I don't think so, unless there are multiple menus depending on the route. I was on LH MUC SFO three days ago and the menu was different, though pretty close to the december offerings. And, for the second offering, before landing, the menu theme was "Viva Mexico" for the january menu

I had the EXACT same menu on my JFK-MUC flight in December! The tenderloin was cooked to perfection, which was a BIG surprise!

I looked at my last F menu from ORD-FRA in October and it says it is for "Sept-Oct", so I've answered my own question. They rotate every 2 months this way.

Ritz-Calrton chefs are doing all the meals ex-USA for now in F.

I have a flight in a few weeks on this route so would like to know the menu - will post it when I can after the trip.

This makes perfect sense, and I believe all ex-USA stations would have the same first meal done by Ritz-Carlton as mentioned above.

I understand the menu changes every two months, and that a new menu would be introduced on January 1. I just posted the menu on my return from from Frankfurt to Dallas on January 3. This menu will be featured in January & February.
