Longhaul menus are supposed to be visible in MMB, but it is often broken. At the time of publishing, this link works.

Finally tried the raindeer. I really liked it - wasn't overcooked, and tasted like a nice hearty homely meal, especially after current lounge experience in HEL.
Not smart enough to upload a pic though

Greetings from AY122.
It seems like it would be best to self-cater at Alepa if doing DT in DEL as it is an option.
During the FT visit to Finnair Kitchen we were informed that DEL-HEL catering had just changed back to DEL. For a period of time the DEL-HEL catering had been done out of HEL.
Out of my one-week trip to India the DEL-HEL Y-meal was the worst I have experienced.
The chicken tased like mud and I did not dare to eat anything after the first bite. The sweet pepper-water melon salad was frozen when served. How about temperature control of the food?
The purser did what he could, and I was served a left-over salmon dish from C. Taste was ok, though nothing special, at least I do not feel I will get sick of it....
I will definitely try to have a word with one of our hosts at Finnair Kitchen.

Finally had a time to push this forward so made a call to AY CS. As mentioned by couple of other above as well it was possible to pre-order a special meals for kids in J. They were offering e.g. burgers or pizzas. All in all, burgers selected for the kids so the meal part is now under control.

Here is the outcome; some berries to start with (not in the picture), then some starter (chicken and vegies) and the burger as a main course. I understood it served the purpose, but was obviously quite sizeable for a smaller kid. Ice cream and chocolate cake were the options for the desert.

Did anyone tried this yet? Taste is better? or marketing at the max?

Marketing.
I have, from the last occassion, two sets of headphones with pre-recorded audio to "enhance taste". Sure, it alters the food experience to listen to birch wood burn slowly while waterdrops drip and wind blows natural tones. But to say food tastes better is a stretch.
I can send you the mp3 and you can try at home

Standard PDB of water, blueberry juice or champagne. I was happy to get a refill on my champagne too
Tasty amuse buche of scallops and zucchini
The chicken confit was really tasty as was the ahi tuna
Petit Fours, ice cream and some very tasty Port
The cold breakfast was far more extensive than expected and hit the spot after the few hours of sleep I managed to get

I'm quite happy that Finnair has a good scotch (Glenfiddich)
The Pork Ballotine was good though I'm not sure what that weird Finnish roll I selected was.
I like that Finnair allows you to enjoy cheese plate AND dessert. A lot of airlines make you select just one
Halfway decent omelet. I do wish that a flight with a 5:15 PM arrival had a lunch/dinner type meal instead of breakfast.

I like that on each flight I had a different snack with my drink. These wasabi peas were excellent
Really good beef, in fact I didn't have a bad entree on AY
I went with the cold option this time and quite enjoyed it. Good job to AY on catering, these were my first flights with them and I was very impressed with the food.
