Blasphemy! Strip this man of all admin privileges.

Maybe it's a moderator thing, because I won't go near it either.

The duck went very nicely with the Brokenwood Pinot - the Viogner desert wine was quite nice as well

I had some QF First lounge S&P squid ~2008 that was rancid in the middle. I was a bit queasy after that. Until then I had been a fan of it - I have not eaten it since.

This memory was reinforced early last year in LAX:

Arrived at the First lounge about 7:45 and the place is busy if not bursting.

The place reeked of battered fishyness and not in a good way as a pale miasma of steam/cooking gasses was erupting from the kitchen area, although it has cleared up a bit recently - sounds like they have turned the exhaust fans up.

Service has been attentive ...

Too many WP flying Y?

No ... more likely they were pre-cooking a large batch of S'n'P Squid for the evening and the exhaust fans could not cope ...

I did move tables to the other side of the restaurant area, away for the kitchen aperture.

Hanging out for our visit next week...

I do miss the Hank's Triple Berry jam on my wholegrain toast ...

 

[Chalkie]

And I miss the croque monsieur. I offer my "feedback" (aka begging them to bring it back) every time I visit.

 

[Kangol]

Looks like they got rid of the Peter Lehmann Stonewell shiraz. Oh well

Mind you, Iggy's bread now listed alongside Brasserie - has Iggy's been on the menu before this?

Was there on my last visit in mid January.

That's so last decade Serfty. Get with the times man... The 2017 S&P Squid Challenge is now open.

But at least the champagne is back on the Menu

Just a pity the days of Bolly are long gone...

And the Delamotte!

And the Delamotte!

Delamotte was my favourite

Same here. I have the distinction of finishing the last glass from the last bottle in the MEL lounge a week after it had been removed from the menu.

Miss the Bolly too - I'm now on the Perrier Jouet bandwagon.

I'll throw a spanner into the works and give a thumbs up for the Mumm Rose, considering I was 'encouraged' to sample the whole bottle on my last visit.

I prefer the Mumm Rose too. Had a couple of glasses of all three champagnes when I visited in August. Ranked them like this:

1. Mumm Rose
2. Taittinger
3. Perrier

I too was encouraged to have a glass of the Mumm Rose the other day - it was very good. But I reverted to a Bloody Mary soon thereafter.
