Best meal ever! The canapés and appetizer were nothing short of superb, very fresh lobster. Main course I thought would be warm, it was cold but very good nonetheless (I love salmon). The dessert was a rather interesting interpretation of the concept of crème brûlée, so it was not what I expected but it toowas pretty nice all the same. Drinks all excellent, champagne could be had at all times. It felt very good, just sitting there sipping champagne, cruising at Mach 2 with the world 57000 feet below us! I was a bit disappointed with the plastic cutlery, but it's the only flaw in an otherwise very special meal; the flight attendants also worked really hard and their service was impeccable. Food was also available in the Concorde Lounge at Heathrow, I had some very nice sandwiches but I forgot to take a pic of them. All in all a superb experience which will be hard to top.
