I only learned about the daily special, because I asked “what’s no longer available” when the FA came to my seat. He wouldn’t have volunteered the information that there was a special.
I had the same experience a few month ago and attributed it to the fact that I had ordered another starter.. But I also wonder if the FAs do not keep some for themselves, as it is the often the only truly good food on the plane. My recollection is that LX loads several of those pieces of Balik in vacuumed bags. Although they probably are also for the return flight, there seems to be plenty for 8 + 8, hence my hypothesis.
The Zurich style veal may have been the one available for pre-order in C. I ordered it on one of my last trips in J and it is not worth the time to fill the pre-order. Hence you did not miss anything.
