Main - Cous Cous style meal consisting of rice, peas, beans and peppers in a slightly spicy tomato sauce.

Comments: Starter - Not particularly appetising in appearance! Ate a few pieces of apple.
Main - Nice looking main - a little over cooked and dry underneath, but still tasty. Would be better if there was more than one consistency/variety to put on fork though!!
Dessert - Brownie very dry, did not eat much of it! Apple puree would have been alright if it had been covered with pastry and made into a proper dessert, not just on its own in a tub!!
Accompaniments - Bread roll very cold, I warmed it on top of my main meal dish! I would have preferred real butter to the margarine.
As per usual with the vegetarian meal, I was served well before everyone else, meaning I did not get the offer of a drink first, but I requested a white wine when I was served, and the F/A took it to me immediatly (also came back very soon after to offer me more - I took it!) I received a small carton of water when the non-vegetarian meals received a full bottle - dont know why!
I am a vegetarian, but I am often tempted to select a regular meal and avoid eating the meat, just so I am not presented with what seems to be a vegan meal!! All in all, not a meal to complain about.
The F/A who served us was very pleasant and attentive.
