Service: Breakfast
Meal: Ham & cheese omelette with Neil's take on parmentier potatoes. Pretty standard QF breakfast, the other option available was toasted muesli. Just the one bakery option - a Portuguese egg tart.

Flight: QF490 MEL-SYD 1930 departure
Service: Dinner
Meal: The two dinner options were beef casserole w/ mash potato or a cheese plate, as pictured below. The casserole and mash was tasty but very sloppy, and the cheese plate was best described as lacklustre. The only bakery option was a cheese & garlic loaf which seems like cost-cutting on a wide body service (previously two options I believe?) but the bread exceeded expectations regardless.

The flight was operated by an A333 which had just come off PER-MEL, I wonder if the cheese plates were left overs from that leg? It was a fairly full cabin, I hope they didn't run out of casseroles because there's no way the cheese was a sufficient dinner.
