Flew MUC-DEN yesterday in Polaris (after a couple of back and forth aircraft switches).
  • Finally had that cauliflower thing everyone seems to hate. Have to admit, when I looked at it, I wondered who had been smoking what. But you know what - it had actual flavour and textures. My plate was clean at the end - I'm all for keeping things interesting.
  • No printed menus
  • Options were - short rib, chicken, fish arrabbiata, and a veggie dish
  • I had the fish - it was a miniscule portion, but is going to be my go-to dish until the Thai chicken makes a comeback. Pretty solid.
  • The veggie dish, which my travel companion had, was an utter disgrace. A coupe of carrots, some dry kale, and mashed potato in a casserole dish. The purser was so aghast that of his own volition he went back to coach and brought up two veggie options (one with baked beans, and a lasagne) as an alternative. He urged us to provide negative feedback and was clearly embarrassed.
  • The ice-cream was a disgusting goopy mess. The chocolate sauce tasted worse than Hershey's, if that's possible. The ice cream was slush.
  • I was offered an egg-custard tart, which turned out to be some kind of a berry tart. Not great.

Quite the contrast from my SFO-IST outbound on TK, whose business class catering, absent the caviar, probably tops many airlines in F. (And I prefer the TK 777 seat for sleeping, but that's for another thread)
