....What next? Rice & Dahl served on a banana leaf?..
Yes please
....What next? Rice & Dahl served on a banana leaf?..
Was it served (steaming) hot? When BA also started serving fish and chips I recall reading comments on another forum about the possibility of the smell of fried fish and wedges filling up the cabin.
Use whatever descriptor you like so long as the smell isn't pervasive throughout the cabin.I don't think HS&E allow anything to be served "Steaming hot" these days, do they?
"Warmed" would be a better description.

Red Roo has just posted that it should have been served with cutlery (a few posts up).
Edit: post 23
I cry every time I see someone cutting up the lettuce as if it was a piece of steak.

If we are going to try quintessential British food then, of course, mushy peas will need to accompany the beer-battered flathead and then we might look forward to pork pie (served cold) and delicious black pudding. But maybe not jellied eels!

Whatever you do, don't open any boxed meal containing a sauce when the box is pointing towards you. Turn the box through 180 degrees and open it pointing toward the seat back in front ...
On the 696 tonight, choice is: butter chicken with rice and naan or prosciutto risoni salad. I opt for the butter chicken. Fortunately, cutlery is handed out.
As I lift the lid, the lip flicks forward and the curry sauce - which has coated the lid on that side of the box - splatters my shirt. Honestly, you couldn't make this stuff up.
I try my best to wipe the sauce from my shirt and the FA on the second trolley, seeing my dilemma, offers me a wet towelette which I use as best I can.
Fortunately I have a regular taxi pick-up and so I'm able to laugh-off my predicament; my wife asks which Indian Restaurant I've stopped-off at on the way home.
The meal itself was tasty (there's obviously enough flavour in there such that a smattering lasts for hours!) - though you wouldn't class it as a classic butter chicken - plenty of rice and the naan was surprisingly OK. As previously, a second round by an FA handing out a Lindor ball. Great service on such a short flight.
I hope QF can get this right.
Oh .. and the shirt is in the laundry soaking in sards ...

I can't even open the onboard milk without being splashed so I've got no hope against a boxed meal
QANTAS - bibs are the answer.
