I am kind of a nitpick, always looking for room for improvement. And I liked these two meals aswell.

Another one for Finnair's "simple but tasty". MXP-HEL in July. The usual fish puree starter on the left and blueberry pie dessert on top left, but the main dish of meatball and spaghetti was extremely tasty. Would eat again/10.

ZRH-HEL on July 27. Flight attendants simply described it as "pork". With potatoes and beans and a slice of beef appetizer. But it tasted good, and the texture was just right as well. So far this year, Finnair gets a clear thumbs up from me for their European J catering. I won't eat much in the lounge before and evening flight, and will not be hungry once I land at the destination late evening.

Exact this was available on AY 1124 on Thurs, but you have a second choice for the main, chicken with vegetables - both a vary good. Better then most of the offerings in the last years when flying out of TXL. That I had the choice of two mains was really good. Wifi on the narrow body was a nice surprise. Also food on the LH was better then on my last flights.

I'm wondering where I can find what is served on flights. I don't mean the menu, but whether a meal is served, for example, or only a snack. I'm thinking of AY1201 HEL-LJU, which leaves at 16:50, and AY1434 TXL-HEL, which leaves at 13:15. Both in J, if that matters.

On both flights you will get a warm full meal. I don t know if they will give you a choice buts thats something which is more and ore common on flights like this.

This was on AY1224 - slow cooked beef with mesh and vegies. The salmon was Sashimi style on Wasabi Potato salad. Second choice was chicken. Is it normal these days that you have the choice of two mains on european flights?
