Can the 1000 people who voted to get rid of the vegan square chocolate off the tray revote to add some other kind of chocolate?

Makes no sense y'all voted it off to ask for pantry chocolate???????

Is the pantry chocolate also vegan??

I’m not sure chocolate can be vegan… but it certainly explains a lot!

Chocolate can absolutely be vegan.
Most Dark chocolate is already vegan but milk chocolate is made by adding milk. If you use soy or almond milk for instance this also becomes a vegan chocolate.

errr…. yes. I’m not sure they count as ‘milk’

26 Dec SYD-NAN. Breakfast flight due to 8:30 departure so it was eggs or eggs (unfortunately). I picked the Frittata. Plus-one picked the scrambled eggs, bacon and potato. Both were fine but nothing to write home about. I would have been good to have a non-eggy option! Service was pleasant and attentive with no deviation from SOPs but also not especially personable or warm.

This was also the two options on VA820 SYD-MEL on the same day (26/12). Orders taken and served 1A-1F, 2A-2F. Only difference that being a short flight, we didn't get a side serving of fruit, but we got the Christmas Lindt Lindor and the fruit mince pie

I think what some people fail to appreciate is the potential “silent” 1000 are fed up with “woke vegan” everything… so if the question was “do you want to get rid of vegan chocolate”, of course the people who don’t feel they are allowed to loudly express their anti-woke opinions are going to vote Yes. But if the question was “do you want something sweet on the tray”, perhaps they would get a different answer from the 1000.

Sometimes people in society feel that “diversity” means allowing everything for the smallest percentage of society to the potential detriment to the vast majority, but others don’t accept this premise. (Not expressing my view, just presenting potential views which seem to be forgotten)

Could also see the question to have a hidden agenda and basic yes or no without anything to replace it with.

Curious to know what you know about the service SOP to make comment like that

Mrs Hawk and I did BNE-SYD yesterday mid-afternoon (1535 departure). PDB's of OJ and still water were there pre-prepped on the tray.
We were on one of the ex-Silk Air birds, so no divider however our CM was quite vigilant in firmly turning back the 2 or 3 who tried to use the J lav.
Meal offer was either Tomato & Cashew Pesto macaroni with optional chicken (which I took) or the Christmas special of Roast Turkey with Roast potatoes and veg, which Mrs Hawk took.
Orders were taken 1AC 2AC 2DF 1DF, with a VA pilot in 1D.
The "Christmas special" looked and tasted great however the Tomato and Pesto pasta was the blandest thing I've had on VA and the serving of chicken was poor to say the least.
Drinks were proactively refilled and service was good, however the Mac was nothing special.

Please stop mentioning SOP. it's awkward AF reading it.

Ah, yes. The Walk of Shame to the rear of the cabin.

Reminds me of those frozen meals you find in the Aldi freezer sub $10

Not even. I've had better mac and cheese out of a packet. Yes, there will be a feedback email going in.

Another reference photo for the Southern style chicken which appeared quite regularly recently.



Had a Chardonnay to go with the meal and noticed there was no chocolate on the tray anymore.

Food and drinks were pretty good and did not feel rushed even though it was a short flight form SYD to MEL. Meal orders were in order from 1A to 2F.

CM Sam was great and we had a good chat as she recognised me from a recent flight.

Interestingly Sam show me pictures of both meals on her iPad when she came and took the meal orders (the other option being yellow curry with rice with optional chicken).
