LX had steak tartare on the menu in their F lounge in ZRH when I flew them to LAX a couple of years ago. Not a frequent LX flyer so not sure if it’s still on the menu now though.

If a pork hedgehog is haram (not permitted) what about a hedgehog pig? (I'm not sure what the word for hedgehog meat is and I'm not sure I want to know.)

+1 HeinzSchmolke While your ideas might come off as insane to many, I'm extremely impressed by your envelop pushing; take this as a compliment because I've been on FT for 19 years now, and very few things intrigue me. Assuming you actually proceed with your plans, please make high quality videos/photos that don't include anything related to pork; Visit Abu Dhabi is in dire need of fresh marketing fodder (e.g. the camel thing doesn't really work these days), and I love the "Waldo costumes at famous sites" concept! I will send you a private message to discuss more.
It’s seems that it’s part of my genes to think solution-oriented (how to get the problem solved at least as close as possible) instead of granting the problems (what‘s not allowed, what might be difficult, ...) to waste too much of my time and definitely not capitulate as soon as the first barrier seems to be unbreachable. There is always a creative way how to work around.
I will definitely make some pics as we need to send them to the ones back in Cologne to show that we are celebrating with them.

I have a question, is this your first time in first class? I just wonder about your expectations
closest thing I can think of to the raw pork thing that would be halal is something like steak tartare but I can’t imagine that being served on a plane or in a lounge either. Perhaps someone can help with a decent French restaurant at one of your layover points? I assume they would be able to shape it roughly into a hog shape
