Qantas Salt & Pepper Squid thread

[Kangol]

I'd wolf down as much of that S&P squid as you can before you get on that flight on Qantas. Just flew F DFW to SYD and all 3 courses of the dinner were inedible. Got through half of each course with one glass of some $50 champers as the stewardess forgot to come back with my dinner wine. A shocker it was.

The menu ex-DFW is usually the same as ex-LAX.
Can you post it along with photos or descriptions in this thread?

Qantas First Class menus

Thought it might be good idea to have a thread on the F menus by QF. I'd welcome anyone who has copies of the menus to post them, including older ones from when the A380 was first in service and 747 menus. The champagne list is the same, so I've only included it once. MEL-DXB QF9 July 2015...

Don't ever recall QF having a $50 champagne on their F menu

Wasn’t planning to eat onboard so had 4 courses which was my lunch and dinner. I’m beyond stuffed at the moment!


sorry for polluting this thread with non S&P pic but thought the Sin F unique dishes (laksa and grilled skate) could be of interest to some.

How about $22.50?

 

[Captain Halliday]

Is that a true representation of the colour, or is it just the lighting?

It’s not the same as my naked eye. It’s taken on an iPhone with flash - so make whatever allowances you think appropriate.

The green wasn’t actually that dark.

But tbh, the squid was slightly over cooked.

This was my first thought.... What strange delights are going on in the F lounge.

Clearly not for Business Class plebs.

MEL Int. Flounge. No chilli version.



But I know to order a side of 🌶

 

[Kangol]

Did you eat all of that chilli?
For those complaining mentioning the lack of redness, is the green chilli sauce not hot enough?

 

[RooFlyer]

No; I'm not a big chili eater; anyway, the stuff they served on the side was pretty mild. The sauce was tangy rather than hot.

 

[drron]

The green chilli sauce is way too mild.

Salt and Pepper squid, served in LAX (30Nov2019), complete with chillies, and complemented with an “Ume Sour”.

 

[Tropic]

Lax earlier this year

Purely for @JohnM and this thread.



MEL F. Plenty of very mild chillies. First few pieces enjoyed but soon reminded I’m not the biggest fan. Still, quality was good so a tick from me. Just something I’ll order once every two years I reckon.

Changi F. It wasn't very nice.

Same experience 2 weeks ago. Couldn’t finish the dish, the squid were really dry and batter soaked in oil.

LHR. Note that the S&P squid is available to everyone, not just OWE/F level pax.
It was quite nice.

With the bonus of not picnic cutlery .

Singapore Flounge. Two days ago. Absolutely fine.
