I flew LHR-ARN last night. I thought the food was better than before. The Cube was served with another small package containing a warm savory muffin. Initially it didn't look that filling but there was actually a decent amount of food in there. Similar themes to before but quality was much better.
When I finished the main a box of chocolates was brought over. I will try to upload pictures.

Interesting... given I'm often stuck on the 2-2 CRJ, this may help with the whole lack of space issue when trying to eat. It's currently near impossible to have anything but food on the tray given the dimensions of the box regardless of the flight, but with the CRJ there is no middle seat for additional space. I'm lucky to not have a seatmate most times. Cube shape potentially may satisfy my personal preferences.
It's still a month out before my next trip (passport renewal from abroad sucks) so I look forward to everyone else's experiences in the meantime ^.^

Had my first non-breakfast cube today. Cube not good, food really an improvement.
The cube sounds like a good idea, but is overrated (at least by Mr. Roald & co.). Looks nice – like an Apple-box – but doesn’t make much sense. I can’t have my laptop on the table on the same time either way.
The food improves by being separated, but it takes time to assemble. Cutlery is much too small, and you get greased fingers, because they have to dig deep to get the bottom things. And the napkin is more of a joke than ever before. And it is more complicated to put all the rubbish back into the box.
Food was really fine. Chickenbreast – Swedish, and it was NOT totally overcooked. Side dishes fine. Spanish kind of omelet (lukewarm) was OK. There were more food than I could eat. Nice Swedish chocolate.
My favorite red wine (Italian Zinfandel) has disappeared. Has been substituted by rosé.

Danish people do have a thing with rosé and summer. Though I don't know if that carries to Norway and Sweden as well....

Tasted the rosé at home. Pay d'Oc. Dosn' harm anybody. I am no fan of rosé - a bad compromise between red and white IMHO.
But yes, Danes and rosé and summer is popular mixture.

Also has become very popular summer drink for ladies in Germany... Rosé with ice cubes...
will rather take a beer than rosé (assuming there is no decent red or white) any day
On my last flight in Monday, they had red wine on board. Didn't look which one as it was to early for me (11am) but that didn't bother the guy next two me and he got served red.

Depending on what the non premium option is, it might very well be the premium option.
In short haul EU flights, the bar for premium wine is generally pretty low.
The grape alone is far from defining premium wine or not. Even the pinot meunier normally considered the inferior grape in the champagne district makes some very premium champagnes from a few select houses.

well, I have a good application for Zinfandel: a hot summer afternoon, well cooled Zinfandel -- really in these conditions you do not need or want a premium wine. Would never take in air conditioned environment, such as on board though ...
