I ended up purchasing a Signature Fruit and Cheese Platter
(I'm so fancy) for $7 and I got a Pork Yakisoba for $6 for the kid. The yakisoba looked so good in the photo and
event the description was teasing me: shredded pork with a tangy Szechuan sauce
over yakisoba noodles. I should have
known better. Tasted like a wannabe TV
dinner…and I like TV dinners. The sauce
was gross.
The fruit and cheese platter, on the other hand, was just
what I needed. It featured Beecher’s
Flagship handmade cheese, a semi-hard cow’s milk cheese straight from Seattle’s
historic Pike’s Place Market. It’s pure,
all-natural, additive-free, and aged 15 months.
How do I know this? I copied it
off of the menu. The cheese was REALLY
good, event though it was just one little triangle. The other cheeses were Tillamook Sharp
Cheddar, which is always good, and a nice wedge of Brie. Told you it was fancy. It came with a little cluster of red and green
grapes, and a few slices of apples. I
love apples and cheese. The platter only
had 4 Partners Olive Oil and Sea Salt crackers, but it was enough. Well actually...those crackers are crack and I could have
eaten more. They’re thick and crisp with
obvious sea salt and definitely an upgrade from Saltines or Skyflakes. I would consider getting this on the flight
back, if I’m not stuffed from all the local grinds.
Of course they offer in-flight complimentary beverages, and
the good part about going to the Islands is that there are way more free drink
options, like guava juice and P.O.G., or pineapple, orange, guava. You know I chose one of those because you can
get cranberry juice anywhere.
