Aircraft type & class: Airbus A330-200 Economy
Business or leisure trip: Business
Meal type: Supper
Contents of the meal: Green salad with red wine vinaigrette, roll and butter, chicken Balti with basmati rice, chocolate biscuit
Drink: water, white wine
Comments: Given that this was a red-eye special, crossing 3 time zones in 3 hours overnight, the crew thought they could quickly feed us and tuck us up for the night. Food was hurriedly dished out. the stewardess told me that the choice was Three-cheese pasta or chicken basil. I asked for the chicken - it turned out that she couldn't read, as it was chicken Balti - and pretty spicy too - NOT something you'd want to ingest just before sleep. I had one mouthful and washed the taste away with the wine.

Meal type: Lunch
Antipasto starter
Salad of chicken with tomato, cucumber and coriander yoghurt dressing
Cheese
Drink: Water, Peppermint Tea
Comments: Antipasto starter with cold smoked salmon was really quite good and plentiful, although I found the chicken salad main to be rather a let down with the chicken being dry. I would have preferred the bread to arrive with starter but we had to wait until the main. Cheese included a camembert and cheddar. Very good sized portions for a three hour flight. Peppermint tea option was welcome. Surprisingly good selection of meal and drink options considering there were only eight BC seats on the flight.
