Please post all images of A3's food and beverage offerings in both Economy and Business Class, both domestic and international routes.
A posting hint:
The maximum image resolution that FT can cope with is 800 x 600. Posting images beyond this limit pushes them beyond the page margins, making the visual appearance of the thread disjointed and very difficult for everyone to read.
There are on-line tools for most image storage sites which provide alternative links for reduced sized images - please use these prior to posting to reduce work in having to request users edit their posts. Thanks.

KATERGOO that quinoa salad looks like an upgrade from the previous version 
.
But people grabbing those salt and pepper "souvenirs" on the outbound flights is probably the reason why you won't see them (or any salt+pepper at all for that matter) in my post #1506 on an inbound flight...

... however, I agree, this is no excuse.

I don't believe that they would re-use those salt&pepper shakers on the return flight. From a hygiene standpoint I don't believe they would do that. Rather I suspect that they are only catered from ATH or other outstations that have full fledged Aegean catering. Other outstations probably aren't able?
Last time I flew Aegean from AMS (June) the tray came with cutlery branded "Sola Netherlands" and was obviously not catered by A3 in Athens.

The food itself is definitely loaded at the outstation (at least in my experience, this was also confirmed to me when I asked once by the cabin crew). However cutlery, branding and the rest of the "hardware" (napkins, table cloth and I'd bet the drinks etc.) has always been Aegean's own (can't speak for AMS though). So it's a bit of a gray area

I don't think the crew would do this. If you pay 600 euros your one way business class flight, you can take away the salt and peeper shakers ... which are probably worth 2 euros.

ATH departure this afternoon. Beef was good, dessert was awesome. Though for a 3hr flight I’d have liked them to serve the courses separate.
Also.. no porcelain shakers departing Athens. So I don’t think it’s because people take these on a specific flight impacting the return pax, but rather Aegean is running out of these in general

I wanted to include this info in my last post, but because back then I hadn't taken any pictures, I became somewhat uncertain about it. However I too believe, that during our previous flight ex-ATH mid-April we also had no porcelain shakers . I'd probably remember it if we had gotten them. Let's see if they're there tomorrow ...

Food was totally underwhelming too, probably the worst I've ever had on an Aegean flight counting both options.
I basically just ate the yoghurt and some of the fruit slices. 
The omelet felt more like a "saganaki" piece (grilled cheese) under all that tomato sauce.
The tart had way too much "green stuff" for my liking, or at least their flavour was predominant. Couldn't eat more than 2 bites.
You can also clearly see on the top left corner our "salt&pepper shakers". Nobody on the flight got the real deal.
Lol... That was of course (not even) the least of our issues, but that's a different story and has nothing to do with the catering.
