Just try those they serve nowadays in Y. :D

Those are too simple to mess up. Just take two slices of bread and a slice of cheese and that's that. After all. Zuivel op zuivel is het werk van de duivel.

Wonderful Wanders News!
 
The Wonderful Wanders Salads now come in the original Wonderful Wanders Box again.

Had a conversation with the purser about KL's shorthaul catering. We quickly agreed that all these salads were getting very long in the tooth, and that more variety would be greatly appreciated, but won't happen anytime soon.

Let's just say that it was a good thing that I had a proper and tasty lunch in the Privium lounge!

Anyone know if KLM has resumed serving special meals in J?

Cava or Prosecco

That looks quite cheap and nasty :( On my way back from Stockholm to Amsterdam last week they had Cordoniu on board, maybe it has finished ... (not entirely my fault!)

since the 25th November 2020, not in Europe of course.

I also noted the Processo instead of the Cava end of August

Why, is it good? I don't drink that stuff anyway, I am not a champagne or fizzy wine person.

CyBeR Sep 4, 2021 7:58 pm

No, Prosecco is a huge downgrade from Cava which is a huge downgrade from Champagne.

Same here.

I've always found the idea that imbibing champagne at any time of day or night is an essential and emblematic part of the in-flight experience in F & J a bit puzzling and rather amusing too.

KL just can’t get anything catering-wise right, can they?
even the names of the suppliers is a joke 😂😂

Well, here's a really cool and fabulous new enhancement:

https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...14941424bb.jpg
A Refreshment Towel!

Got one on a flight a few days ago. The towel of course comes cold, but look at that cute wrapper! Windmills, tulips, huisjes, wooden clogs, bikes traveling in opposite directions and even a couple in kleederdracht kissing! Especially the latter is a bold and daring choice. Not only are they obviously male and female, but they have been sexualized too. Any number of people may take exception and accuse KLM of a host of awful crimes such as sexism, cultural appropriation, gender insensitivity, and you name it.

Ah, here they are! :-) I noticed them in the lounge (near the cutlery and condiments at the buffet "check out") for the last couple months and was wondering why they are there, but never on board.

It is the exact AF thing, with a KLM branded packaging. AF is handing them out to J class (short and long haul) for a long time. I like them :-)

Got one today morning along with the wonderful Wanders Box and was wondering how those towels found their way onboard the aircraft.
