Well, how would you describe it if you hadn't seen the menu? It was cheese crumbles and a creme fraiche like dairy product mixed together. It was not bad at all, and yes, it was flavourful. But it was just a cheese spread. Nothing more, nothing less.
I also liked the salmon (and the shimejis), nothing wrong with that except for the portion size. I agree with you on the fact that there was quite enough food for a six-hour flight, though. Problem is, AY serves the exact same amount of food on a 13-hour flight.

My guess is they will just tell you to take care of it at HEL, unfortunately. While the A333 is marginally slower than the A350, the flight times are well-padded, so the equipment change won't automatically mean that you will arrive with a delay, though.
