Economy Class

Lunch - 2 Salmon Steaks, with potatoes, onion and celery. Plus a (hot) roll (with Lurpak butter), and a chocolate sweet type thing. (Menu Card)

White Bordeaux (Chateau de Mirambeau) with Whisky & Tomato Juice chaser. Plus Aquad'or water on the tray, sachet of milk, and a cup of what was reportedly coffee, but which came with globules of tar.

"Well this meal look superb. Full marks to SAS for presentation. Alas the actual content was woeful - one of the worst meals I've had on SAS in a long time. I couldn't wait to get stuck in... only to find that the whole thing had been refrigerated to minus someting very cold... I had to crunch through ice on the salmon, which had seen much better days. Meanwhile my knife shattered on the potatoes they were so hard. As for the weird celery gunge that come with it... yuck! The roll itself had been superheated and hence rebaked, so it was equally solid, but at least hot, so I could warm up the fish on it. Be warned that SAS does not offer alternatives... if you don't like whats on the plane - tough. Nice chocolate though. One tip I've found with SAS... the wine is offered with a terrible plastic glass - but theres a real glass glass on the tray, so you're better off using that. Also - have a look at the inscription on the pepper - it reads "Pepper - the gift of the east, though gift means "poison" in Swedish. But don't let that put you off". Thats either very funny, or very true!
