Child's meal in business class, any experiences?
Hi all,
We're flying with A3 next week and I'm starting to think about pre-ordering meals which got me wondering whether I should choose one of the normal options or book a child's meal for our 5 year old. She is slightly fussy but not overly so and I'm sure we can make the adult meals work somehow but I was wondering whether any of you have recent experience with the children's meals in J class. The problem is that she doesn't like anything breaded like chicken nuggets or fish fingers so children's meals often don't work for her. I found some info on the catering thread but the latest pic I found was from 2018. If anyone has any insights as to what they are currently serving, I'd be really grateful.
Thanks in advance!

Late June (2023) as I described here... (unfortunately I didn't take a picture of that particular meal)
My kids were at the time just over 2 years old, but I'm confident this will also work for your 5yo. Of course, if you hit "breakfast" it might be a very different meal.
PS. Back on board: I had also pre-ordered one children's menu, which consisted of a cold platter with slices of ham or turkey and a hot dish of some pasta (like very small ring-shaped) with minced meat. The kids certainly enjoyed that one and it too went great with the graviera. But no kid's juice, like Amita or such was served.

That sounds good. Yes, pasta would work. I'll check the adult meal options and decide based on those I think. Interestingly, the same meal choices are offered on FRA-SKG and SKG-LCA so we could try our way through the whole menu. 
On the way back, we do indeed have a breakfast flight from ATH to FRA so that makes me think too. If I remember rightly, one of the adult meal options was pancakes of some type, which she would love. Thanks for your insight. It's made the decision making process much clearer.

Nice! Apart from the dessert and the cookie (dessert was also the same!), this is pretty much exactly what was served to us too . Told you it'd be a hit , you were also lucky your flight was by just 11 minutes a "lunch" and not a "breakfast" flight

And just to round this thread off, here are the childrens meals on LCA-ATH (dinner) and ATH-FRA (breakfast):
Very impressed overall. Even with the breakfast.
Thanks again for all the advice.
