Re: Sydney First Lounge

That looks fantastic

Thankfully I just had some changes to flights which means I might retain EXP his year and get to have one more shot at the SYD F lounge

Re: Sydney First Lounge

Do people actually eat pate? I tried some in a lounge a while back and it was awful. Pehaps it is meant to be like a type of garnish where you really only eat it if you are really desparate....

Do people actually eat pate???

I love it! As a accompaniment to biscuits or those bread square thingies - they rock! And various cheeses - although i will stop at blue cheese, i figure once its mouldy i really shouldn't be eating it...

Not a huge pate fan, but eat it. Same with most cheeses. Enjoy them, but don't go out of my way to them. Maybe I'm just not cultured enough!

Agree with you on the Blue Cheese thing - Mrs! and I eat out 2 -3 times a week if I'm home and have a fav Italian R we eat at. Cheese platter to finish the evening with a night cap - NO BLUE!!!

Mrs! LOVES Blue - its a small consession she makes for me - it must be love...

Re: Sydney First Lounge

I love both pate and all cheeses.

But haven't really grown to like dessert wine or port yet for some reason. It's supposed to go down well with the cheese and all, but somehow 'sickly sweet' is what comes to mind on the first mouthful most of the time.
