Gosh, why didn't I think of that? I never even opened that pack of biscuits.

By the way, I've noticed that on Cityhopper flights the FA usually adds a pack of biscuits to the meal box, which box they always present to you open. On mainline flights you never get the biscuits (although they do stock them), and there's a good chance they will hand you a closed Wonderful Wanders Box. Probably so you can the more admire the unique design.

I guess that goes for the pomegranate seeds too. I'll be sure to count them next time!

At least the apricot pie is not covered in powdered sugar, which unavoidably flies over the place every time you take a bite. I can't recall if it's the apple pie or the cherry one that's generously powdered. The former, I think.

As for Greta's Green Cutlery . . . FAs tell me that pax are far from impressed. What a surprise!

That Golden Horde Cutlery, on the other hand, has its uses. Reuseable and almost indestructible, I have a set that travels with my in a backpack on road trips. Great when I get my lunch from, say, a Whole Foods Market hot bar.
