For the PDB I tried the Moscow mule for the first time. Not bad, but didn't feel right drinking on a 20 degree day. Feels more like a great choice on a hot summer day. Warm, actually almost too hot to the touch nuts were served about 20 minutes in. Dinner was choice of chicken, sausage and shrimp paella or some panko crusted chicken dish with a Japanese name no one ever heard of. The purser even joked, about the chicken vs. chicken choices. I went with the paella which was quite bland and definetly not one of my my favorite dishes of recent memory. Served with a Japanese type cole slaw served with a peanut dressing. Warm pretzel roll was the highlight.
My only suggestion is to wait a while before serving the warm cookie. It seems like it's always served immediately following dinner with a good 1 1/2 hours remaining on the flight. If they would wait about 40 minutes, it would go down perfectly with the coffee and baileys that I always order to end my evening flight. First world, I mean, first class problems, I know.
