BA001 LCY - SNN - JFK

I forgot to photograph the canapés LCY-SNN which were nice: roast beef with wasabi, herbed labneh cherry tomato, salmon cream cheese wrap.

Fresh seasonal salad with vinaigrette. I'm not sure sun-blushed tomatoes are seasonal, but it was a nice sized portion all crisp and fresh


Artichoke tortellini with parmesan cheese sauce and caramelised fennel. Very nice, but needed much more sauce.


Maryland Cheddar, Shropshire Blue cheese served with caramelised onion chutney. Need to have been out of the chiller longer, and two more biscuits.


Warm baked apple and raspberry filo pasty with vanilla anglaise. Apple pie and custard, not bad - apple could have had a little more cooking and again needed more sauce.


Dainty chocolates sponsored by the caterer - very good


Sandwiches - coronation chicken, roast vegetables with goats cheese, gammon ham and wholegrain mustard, brie and cranberry jelly. Fresh, decent size - very good.


Tea Coffee?

BA226 ATL-LHR (F)

Does a single member of crew do the cooking and serving up? Everything was very precisely and attractively served, over all very enjoyable.

Amuse bouche - scallop and balsamic goo on a croűton. Amused my bouche nicely - several would have made a nice appetizer.


12 month aged Serrano ham with roasted tomato timbale and shallot dressing. Very tasty, but the rind had been left on the ham which made it very hard to cut or chew.


Braised beef with Armagnac aigre-doux sauce, haricots vert bundle, and seared endives. Beef lovely, mushed with a fork into the excellent sauce. Beans slightly over-cooked, bitter firm endives was perfect with the slightly sweet sauce. The dish needed potatoes.


Idiazabal, smokeshack gouda, fourme d'ambert cheese. Gouda was artifical, hard and not great. The other two were nice, but again a little too cold. Sufficient biscuits this time.


Tiramisu mousse and glass of Chateau de Rayne Vigneau 2003 - Yum.


Chocolates (dark picture sorry). No map to explain what they were, and they were strange flavours.


Breakfast - fresh fruit. All perfectly ripe, sweet and perfect.


Leek and Gruyčre frittata with green asparagus, rosti potato and green tomato chutney. Really crisp potato, perfect asparagus and fritta good - a little salty.

Had you already eaten it here? Or was this it?

[QUOTE=dpark74;23038597]I think that's it. The beef is hiding under the vegetables.

Certainly not a big portion.

ClubClassCowboy

The beef wasn't that small, but the dish needed potatoes rather than more beef.

The plate looks as though they've left something off.

The portion sizes in F have been silly of late. I had a steak & eggs breakfast ex-DXB last week that would have been appropriate on a children's menu. A scoop of scrambled eggs, about 40 grams of steak, and roughly a dozen miniature potato cubes. The FA was very embarrassed, and brought me a dinner item, (more substantial but poor quality.)

Lately, I have taken to reserving two mains on lunch and dinner flights, or at least doing soup/starter/main/cheese. They do a lobster salad main that is actually a good appetizer portion, and that can make a decent starter for a steak.

Flew QR for the first time in a long while about two weeks ago, and while the overall experience was marred by an ugly IRROPS on the return, the food was restaurant quality, (and the T4 F experience SO lovely with no waits and a buggy from lounge to gate.)

I'll still take the BA CC any day, though. The human touch onboard is what wins.

ClubClassCowboy

No - it was as described on the menu!

BA really should be embarrassed at the afternoon tea offering. Think it might be time to order a special meal. Like Jewree said a few posts earlier, the scone was the only decent part.

Found the flatbread more filling than the 3 fingered afternoon tea sandwich.

I can't help but feel that First food looks a lot like Business Class on some other airlines I could name and IMO on Austrian their Business food is even better than BA First. Captive market I suppose.

I keep forgetting to take pics of my meals, but here are some from a recent flight to Tampa (CW):

Rose Champagne with the usual nuts:



Buffalo mozzarella with tomato petals and wild rocket pesto. The salad is the usual "fresh seasonal salad with vinaigrette". The mozzarella was nice but the tomatoes a bit watery and tasteless:



I had an excellent main course: Pan seared fillet of British Beef with spring herbed green peppercorn crust and English cider jus. How they manage to keep the fillet of beef so juicy on a plane, I don't know but it was really nice.



I couldn't resist the lemon cheese cake for dessert:

BA LGW - RAK



Chicken with a mushroom sauce and vegetables - very good

Dessert was a sort of toffee cheesecake - so so.

Cheeses very good.

RAK - LGW



Four Cheese Ravioli - Quite nice

Dessert was a passion fruit cheesecake I think - Nice, better than the toffee alternative.

OT - have the menus on band 4 been enhanced away? Didn't receive one on either flight.

So.... Cheese AND pud on a B4 short haul, yet on a CW flight, you don't automatically.....

So, some photos of the snacks provided in ET on short haul flights:

No wonder we see more pics of the CE/CW/F meals!

What sort of very sick mind thinks of putting mayonnaise in a croissant (and cold sausage for good measure)???
