The crew was working nonstop! Eventually, a third cabin crew previously working in ET came to the front to help out.
I like the long catering, it is substantial. But the catering in general is repetitive. For example my OH's starter was the main on ZRH-LHR (tomato and mozarella). I overheard one passenger complain about the lack of variation.
One detail: The cutlery was missing a fork. It is supposed to have two forks and two knives, but we only had one fork. The cabin crew purser (there were 2 pursers on board working CE) joked 'they must now have first graders wrapping them up'.
