I had this on my 2130 ORD-LHR on Monday night and it was very good.



Rest of the meal photos from that flight are HERE.

Was tempted, but had chicken on the SF-DFW flight, and sometimes you can feel chickened out on AA; guessing from pic 6 you had no such qualms

The shrimp was really very good, the vegetable saute was especially surprising.

Has anyone tried AA's international F Lobster Risotto?

Has anyone tried international F Lobster Risotto recently?

Im tempted to try this on the pre-order for my flight in F from NRT-ORD next week.

Although not a food snob, I don't want to end up with a stinky bowl of slop(in case it is a bad choice)

Thanks for the input!

I didn't realize you could pre order for international flights. Is this new?

The old Shrimp & Scallop Risotto was pretty good, so I'd be tempted to go for the Lobster Risotto.

Seems appropriate to post the return menu for my trip from the flight. Some entrees I have not seen before, great starter which included a stuffed piquillo pepper: had them at one of my fave places in SF and made them myself, very pleasantly surprised it appeared with the crab cake.

Beef was my main, a bit overcooked this time, but perfectly tender, with a very nice sauce and vegetable saute. Very good. Honestly, I would have been happy with any entree off this menu, but wanted to try the leek and mushroom saute.

Had both the Vermentino (with appetizer) and the Chateau du Seuil Graves with the steak; very good.

I can confirm the bar is fully stocked with some good stuff and looks great. I could eat myself to oblivion on this flight ...

UPDATE: I had to take a bullet for you all and raid the bar. Got a mini wrap slice with veggies, bit of roast beef (I think) and horseradish mayo; a mini fruit tart and a mini chocolate mousse. All very tasty. I'm going to stop now, and ponder whether it is wise to eat the next meal in two hours ....

They also had one mini sandwich left as well as some other savory tidbits, many more excellent pastry type stuff including a chocolate-caramel tart with nuts, various types of good looking packaged snacks, a jar of the nuts, and both cheese cubes and fruit cubes in glasses. Bottled water aplenty, no booze freely open.

A significant improvement since my South American flight... it now seems the Late Night Supper menu matches AA's international dinner menus (as opposed to the more abbreviated service of a protein atop a salad). Apologies for the lack of photos - the filet was perfectly cooked and one of the best in-flight meals I've had in the last year on any airline.

Great News!!! I'm so glad the "Late Night Supper" is now the same as Dinner!

Chateaubriand served in green peppercorn sauce with potatoes au gratin and a mushroom, leek and onion saute on today's 3-hour delayed DUB-ORD (other options were rosemary cumin chicken, citrus shrimp and scallop sambal, or pennette pasta) .

I had exactly the same offerings for EZE-DFW on 13-April.
- went for the fish, which was slightly dry, but still edible and flavorful. Did not really like the peruvian potato, was slightly on the hard side (not sure if this is how it is suppose to be).

Cheers!

VGML - preorder or go for pasta?

Hi,
Flying TATL in J soon (DUS/LHR-ORD/DFW). Should I preorder a VGML or go for the standard option on the menu? On BA I never preorder as the regular menu is fine; on AA it seems to be mostly pasta; and the starter seems to be fish from what I see in this thread.

My experience with preordering vegetarian in J on other airlines has been mixed but mostly unhappy (of the #firstworldproblem kind): Y-food on J-plate.

You'll run the risk of a blah starter with pre-order, then again everything I've seen in recent months has been beef or fish on the starter plate, so you'll find that pretty useless. At least they aren't adding meat or fish to the salad itself.

I have always and only seen pasta in the last year of flying AA as the veg option on the main menu. They don't have much of it and if you are on the wrong end of FEBO there is def a risk of running out. They assume two thirds of the cabin will order the beef, which was true on both my flights this month, but if a handful of folks ahead of you order the pasta you will not get it.

My "neighbor" on AA 50 had ordered a vegetarian meal, alas I was engrossed in my food and drink and it was hard for me to stretch out and see what he was getting, so I can't tell you what was on his tray.
