The salad I hd last week was cold peas and corn with some creamy sauce....not edible.
See normally I wouldn't mind that kind of salad... basically Russian salad without any meat on the poverty line.
Seriously, it would be alright - probably should throw some diced carrots in it.
even in J, the salad IMHO shouldn't be served. I wouldn't be interested in some salad with some particularly sour vinaigrette when I'm hungering for the starters to be served!
Bring on the sour vinaigrette! I must be in the minority here.
They don't do a lot of justice to the side salad in J anyway. Basically a handful of green leaves - would it be so hard to offer a tailored salad service (greens, cherry tomatoes, red onions, grated carrot, olives)...... hey, there's an idea - someone tell QF...
For example, for the last 2 rotations of Y starters, they have been:
Rocket and Parmesan salad for Jun-Aug 14
Salad of Coleslaw and baby spinach Sep-Dec 14
clearly these starters are inedible for most and scrapping them would be a good choice for a much more larger main.
That's a shame because I like rocket and parmesan. In many cases, the rocket has lost its pepper quality (no idea why) so it doesn't sting, but when it does I can see it is polarising.
Not sure why coleslaw and baby spinach go together.
The sample menu on Ausbt (for US services) actually looks quite decent for Y. Curious to know what would happen if you didn't want the Bickford's drink? Is there an alternative available, or a instead a wait for the drink service?
I would hope they would put on the tray some water. Otherwise, I wonder what lemon and elderflower tastes like. I'd probably be wrong here, but whilst I know that Bickfords make cordials, surely at least one of the offerings would be more subtle in the sweet department than the other...
