I pre-ordered the salmon. It was just OK, would have preferred it to be hotter. I liked the burrata, but only picked at the other stuff.
I requested the express service. It's same stuff on the tray, only I think you get it before the general service, more or less. I requested the cherry coffee cake for dessert but it never showed up, perhaps because I fell asleep. I did not have the second meal (and almost never do on flights to Europe.)
Crew service was outstanding. It was obvious that the crew liked their jobs.

I notice butternut squash ravioli on several menus. This had been on many domestic transcons. Seems like a cheapening of service if this is being offered on INTL, unless the dish is modified/enlarged somehow

Annoying they still have two Pinot Noirs on the list, both from CA (at least make one a Burgundy??). Are either any good? I find I need to spend at least $25 at retail for something drinkable (e.g. La Crema). Not generally a fan of the varietal though.

Choices of two appetizers: Prawn or Asparagus
The tenderloin is actually good for a change
Chicken sandwich w/fries or Veg Chili options as pre-arrival meals
