Yep- it definitely is. Had it twice now and can confirm that this Reuben is one of the tastier Qantas offerings!

Ughh that menu doesn’t look great.
I’ve got award seats on QF29 in September but still looking at other options

I can say it was a sweet choice

I had a …. Chairman’s lounge travel companion
The Bethany was a lovely Shiraz

Our September CX J experience to HKG was way better than QF30 @jase05

Glad to hear. We’re using CX to Europe in July and it’s one of the few OW carriers I’ve somehow never flown so a bit anxious about the meals. Sounds like there’s nothing to worry about!

We paid just over 6k return each and on the way back depart Paris one week before the Olympics so that deal was a no-brainer.

Have flown CX many times and even on the intra Asian routes I’ve found the food good. They do a pretty good job IMO

I also think this menu doesn't look great. I'm taking this flight in August. Might eat a bit more in the lounge.

That's a great deal @Berlin
We flew CX178 a midnight MEL departure, best beef fillet I have had ( even beat EK F!)
Must have their Cloud Nine signature coughtail
Look forward to you posting some snaps.

Will definitely take pictures and post a trip report on here. That beef fillet indeed looks awesome!

Farmer wants a LITE?
Absurd to think any airline would offer this in any meal seems too niche. Only in Straya

Not too dissimilar to some salad plates or charcuterie plates I've had on BA.

OK, so BA wasn't a great example...

I flew VN J on a domestic route recently. The flight was about 90 minutes and got this salad. Sure, the meat component was warm, but is it streets different to the Ploughman's plate? Not in my opinion.

To be fair I believe the ploughman is served outside of main meal times. I find it spot-on what you would want during those hours.

Yeah, I like it and much better than some of the other stuff dished up

I just think the ploughman looks very down to earth and I've never seen a dish like that before and the oily cheese wrapped in red layer that eastern europeans like so it looks basic and exotic at the same time (especially the round cheese) which is a huge irony!? Also the noodle dish looks more normal because it got noodles and salad but that's just me. The sauces look more abnormal though if they come in prepackaged containers I would have thought it looks normal (minus the extra veggie and lack of protein and noodle enhancement (like a few sprinkles here and there will do the trick and make it look extra normal). Oh and the peanuts thank goodness no one is going to die of a food allergy (which I haven't noticed until i came to the epiphany that you probably can't serve peanuts on a western flight)

Ploughman's is not dissimiliar to short haul meals I've seen on the likes of LH or LX J tbh.
