Maybe I don't travel enough? Thanks to priority menu choices, I have my preferred choice! Others were lemon-thyme chicken, seated salmon filet, and asparagus-cheese pasta.

It's a pleasant way to spend my last flying day of 2017! Especially since I will end the year with 100,021 miles.

I had the "rack-o-lamb" ex GVA. It was good.

But the portion was stingy. 2 chops.

A full rack will run a restaurant up $20-$30 depending on the quality/supplier/quantity, so this gave me a good idea of the budget allocated for food on AC.

Literally 2 chops and a small side. It was good, but it was very lol.

I had the rack of lamb ex-LHR last year, and it was excellent.

Your menu description is the same as my flight in Dec 2016:

You don't travel enough.

It's been mentioned in this thread several times on international menus since 2015, at least.

For example:
Recent AC849 LHR YYZ
AC869 LHRYYZ September 2015
Dec 2015 AC859 LHR YYZ
"I've had nicely cooked rack of lamb a number of times when flying from Europe (UK IIRC)."

When was this? gabdusch's post indicates it was three chops in Dec 2016. Is this another enhancement? Also I am not suggesting that 3 chops is not a lol size.

Sometimes it's two. Sometimes it's three.

Ok, what's the probability distribution over time? if the trend is more 2 less 3 then this will keep me awake at night

I had three! It was cooked to medium, and served hot. Quite tasty!
