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.

Peru is well known for their cuisine, personally I love the ceviche too...though I am not sure if I have tried it before with octopus.
One thing I am still trying to replicate from there is the pisco sour drink. I have come as far as using (non flavoured) tsipouro and grappa as alternatives to the (impossible to find) pisco and it is pretty close..but not quite there yet

I flew ZRH-ATH yesterday in business 
They actually served the meal in 3 courses, rather than two.
First; salad with chicken, cheese and pomegranate:
[...]
Second; veal with kastana mash (chestnut puree) and mushrooms. The other option was leg of chicken on spicy rice - I don't think anybody out of the 5 pax chose this.
[...]
Third; sweets with a cappuccino and mastiha liqueur:
[...]
All very tasty

The difference was that they served the salad together with the main (same tray). I actually had the chicken option instead of the veal- very tasty.

I did replicate pisco sour with Cretan Tsikoudia with relatively good results. Grappa isn't good for that purpose as it is often made out of more "aromatic" grapes; moreover one can't get mainland tsipouro in Crete.
I had octopus ceviche in Panama City last May. Not bad, but I prefer ceviche with fish.

I think I've seen enough of those crackers already, and I haven't flown with them yet! They look a bit cheap to me.

I don't normally eat octopus -I find it a bit tasteless and rubbery but I had the octopus starter a couple of days ago and it really was excellent. I'd recommend people to at least try it before judging although I agree there should be a choice.

Agree, their octopus is AMAZING, really loved it and pray to get it on all my A3 C flights!

I don't know the exact time when they switch and neither whether this is true for all A3 flights, but on the FCO-ATH flight that leaves at 11 am you always get lunch.

Same for MXP-ATH which leaves at 10:50. Boarding, take-off and reaching cruising altitude takes quite a while, so by the time they serve the meal it's midday (for the flights that are scheduled ~11 am).
