Asian Vegetarian (meal was coded "VLML" so it was the same as regular vegetarian) (Menu Card)
"Mediterranean Chick Pea and Eggplant Ragout", salad, roll, chocolate, water. Followed by small "Magnum" ice cream.

Jacob's Creek Shiraz Cabernet (not shown because I was only offered it about half an hour after the meal arrived)

Normally the vegetarian meal is reasonable to excellent, but not tonight... The sweet potato was nice, as were the slivers of capsicum in the salad, but the main part of the meal was quite unappealing, both before and after tasting it. The bread roll was slightly less stale than it normally is, though. Service was a bit sloppy, I was served first and the 2 passengers on the right of the row shortly afterwards, but my colleague sitting in between wasn't offered a meal until a good 20 minutes later (and then there was no choice for him as there was supposed to be, and no explanation or apology given). Drinks arrived for us several minutes after that.
