NO coursed delivery - served all on one tray.

This was the worst D1 main meal I’ve ever had in terms of taste.

Amuse Bouche was just canned cocktail nuts that were majorly stale and rancid.

Salad was a random assortment of mostly carrots and onions. Soup was potato and leek, but served at a very unappetizing lukewarm temperature. It either needed to be much warmer, or much cooler.

I pre-selected the duck breast with chanterelle sauce after reading multiple good reviews of duck dishes out of Paris. This was so over cooked it was like a hockey puck. Flavor was horrible and extremely tough and dry. I mostly ate the vegetables and risotto.

For dessert it was either mini French pastries or the sundae. I selected the sundae (not pictured) and it was very good. The ice cream was partially thawed so was able to be eaten right away.

Pre-arrival meal was either a shrimp and potato salad or a ham and Comte cheese sandwich. I chose the sandwich and it was quite good! No complaints on the pre arrival meal. Made up for the bad main course.

Takehome message: Avoid the duck out of CDG.

Service was mediocre. The purser seemed to chat with obvious non-revs and didn’t seem to pay much attention to the revenue passengers. And no working entertainment system on a 10.5 hour flight made things even more fun.
