I then requested the pollack, and was given the vegetarian option. No, I would like the fish. Only then was I served the fish which, as it turns out, was quite dry. Not exactly what I'd expect on
AF out of CDG. I will say, however, that the duck shepherd's pie for the second meal service was excellent.
That clearly shouldn't happen, but I believe that's an isolated incident. I never faced this situation, and I'm talking about a lot of flights.
