The short haul J sandwich

Maybe I've missed a post about it, and maybe it's already there for a while and only served at certain hours. But I had a huge and very tasty club sandwich next to the usual salad box. ^

Presumably the same one they serve for lunch on short flights like to CPH. There is usually a choice of two, in which case I would recommend the one with Old Amsterdam cheese. If the forget to load enough dinners, you may also be offered a sandwich for dinner.

I was offered both of these sandwiches on an early afternoon flight. I had the club which tasted good and was very filling. I will try the cheese on the way back if I get the choice. Well done KLM ^

On Cityhopper flights I believe the sandwich is given to the whole plane (that has been my experience at least).

Is that new? My C trips on cityhopper date a bit now but definitely got the cold tray in all of mine (typically the very same club sandwich or Old Amsterdam cheese sandwich choice mentioned above. A bit of variety wouldn't be bad here) including to LHR on a similar 'aircraft change' case and NCE which is much longer. Certainly never received the Y sandwiches in C before although some people have queried the service on super-short flights such as DUS.

That's definitely not a mainline EB sandwich, which begs the question why KLC can't serve those. Not having a hot galley is obiviously not a good enough excuse.

Last trip I did (SVG-AMS, AMS-LBA) I had the same sandwich choices offered on both legs. I'm pretty sure SVG-AMS is mainline, AMS-LBA is cityhopper.

The veggie club one is huge, tho they ran out of those on the second flight by the time they got to me.

It's a few months ago since I last had one of those sandwiches, but I have never seen them wrapped in plastic before.

On a lunchtime KLC flight today, the choice was veal or cheese. That's to say, the first five pax got a choice, the sixth and I got cheese. Nut and raisin flute with mature Beemster cheese, according to the menu. Came with a mixed salad with yellow tomatoes (I counted one. So much for the plural) and a miniscule "raspberry quark" dessert. The sandwiches were not wrapped in plastic.

Does it mean you ended up being upgraded after all (in which case, ^^^) or was that an entirely different flight from the one you were mentioning in the other thread? Hope the former and if so hope you enjoyed!

No huge sandwich in J on AMS-CDG this time. Yeah I anticipated it (had no time at the airport). There seems to be some inconstancy?
