Qantas international Economy Class meals

[hutch]

QF1 Syd to Sin - 13 May

Similar to Matt's earlier post - which I've copied appropriately.

Water, then pretzel/soy cracker mixes and offered drinks after takeoff.

Then lunch with 3 choices available - twice cooked beef and rice (not sure why cooking beef twice is a selling point), Roast chicken and veg, plus the vegetable pasta - with I think AFF's favourite orange vegetable.

Served with a focaccia and cheese & crackers.

Went the beef.



Was an acceptable international economy meal.

Bulla ice creams then handed out after lunch.

The flight crew came around offering snacks later in the flight, which were also available in the galley.

A snack served before landing - a pie and a mozzarella and cauliflower arancini ball (I think).


Sauce was provided.

Apart from perhaps having a small side salad with lunch, can't ask for much more.

Good service from crew. Feedback provided.

In theory, it would suggest a more tender end result (though a long slow cook once should yield the same result). In practice... well.

If I saw it on a menu, I personally would specifically interpret it favourably in terms of increasing my chances of getting a tender rather than tough and chewy beef, just as I do the term "slow-cooked".

Unless they just mean reheating it in an airplane oven... or is it now thrice-cooked?
