It was pasta in a cream sauce with mushrooms and a large (for Y) piece of cake. I didn't measure the box, but it seems sizeable enough for a Y meal and was served hot. I will take that any day over a cold serving of ham and a slice of melon. But of course everyone has their preferences. And I would expect the front of the plane ate very well on this route. I flew ATH-AMS with KL in biz back before they upgraded their Euro-biz offerings and even then it was a nice dinner on that route.
