Did they call it a grain salad? Last I had this (in January) they said it was "proscuitto and corn salad" but what I was given was about 70% barley, 20% corn and 10% proscuitto like a garnish on top. When I was offered something similar again a couple of weeks ago I said "is that the barley dish?" and they said "um, yes" and I suggested that they should identify it as a barley salad since that is what is mostly is and not call it a proscuitto salad.QF714 BNE/CNS 3pm departure
Choice of prosciutto and grain salad or cornish pastie. No pre-departure drink of water/juice etc and no pre meal drink either.

That is one tired menu.I think all of the mains options on the menu have been in circulation since 2019, it's a shame they haven't revamped the menu - at this point it feels like a game of "pick the least unappealing/most difficult to stuff up"
I hope you'll be asking for compensation for the inop IFE.
Wines loaded were:
Voyager Chardonnay 2017
Shaw + Smith Sav Blanc 2021
Haselgrove Switch GSM 2017
McWilliam's McW Regional Collection Shiraz 2017
Almost exactly my lunchtime experience BNE-SYD QF527 today. Produced a tray with a Y nibblies selection, went for the packet of chippies which were mini rice crackers. Only drinks offered were still water in Y bottles or sparkling plus meh tea or coffee. Excuse was that they didn't load J catering to turn around the plane faster. Only problem with the excuse is that EF told me the plane arrived 20 mins late and departed 30 mins late. The only people we saw get a hot meal were the flight deck. We smelt it cooking.Staff apologised profusely to us for having no catering onboard so offered us a packet of biscuits.
Just wondering if you had the F menu to LAX for us?Will get one on Friday
Same experience as my late afternoon flight QF474 MEL-SYD yesterday. I was pretty confused when my glass of wine came in a plastic cup. We did receive some tuna sandwiches though and the usual pretzels/nuts, but still disappointing for an evening flight during dinner.Staff apologised profusely to us for having no catering onboard so offered us a packet of biscuits. The CSM said there is a massive problem in MEL and many flights not being catered. No glasses onboard as they hadn’t been cleaned so plastic cups distributed.
