I hope AF will revamp the catering.
As airchristophe said, chicken is not a luxury dish.
Lobster, king prawn, crab, caviar would match first class meals.
To me when I fly F I would like to taste foods that I don't taste or eat everyday.

And AF F is not a luxury product.
Well don't fly AF F then. Seriously, any airline that has an F product nowadays has to make it pretty special, as there are some good business class products out there. AF F food is basically the same as AF C, and that is pretty poor for a start.

Ive enjoyed reading through this thread. Three questions:
Is there a breakfast service on the short service flights from the East Coast to CDG (BOS and JFK to CDG)?
Is there a second service from CDG to CAI? Seems quite short for one, but was wondering if they offer light sandwiches or pastries of some sort.
Do DXB-CDG flights offer a second service? Either breakfast or a second hot meal for the daylight flight?

Hello,
I can answer your first question, yes ther eis a breakfast service on flights from the East Cost ... it's just a continental with choices of breakfast pastries, tea, coffee etc ... after a short flight you'll still be full from dinner ! I usually just eat the fruit, have some coffee and orange juice.

Is the service similar to TNR for other African routes like ABJ, DKR, and LBV? One main meal followed by a very light meal.
On two recent C class flights, the L'Espace bar had drinks and fruit. When do the ice cream and sandwiches make it out?
