Did you order a special meal? I've only see those bags before for special meals.At my seat there was a QF bag filled with various types of snacks (this is a first for me on any airline):
But hopefully she does not expect others to love it. That's the protein I eat the least and would not wish it on the menu, either.Vanessa apparently loves the beef!
I think the QF economy meals are appalling (for a ‘full service’ carrier)I refused my SYD-AKL cardboard box.
I’ll eat near anything but some slop in a box is below my (low) standards.

Hi.at least the moderator allowed your pics.. My comments were banned as I said QF were a budget carrier. I fly with JQ and TG as QF do not service my ports. I would rather pay for food than eat QF food. Flew MEL / HKG. and was horrified with catering. Attendants even handed me a roll without gloves on top of meal.Just noticed this thread and thought I'd share a couple of recent trips I took on Qantas operated flights internationally (including to the US, if you consider US bound flights international):
QF81 : SYD > SIN (Sept 22):

What low cost airlines?I think the QF economy meals are appalling (for a ‘full service’ carrier)
Even low cost carriers serve a tray with an entree, salad, main, cheese & bread

What LCC's do that on a 3 hour flight like SYD-AKL? DY didn't ARN-LGW and U2 certainly didn't LGW-GIB....I think the QF economy meals are appalling (for a ‘full service’ carrier)

I thought it was cardboard boxes on domestic but plastic dish and "plate" for international (sometimes no plate)?SYD-AKL Chicken Schnitzel last night

It was fine.
I've still yet to encounter the infamous Qantas cardboard box - maybe I'm just lucky? Or have they stopped doing them?
Looks still better than what I got on AKL - MEL in J in late 2022 when Mickey Mouse prepared the tray.I thought it was cardboard boxes on domestic but plastic dish and "plate" for international (sometimes no plate)?
I guess with Trans-Tasman, given the muddling with domestic service standards, it could go either way (even though it should go international, of course).
I don’t know what Qantas/the Caterer were smoking overnight but today’s QF156 (AKL - MEL) J offering was absurd. It almost felt like someone who works in places like the Reject Shop had a go today and packed whatever he/she could find in the shelves on the tray and a bit more.
Having said that, the dried fruit from non-sellable fruit were delicious and the crackers & salsa did the job.
The omelette was unfortunately non-edible and has been handed back to the cabin crew.
A big shout out to the ISM in J, Mary King, great service, great smile, and very proactive in asking for top-ups etc.
