Another thing I thought of is for the YVR-JFK route, there is no caviar, but the balik salmon is served. 
Does that mean that they would possibly be serving the caviar now on this route?

Doesnt change the ecological system of salmon in general. Its decent salmon, yes. Decent food? Its still salmon.

Should i bother saying if you dont hv a degreee on ecology dont comment on it. anyways, it does not change the fact that salmon lives in rivers for half its life and ingest and retains disgusting stuff that noone here believes in because balik is farmed in norway by a swiss company. Certain inorganic stuff is still there - Thats salmon.
Having said that, they do taste good when i last had it. But its still just salmon which is overated and its not something i crave for.

I've had (not on Ana) some Chinese & Columbia River caviar that's A LOT better than the mushy stuff on CX. I've always wondered if it's mishandled along the CX supply chain and is getting frozen at some point. It never has 'that pop'. As bad as it is, it's still a fine accompaniment to the Krug.

I love the Balik Salmon, so as long as CX is going to offer a decent alternative appetizer option, I am okay with this new arrangement.
I am terrified at CX's "enhancement" as you don't know what is in store for you!

'Bout f-ing time. Unfortunately, I always flew F because I absolutely hated the old herringbone coffins in J. Those seats s*cked so bad. Now, I really like the J set up and I have a hard time making myself spend the extra miles. I'll miss the Krug more than anything else.

It looks like they may be going with the same (ugh) brand that ANA uses, according to this...............!

I think they misspelt it.
