Seafood Bouillabaisse out of BCN since I haven’t seen anyone post it. Was fairly impressed! Had nice saffron flavor and shrimp, i think mackerel (not my favorite) and scallops. Polenta was well seasoned and went well with the broth. Flight attendant commented this presentation from BCN looked a lot better than out of MAD and LHR on her previous flights.

It really shows... F service was fine, though the seat is an ill-conceived waste of space. In contrast, QR's Qsuite (and service) bests AA's "F" in every single aspect (and by a huge margin).
When I read your report a couple days ago, I was shocked by how good that steak looked. The slop AA serves looks like dog food.

Probably now not flying back through London (going to India instead), so likely no review. Will probably fly home on Qatar.

Miso-glazed chicken sounds good. Combined with hollandaise, though???
I'd probably go with the lamb from those choices.

I hate both beets and goat cheese. Salmon is prone to overcooking, and being dried out (I like salmon medium-rare, like steak ), so could be risky, though YMMV. I had what was probably the same dish ex-LHR a year ago and it was a bit overcooked for my tastes. FWIW, I had salmon on DL in J a few months later and it was delicious.
I'd think both the beef stew and roast chicken are good options, they actually both sound tasty to me!

Technically int'l but just the same old domestic meals:
ORD-YVR (went out with 4 empty seats up front. I should have had an empty seat next to me but this clueless CK plopped down in the wrong seat based on what her BP said for a seat assignment).
Oasis 738 (lucky me!)....FA's are still getting used to the new row numbering (starting with 1 versus 3 etc)
Bulkhead Seat (legroom is noticeably tighter!)
Lunch
PDB - kind of.....tray of water/OJ came out, I asked for a bloody mary and it was granted.
Ricotta pasta dish or vietnamese chicken salad.
I've now had this same appetizer twice and can't figure out what it is........it's gross either way:
Only cookies for dessert, no snack basket
Refills were pretty frequently offered
