I'll take some pics tomorrow on LH and will report back.
I find LH's food to be basically plated Y food (which, to be fair, is much better than UA's Y food), but it's still small portions/not particularly tasty. UA's food is nothing to write home about, but it's usually fairly edible and filling.
The LH FAs I've had in C are hit or miss, same as UA. LH has better alcohol selection. UA has a much better entertainment selection.
The LH old C seat is an embarrassment for a global airline. The new seat is pretty nice, I'd marginally prefer it to UA's seat.
Overall, net/net, I'd say they're about even. To be honest, all of the major TATL carriers are about even in C.
AF/KLM/Delta/UA/AA/LH/BA have about the same seats and service standards. I guess one could try some of the foreign carriers in C for novelty value but I usually just choose the most convenient one now, no point in going out of the way to fly on any of the above.
