What is wrong with asking people to conserve? Yes, the menus are inexcusable but asking people to conserve their use of toothbrushes(do you really need one per brush) is not in anyway ridiculous. Do you use one toothbrush a night at a hotel, throw it out, then ask housekeeping to restock it for you during the daily housekeeping?

BR's J menus seem to be of rather high quality paper. So yes, compared with what other airlines offer, I'd imagine the printing costs to be fairly substiantial.
If they decide to cut cost and print lower quality menus, people are going to kick up as big of a fuss. They just can't win.

Unless you get your rocks off by being wasteful, this is a stupid thing to be upset about.

Cool. I thanks for responding. I'm on the earlier flight on Sunday, BR17. We may be on the same flight.
Don't let my rather direct comment about the lobster dissuade you too much if that's your thing. I did think it was just not what I was hoping for, but part of me realizes I want something simple for a flight that leaves after midnight. My culinary opinions of dishes that aim high decline quickly as exhaustion sets in. Or I turn into a Gremlin.

I have just read these amusing comments about BR's menus in J. I recently flew TPE-BKK. The menu printing is impressive, with separate pages covering the segments TPE-BKK, BKK-LHR, LHR-BKK and BKK-TPE. I can see perhaps that they would like to collect them for reuse after each segment. There was a separate drinks menu distributed. I can report that the champagne offered on my flight was Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame 2006, and the French red wine Chateau Haut Condissas 2011, Médoc. Of course, I am used to UA's much more modest menus.

I always go with the "Stir Fried Beef with Assorted Mushroom in Satay Sauce Served with Vegetables and Egg Fried Rice" on the supper flights - it is the run of the mill sa cha ( 沙茶酱 ) beef so impossible to mess up. I tried the lamb chops once; flavor was fine but texture was not.

Halibut is one of the options available on the pre-order and I am leaning to that.

Anyone try the wok fried chicken with Kung Pao sauce? That looks tempting
Thanks!

I was on the 8AM departure, so I didn't really want anything too heavy that early. Saved some appetite for the mid-flight burger, which was delicious.
