Qantas Business Class meals & menus

[Aeryn]

Offering a meat-free dish is not forcing vegetarianism.

It is if there is no other option available. And soup is a starter not a main.

I never mentioned 100% meat diet - that ridiculous assertion was invented by you. Of course i eat fruit and veg and some grains but they are an accompaniment and do not make a complete satisfying meall imo.

My point iwas it is very easy to get a guranteed vegetarian or vegan meal by placing a special order but there isnt that facility available to ensure you get the hot animal protein option. Therefore there needs to be sufficient animal protein meals loaded for evey J pax who hasnt ordered a special meal.

I’d ask someone to pass the popcorn, but that might give the impression I’m taking sides.

Just imagine if a system existed through which one could pre-order from a menu.

Of course it is! And “if a vegan option is so important to you, maybe you should plan ahead…” and simply pre-order a special veggie meal. Which one cannot do with the “beef meal”.

So in my mind, as long as that greens with greens dish is available as a special meal option, there is no need at all to offer a veggie based option on the regular menu, let alone having this as the only option in an from row 2 which is just ludicrous. Unless this is all nothing but a hidden cost saving exercise, of course… ;-)

I eat meat. I wouldn't think it's acceptable to require me to pre-order a meat dish.

I don't think being vegetarian is so unusual or special, that it requires someone to pre-order that meal.

Having a vegetarian option on a menu is completely fine.

If Qantas is not loading enough meat dishes to cater to those who wish to eat meat, then that is a different problem.

Domestic business a lot of people will book or move flights inside the cut-off for the pre-ordering of special meals.

Everyone can eat vegetarian. And loading more meat meals… not everyone likes the same meat. I could load 6 pork and have 2 people tell me they can’t eat pork.

At least with vegetarian every one can eat it?
