Qantas Business Class meals & menus

[anat0l]

Given you had a meal on every flight when we did this run in January, sounds like bull cough. Yay for 10k points.

Or special meals have been 'enhanced' to be simpler.

Well, what kind of meals (AVML) were served when you two were jetsetting around?

Not saying it can't happen or what not, just curious to see if they were actually reasonable. Then, of course, if QF could do it before, then why not again...

An update on my contact with QF:

I had a call from Christine, who after discussing the details with me, said she would call catering and QFF and get back to me. In the interim she offered me 10,000 points as a gesture of goodwill.

Could you negotiate 10,000 points per missed meal? :mrgreen:

Usually a roast veggie sandwich, or chickpea curry, rice and tofu in sauce. Actually, they are the two staples that QF serves for AVML. I have commented before about the lack of variety. Hmmm.

According to QF they only missed one.

Simpler for catering ie. do nothing

Sounds fair.

And then you'd have enough missed meals for an award flight, where you'd be served nothing and the cycle would begin all over again...

QF 786 BNE-CNS 29 May - beef cheeks with polenta. I've seen Neil Perry (and others) write about slow-cooked beef cheeks being falling-apart tender. Unfortunately, these beef cheeks had not read that! Dry and tough ... like an over-cooked (but not slow-cooked) piece of steak. If Qantas makes a poiny that Business Class meals are designed by Neil Perry, this meal does Perry's reputation NO good at all.

QF 626 MEL-BNE 29 May - cheese plate FRIST CLASS.

QF 927 CNS-SYD 30 May - fish with beans and potatoes was delicate and tasty.

Beef cheeks is a bit "out of the ordinary" (although, I'm cooking them at home tomorriow) ... clearly, "out of the ordinary" is NOT a good choice on Perry-designed J meals!

A roast veggies sanga! I like the sound of that. What is avml - veggie meal? You can keep your tofu.

With every "enhancement", I'm really starting to wonder if QF have rocks in their heads...

Well I could have used it for that purpose - wasn't at all to my taste (I'm not a Champagne drinker and don't recall having Grant Burge before, but won't be asking for it again, just too dry for me).

QF839 29-05-14"Red curry duck" it was pretty good.

"A cup of champagne with your meal, Sir"?

AVML is asian vegetarian. The only nut free meal QF do.

Yes I was surprised when he first dropped it in the mug - that pesky glass of water was in the way.
