Thanks, Bobbie
Try again tomorrow. If it still doesn't work then you could phone You First and ask for a copy of the menu.

As far as I can see, I can't see that trout has been on the J menu before but I could well be incorrect. Anyone tried it?

p.s. Hello everyone - first time post and long time reader of FT.
I had seared fillet of beef (not good) in J back in January 2016 sorry about the photo.

I think sometimes the menus for the new month take a few extra days to appear, I've certainly experienced similar before. We're flying F to California on 4th Dec so will be watching next week.

I'm wondering if the quality of the fillet steak in CW has improved with the recent catering changes in CW? I appreciate it's unlikely to be a perfectly cooked medium-rare steak, but I can live with well-done as long as it's not tough at old boots. Anyone with recent experience? My upcoming flight has a choice of seared fillet steak or trout. Thanks.
