Options were 'the chicken' or the vegetarian - Thai red curry, so I went with the curry. (spork extra - rather than the wooden cutlery). The curry was 'mild to hot' - although with no long lasting hotness.
Food served 2 hours in (I was in row 39) - with the trays 'removed' 15 minutes after being served (I had to extract the mouse and cheese before these were removed). No wine offered.
Just for comparison - this was JAL offerings in Y on the JL10 HND-ORD flight a few days earlier ('butter scented chicken'). Reasonably comparable in quantity/quality. (It did have steel cutlery/chop sticks).

I just flew IAD-MUC-IAD last week on LH and everything was markedly better - real, reusable crockery (the IAD-MUC meals were actually on china, but it looked like everyone was served a Y+ meal), metal utensils, bread rolls that were warmed up, and real coffee cups (even during the pre-arrival service).
