They'll be starting to cook it soon!
Anyhow, I'm off to ATL soon with my daughter on a 2-4-1 and the F menu is
Steak + chips, cabbage, beetroot , broccoli
Cod, new potatoes, carrots, beurre-blanc sauce
Duck with spring onion mash, puy lentils, roast root vegetables
Wild mushroom risotto mizuna, parmesan salad
Grilled tiger prawn salad
They all sound good so I am just not sure. Given going to US I see little need to eat steak, has anyone had the duck as I do like puy lentils?

So disappointed with the main course selection for our trip to Chicago in F next month, particularly the beef:
Braised British beef with herbed polenta chips, salt beef buttered cabbage, roasted beetroot, tenderstem broccoli and port jus".
There is nothing else on the menu that I really like, so am not sure what to do. There have been some lovely menus on earlier flights this year, so am gutted!
Guess I will have to have the beef and pick out the polenta chips and beetroot, or have a good meal in the CCR before we leave.
Are Bacon Rolls available during day flights or this just a breakfast option?

I'm not wowed by my F main course choices on LHR JFK in a couple of weeks:
Rack of lamb on thyme jus with grilled polenta tart, wilted baby spinach and topped with classic ratatouille
Chicken supreme Kashmiri style with mango pilaf, broccoli saag and beetroot chutney
Slow braised pork belly with creamed potato, broccolini and seasonal vegetables
Grilled vegetable Gyozas served with green beans, drizzled in miso soya dressing and sesame seeds
Main course salad featuring Severn & Wye hot smoked fillet of salmon with cucumber ribbons and creamy celeriac
No steak option (or any beef), no fish except the salad, and even the comfort food option is not to my taste (I find pork belly too fatty to be appetising).
Not too worried, will still have a great flight, but surprised at these choices and was hoping for a little better from Do and Co given the CW upgrade in food.

Almost thought 'chose on board' was the best option
Duck sounds the most interesting
Usually like fish on planes but Cod.....
