The DO flights drinks and catering thread

All,

With over 170 interested on the list, let's start to discuss what you would like to drink and eat on the 4 charter flights.

Tony, the great mind behind Scandinavia's best restaurant by far, Palace Grill in Oslo will be in charge of the catering on board.

This thread is for you to post your favorite drink, food and to throw ideas out there.

There will be 3 shorter flights of about an hour each and one longer flight about 2 1/2 hours.

The catering will be kept secret till the menu's are handed out on board the flights, this thread is to give input and inspiration.

Here we go!!

Of course. Let's hear your preference.

- Arrogant Baaastaaard beer. To be served by hand from large bottles into pint-sized glasses. Should be easy to ship from ORD if SAS' catering company will play ball. (pardon the multilpe a's .. the software censors the word .......)

- If Palace Grill handle the food, I'm confident that it will raise some eyebrows no matter what.

- Mexican chips and salsa for the short flights .. or one of them .. Obvoiusly some tequila should also be available for this .. maybe a theme per leg?

AB is good stuff! monitor -- your kind of bubbly is already on the list

I despise chips & salsa. Besides, they are cheap. Also, think of the mess they will make. Do we want chips all over the floor for the whole day?

Here's a list of QF domestic snacks (i.e. from refreshment flights) served to Y pax. Not that I'm hot on having any of those on the flights, but strangely I'm guessing some will differ:
  • Apple tea cake
  • Madeira cake with pink icing (used as a promotion for breast cancer awareness)
  • Nuts & sultanas
  • Tomato lavosh with mushroom hommus (sided with a small shortbread biscuit)
  • Onion biscotti with spicy carrot dip
  • Ham and bean salad
  • Ham and salad sandwich
I guess the other point of the list is probably to think about what people may not want on these flights. The duration of the flights will also affect what can be had (e.g. meal/snack service, hot/cold drinks, bar available etc.).

I wonder also how many attendees have specific dietary needs? That might make the "theme" idea more interesting (in a good way, of course)...

I guess something sporting the local fare might be ideal - what do Scandinavians eat? (I'm guessing they drink mulled wine in the stark cold weather, but any decent tipple will certainly warm any stooge up!)
