Qantas has a new Q-Eat programme available for pre-selection for international flights departing from Australia. I wasn’t quite curious enough, but Richard took up the online exclusive offer when I pointed out to him that there’s duck! On a flight! Economy class! This was available on our 9-ish-hour QF117 international flight from Sydney to Hong Kong.
Lunch order: Duck a l’Orange brussel sprouts and creamy mash potatoes (online exclusive) – “Classic French dish in which duck breast is roasted and served with orange sauce, consisting of herbs, vegetables, orange zest and juice. The duck is then accompanied with brussel sprouts and creamy mash potatoes.”
That description. So fancy.

It arrived like this:

So it sounded a little fancier than it looked…


Over here, I stuck to my very safe, reliable and/or boring fruit platter. (Mostly boring.)

“Later in the flight” snack for all: Weis ice cream bar (as usual).

“Prior to arrival” meal is a Beef, spinach and cheese gozleme.
