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.

No pictures, but 2 very different experiences recently on Y flights:
1) The good: VIE - ATH
Got a neat cardboard box with a plastic lid covered black box in it, some pieces of meat, a delicious sauce, veggies and pasta. Plus the normal bread etc. Very good.
2) The bad: ATH - GVA
The normal aluminum bins, with about 7 penne inside and a spoonful of Sauce Bolognaise. Pasta was WAY overcooked, and all had a disgusting metal taste. Inedible.
And on top, they didn't have the child meals of my kids on their list (amazing, since on the inbound flight, they were served the kids meals...)

No pics - sorry but does anyone know how often menus rotate?
I've been offered the same choices in business LHR-ATH and return on every flight since August and I've getting bored! In particular I detest octapus which has turned up as the starter on LHR-ATH on every flight.

I'll take along a plastic bag, pack it up and post it to you! :-) I don't know what it is, there's not much I dislike but I'd rather chew a rubber even if it hadn't been braised in red wine - waste of red wine IMO!

LHR-ATH last Friday Night: Octopus and fava, hünkar beğendi (veal in red sauce and mashed aubergines), pistachio baklava. More Turkish than Greek! Delicious Although I think it lacks in quantity +- presentation compared to the oldschool menus

20.11.18 A3-609 LHR-ATH Economy meal
Probably the worst meal I've had on this route. The chicken and potatoes were swimming in a greasy juice. That said, much better than the competition!
21.11.18 A3-990 ATH-IST Economy breakfast
The cheese pastry thingy (I'm sure there's a name for it!)

To be honest, as a half Greek I actually like the chicken with potatoes I had a week ago as they taste like the traditional oven potatoes with chicken with olive oil and lemon juice (patates sto fourno me kotopoulo). The Aegean cheese pie (tiropita) however is disappointing... Even the Aegean lounge (B gates) has better tiropita so I usually eat tons of them before boarding.

There are at least one hundred ways of putting together (and baking/frying) a tyropita and I love 10% of them. I don't mind 80% (including all kinds served by A3 on board and in the lounge) and I absolutely hate the remaining 10%. The latter category includes the ones consisting of 99.99% puff pastry (sfogliata) made with undefined fat and the cheapest of flours as well as one molecule of undefined cheese. They are served at a lot of very cheapo places and you really need a very expert eye to avoid them...
