I have amended mine on the photos guide, although equally unsure!

Still missing photos of the pumpkin ravioloni, cherry brioche butter pudding, new cheese selection, and the brioche turkey roll if anyone can take some.

I think Chris1979 said he was going to be in today too, so maybe more pics will come. I'll see if I can remember to do this and snap a couple myself, might manage the first two at least. I'll miss the dome, but always happy to try any bread pudding variation. Don't think I can manage the turkey roll

Very well, two out of four so far, 45 minutes to mull over whether to have cheese or not

And of course I had to check a bag (too much stuff) and placed my cable in there, so not able to upload pic to satisfactory standard yet. By the time it is done I may be beaten to the line. But it shall be in a happy, Mersault induced state. Even while reading about capital markets presentations.

So, late lunch consisting of the mushrooms on toast, raviolone, fish and butter pudding. Was going to get the cheese but found myself busy typing away and before I knew it it was 37 minutes to my flight and A15 had become B34 ...

Mushrooms on toast was a great, tasty dish, more italian bistro than high dining, you couldn't have objected if it had been called mushroom and artichoke bruschetta. Nothing wrong with that in my book.

The raviolone was a pleasant surprise:


I have a love/hate relationship with pumpkin and sweet potato, but this was understated and worked well as a savory dish, the pumpkin flesh inside the raviolo probably tempered with some cream or ricotta, with no overwhelming cinnamon/clove spicing added. Not too fussy with the cranberries in the dressing, but it didn't spoil things.

The butter pudding was excellent:


Here's a close-up:


Again, sour cherries not always my fave, but they've done well with this one. Moist, tasty, the cherries don't overwhelm it, the cream is very nice, though you couldn't be blamed for wanting some ice cream with it too

Turkey Brioche:



This was actually really tasty. Not huge, but a very nice flavour, would definitely recommend.

I have a photo of the cheese plate, will post late tonight or early tomorrow... Really enjoying the Halloumi salad, mostly because Halloumi is so uncommon in the US.

My wife had this in T3 GF the other day and said similar, very impressive.

I had the burger, which seemed much improved on previous efforts! Wish I could say the same about the chips though.

Mouldy cheese- certainly something I wouldn't want. The Red Leicester? looks like a decent chunk.

I had the mushroom on toast, lemon sole, cherry butter pudding, and new cheese plate yesterday.

The new cheeses were excellent and by the far by the best of the 4 dishes that I tried. The mushroom on toast was well-flavoured, but I think really belongs on the lounge menu; it's a bit rough and ready to be a starter on a full-dining menu (same issue I have with the charcuterie, as it happens). The lemon sole dish was mostly potato, and rather bland. Same for the dessert, which was not rich or buttery enough to really meet the criteria for a proper bread and butter pudding. A disappointing month again for me.

JFK Concorde Room menu for November

1. Croque Madame - tiny but delicious (the egg is full sized)
2. Braised short ribs - again, absolutely delicious
3. The cheese plate - very nice

If only the London CCR could match this quality....

Looks lovely - much more appealing than the LHR CCR usual selection. Is the IAD menu always the same as JFK?
