Qantas Salt & Pepper Squid thread

Sorry guys and gals, I'm over S&P squid and am giving it a rest. I find it fills me up too much for the other goodies to come. Perhaps after a while I may go back.

Have been over it for a long time.

The S&P squid is one of those dishes that anyone can make at home in an air fryer. There’s no discernible difference between the F lounge and the stuff that comes out of the supermarket freezer. Enjoyable but over rated. IMO

I don’t have an air fryer, so I guess I just need to fly QFi or a partner airline…

I’ll probably have some shortly!

I don't usually eat fatty roasted or fried food; pan, deep or air, at home so, notwithstanding that I am past S&P squid, it was always a treat.

I have been over it since 2007 when I was served some in SYD First which was 'rancid' around the edges. I had a moratorium on it from then until the lounges reopened after COVID-19 and one time it was the only non plant based protein available on the abridged menu's they had then.

Maybe 10 years ago I arrived at the LAX First lounge before 6pm and was seated near the kitchen. A pale miasma of steam/cooking gasses began to erupt from the cooking area, streaming out over the dining tables. They were pre-cooking a large batch of S&P Squid for the evening and the exhaust fans could not cope. The place reeked of battered fishiness and not in a good way. Fortunately I was able to an other part of the dining area, away from the kitchen aperture.

In the SIN F lounge now. As recently as four posts again have said that I think it’s over rated and I stick by that. Ordered it again anyway and was enjoyable, plenty of mayo and green chilli sauce. Ultimately though it is easily made at home and that’s why it is over rated.

Thanks to the generosity of @Robert K donating a Flounge pass, I got to partake of salt and pepper squid for the second time on 28 December in SYD. Was as good as I remembered it last time.
