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.

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!



Does look a bit lame . Some things dont work well above 35,000ft

Interesting choices. That dessert looks quite minimalistic indeed, especially compared to the desserts that they used to serve before last year.

As far as I'm concerned, this is another data point that the quality is not as good as it used to be. The 'top chefs' thing was just marketing.

Btw, it is semolina halva, which is different than the 'conventional' one. I still miss the old trio of desserts

Yes, it is semolina halva (symigdalenios or spitikos), one of the two kinds of halva made and eaten in Greece. The "other" one, and cerrtainly not conventional one by Greek standards is called tahinenios or nistissimos or, often, makedonikos. While the former is very often served as a desrt, both at home and in non-fancy restaurants, the latter is usually eaten in rather small amounts during the fasting periods (pre-Easter, pre-15 August and pre-X'mas). Actually it is so sweet that some people put a few drops of pressed lemon on it or even eat it sanwiched in bread. By the way, I also miss the old trio.

I'll vote for the old trio too though some of the newer ones are good, I had great orange cake a few weeks back.

The salad above looks more like the old starters too - I love those big plates of salad.

As soon as I hit 'submit', I thought maybe it's not really conventional (which has always been my impression), and someone is going to correct me on this!

Yes, that is how semolina halva is. It is different than the one you are used to.

Some good things never change on A3: their melomakarona are still the juciest ones around! I wish it were X'mas throughout the year just for that.

The Santorini fava had a very pale colour! Was it good? By the way, how was the octopus I saw lying on it?

KLouis Despite the colour the fava was really tasty and felt as I was eating something homemade. The octapus was great as well. The subject choice of meal is highly recommended!
