Qantas First Class menus

[Melburnian1]

Honestly, I don’t know what they were. They were kind of tart/sweet. They didn’t taste like tomato.

Persimmons? I have some at home, purchased from Melbourne's Queen Victoria Market. Once ripe, delicious.

They do look like kumquats. If so they are quite a nice fruit provided you eat the whole thing skin and all

I agree - I'd go for kumquats. Sliced in half, deseeded (or mostly so), then cooked down slowly until soft and then maybe cooked in a syrup.

Would suit well with a lemon tart or flan, assuming that there's some definitive tartness to the lemon.

Are the FAs embarrassed, or oblivious to the poor quality, because that's all they see?

I'd say oblivious. Very few would fly First (or even Business) on carriers such as EK, SQ and JL.

I've always thought it to be the same reason for service, too. I genuinely think the front line staff have no clue what they're competing against.

Mr Flyfrequently's Mum used do something similar @anat0l
Somehow she turned her home grown coughquats into a delicious potent brandy/liqueur

With mains like that, you normally make them as such if you want to show off the quality of the produce.

On board a plane, that's taking a big risk in order to impress.

I’m. A little confused.

I read the mains of chicken and fish as rather simple. I mean, they're just seared, with simple sides and dressing.

This is a nice fresh meal if you have really good produce. Also good if you're not looking for something too heavy.

But in the air, the produce isn't as fresh, and if you don't pull it off right, you've got a boring dish. Like, a really boring dish.

Would probably have been better to put up a dish with more bold flavours or with some punch.

Then again, it is the SIN-LHR leg with supper, so heavy may not be what people would be going for.

What did you end up picking?

Scrambled eggs were really good and chocolate mouse for breakfast

Had the seared garoupa and snow peas recently, agree that it was tasty but boring with only 2 ingredients. Would have benefitted from another side, perhaps rice/potato based. Not Neil’s salad which I can’t help thinking of as a cost saving menu filler.
