When flying in BE from AMS-DTW departing AMS at 8.35 AM, what are the two meal services? I'm accustomed to my westbound TATL BE flights departing Europe after 11.00 AM and being served the full lunch menu, i.e. the seasonal menu with a couple of starters, soup and choice of four entrés with wine after first having been served a cocktail and warm nuts. Then the light meal of a salad or sandwich before landing.
I'm guessing that with an 8.35 AM departure, there is a breakfast service to start? What is generally on the menu? Is there a full meal later in the flight, or the traditional light meal before landing? I hadn't actually thought about it previously since all of my TATL legs for many years, in both directions, have either been in the afternoon or evening, so the traditional lunch/dinner menus.
Thanks,

You will get a full breakfast after takeoff. App is yogurt, fruit and bread; entrees are typically a choice of: rubbery omelet, super-sweet french toast/pancakes (often stuffed with a fruit concoction), or a massive bowl of cheerios (safest & my recommendation). Then they roll out the normal BE dessert cart which is just a weird time to eat an ice cream sundae. One time on morning LHR-DTW the FAs improvised in a very smart way by holding off the dessert course until about halfway through the flight - a sundae makes a nice midflight snack. After learning that trick I will sometimes ask them if I can have the dessert course later in the flight, usually they say yes.
Pre-arrival will be the standard salad or sandwich.
