I seriously doubt VLML would be cancelled as it is the default vegetarian meal choice. When I was vegetarian many years ago I ordered it across numerous carriers for a period of over a decade.

Source? I'm still on the flight that I just had the LCML on. I posted that photo an hour after I ate it. Last I checked it's 2nd March today.

Just checked my next two flights and still have VLML.
This really is bad news.
What next?
And while I'm moaning I don't like the new Manage my Booking page.

Given my lack of op-ups (I was just on an oversold flight to HYD, traditionally the perfect flight for an op-up 
) I have decided to discontinue the SPML challenge on oversold/high load flights for the time being, I can't help but suspect they won't op-up someone with a SPML order.
On a positive note, I'll be posting the Jain meal shortly (negative note, it smelt so bad I didn't try it).

Asian Vegetarian Meal
Currently on EK770 with decent WiFi and just had a decent AVML breakfast. A pretty thick and hard South Asian flatbread (too thick to be roti, think they were going for paratha but no filling), potatoes fried with spinach and some spices and some sort of Indian veg patty.
Quite nice, pleasant flavour with a bit of spice but not actually spicy. Just a bit dry with the only moisture in the dish coming from the spinach and residual oil. Also no croissant unfortunately.
Lunch will follow later on.

The SPML site shows cakes (which we've all read about already) but lists Champagne... i know this is probably mostly for Y but has anyone tried this and know what the menu is? Maybe P2 rose?

In Y one can buy piccolo Moet for 25USD unless there's another champagne option you refer to?

I saw this on the dietary requirements page, so i figured it was separate from the way-overpriced split of Moet. At $12 it was quite reasonable for the quality of the champagne - my local wine shop sells them at retail for $12.99.

Ugh, the editor is screwed up, can't quote you directly.
Although not free, I'm guessing this will be a fun one!
Interesting, haven't heard of this. Maybe I'll order it for next week's flight to try it out (and I have been lax lately in this challenge)
