It was a great, long evening! Interesting to find out that so much of the food is actually deep-frozen stuff from Germany, even in J. But the fact that AY Kitchen has been chosen the best catering provider by JAL (both in Europe as well as network-wide) tells me that there's so much know-how and potential. ^

We counted 38 dishes + Jymy. Some of them were extraordinary, so I'll be looking forward to my longhauls next spring.

While there wasn't room for a big discussion of FTers' hopes and wishes, I guess many of us were able to pass on our most important points. Some of us talked to the IT guy about codesharing problems and experiences, and we also discussed desserts and mid-flight snacks. (Re: snacks, AY carries a tomato-mozzarella ciabatta on all longhaul flights, but it's not advertised. Ask CC and they'll heat one up for you. It's Alepa style, but pretty good when warm.)

Thanks AY!
