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.

Flew ATH-AMS in business. Very full flight, two rows of C class filled as well.
Wines are the same as posted last week.
Appetizer: Sesame-coated feta, with smoked beef on lettuce (andive?) with lentils and chickpeas. Personally I'd have liked to see something sweet on the cheese (like this with honey), but still tasty. Have had this appetizer before on A3 though - seems to be a popular/common one.
Mains: Either Chicken ragout, mushrooms, cheese on orzo, or, salmon on horta with carrots and potatoes. As I already had the not-so-healthy option on the flight out, decided to go for the salmon this time.
Not very flashy; yet still tasty if you like simple flavours. And a lot healthier than the cream-like sauce on the chicken dish.
Sweets. Person next to me had ordered some kind of special meal and indeed got the choice between regular dessert or a fruit plate. There was no cappuccino in this flight; only a (very mediocre) filter coffee.

Had a great flight AMS-ATH today. Currently being bored with a 4hr coach trip so let me post an update to this thread ;-)
One of the best mains on A3, and that chocolade cake..mjam mjam.
Chicken and grilled cheese starter:
Chicken thighs with roasted potatoes and mustard sauce. Chicken not dry, yet nicely browned with awesome flavor
Dessert was good too, lovely kanella pastry (similar to cinnamon roll) and a large piece of chocolate cake called Μωσαϊκο — which I can only compare to a massive Twix bar ;-)

Flew ATH-DUS today.
Mains was grilled chicken or red fish. Crew was a bit mediocre - not serving the courses separately, and leaving the plastic wrap on some dishes. The chicken was tasty, though very very greasy. The potatoes were swimming in half cm oil - so those I skipped.
Are people on here still interested in these food pics, as lately this thread has not been very active?

First picture is FRA-HER in Y, morning flight. This was OK but I would have loved a fruit cup.
Second picture was ATH-FRA in C, early morning flight. A fairly good breakfast by plane food standards.

Yes it was warm. I found breakfast usually poor on airplane and this one was above average. Note that I have not tasted LX one yet but will do so in a couple of months.

I'd agree that breakfast on Aegean is not great, but then again..most airlines are not great with breakfast. Its a difficult thing to do good or better than the others - as the possible variations are quite limited.
Slightly OT; As Swiss was mentioned, this is what they offer on the ZRH-ATH route in business for breakfast. No choice, only one option - in this case eggs benedict. Though in reality it was a mayo-covered poached egg (the hollandaise had split and was not great):
Another time, same dish - slightly better execution (on the B777 instead of A320)
On shorter flights (AMS-ZRH at ~90 min) they offer something that is substantially worse than Aegean offers on flights with similar length (in my opinion) - just cereals and something that resembles a croissant in business:
