Premium Product Turning a Corner?
Hi all. I write to you mid flight from seat 2A on BA209 3 Nov 22.
This is my first pass at the new international F menu and I wanted to say I am impressed. Chilled Beef Wellington as a starter shouldn’t work but it has been cooked perfectly. All four mains are F only, and 5 of each were loaded (!!) and the wines: both a 2005 Ch. Armailhac (Rothschild) and a 4th growth 2006 Ch. St Pierre - a fantastic option and a menu encouraging tasting both. What was particularly nice was seeing the crew take pride in the soft product. It doesn’t happen that often.
Now if only I didnt have to ‘transit’ in MIA…..
