What happened to table cloth on tray . I think that’s a good way to keep things clean good for the environment

Think it's only on transcontinental and international flights

In a very approximate sense.

Tandoori Pie

I wonder if it’s been within 100 km of a tandoor?

Doubt it - gonna guess the filling uses a "tandoori" commercial seasoning. (No, I would never think the pie itself is cooked in a tandoor)

FWIW I wonder how many Indian restaurants actually have a tandoor, even if it's a modern metal based one rather than traditional clay oven. (Yes, I'm well aware there must be some good Indian restaurants in almost any major centre in Australia...)

I think the vast majority in Sydney, where it's quite common to see even food court Indian joints with tandoors...

They do fly to India now so I guess they’re appealing to the customers based between sydney and Melbourne

Having eaten several QF Indian meals between MEL and DEL I can confidently say that the rubbish QF serves is nothing like proper Indian cuisine.

As I think you imply, they have a bit of work to do,

Tandoori chicken pie Recipe | Healthy Eating Advisory Service

I think they got this meal from here

I have no confidence that that thought entered into the decision-making process in proposing that pie for the domestic offering.

It's a chicken pie with tandoori seasoning. Appeal to Indians due to having them in the network? You'd have more luck urinating on their foot and telling them it's raining...

Why'd they choose the pie? Probably less difficult to stuff up, cheap, easy to cater, and most (I said, most) food with spices holds up well in the air. Reminds me of those butter chicken pastry puffs they serve in Y.

Having eaten several QF Indian meals between MEL and DEL I can confidently say that the rubbish QF serves is nothing like proper Indian cuisine.

This is no way an out, but even Indian carriers don't necessarily do a great job consistently either. Not sure how Indian people see the offerings (if they select them at all), though seeing Indian people eat average Indian food in Australia is telling.

Shoutout to Monica (CSM) - she was fantastic!

Wow - two full substantial meals? They don't even do that on the Japan services, do they?

Maybe that’s why they’re cutting the Seoul service. Don’t like paying for two full meals.

That can't be the Seoul reason...

Chicken & rice or
falafel and dip and olives . Olives are the best in my opinion

I just had 6 flights up and down the east coast over Easter - 3 each way. The meals were exactly the same on 4 flights (beef ragout pasta or chicken salad), including one leaving at 9am . The last beef ragout (BNE-MEL) was full of gristle and completely inedible. So disappointing. The chicken salad was nice and refreshing, but I honestly don't want it for breakfast!
