Sadly, I also liked the apple! At least the chocolate wrapper is apple colored?

I travelled on 5 August and the apple was not spohred away but put as part of the breakfast into the metal basket they serve these days. Chocolates were handed out at the end of the flight.

The apple was very basic but quite tasty - and better than an unpeeled orange (Ethiopian)

MAN - MUC

The Purser assured me is was Beef, i think a DNA test might have proved otherwise :td: I left it, Chocolate Mouse was ok but how could they ruin that ? :D

Today on BLL-FRA:

It was edible, I did not like the meat that much, preferred the salad part. I am, however, not quite sure what it actually was. Note the lack of Tasting Heimat branding.

For FRA-BSL, no report as LH decided to leave me in FRA and put me on the next flight 5 hours later. Considering by then I would have missed most of the family party I ended up taking the train instead, where no Taste of Heimat was offered (un)fortunately. ;)

First get rid of the city, then of the Taste of Heimat branding completely?

Hmm. Wonder if they will actually make a thing of the change or just let it happen quietly. Still low-key mad about removal of the apples.

Yes, same with mine, could be something you see at the Races with Jockeys :D

Purser told me Heimat is gone these are the new upgraded Menus …… no more Apples, replaced by a very small Chocolate….

Sadly outside this circle (i.e. FT) no one could care less, reason why they get away with such poor show (and I genuinely doubt it will get any better). It is nonetheless heartening to notice that OS can still (somewhat) get it right(ish) whereas I recently flew LX (usual starting point and destination via their hub) and was very disappointed to put it mildly (my “LX data-point” is scarcely adequate, though, as I mostly fly LO and OS/LH in the winter months). As for the apple, I am usually able to maintain my childhood habit to fruit-up throughout the day hence certainly not relying on an airline (especially LH) to contribute towards my intake.

Actually, having listened to all the complaints i have overheard about Heimat, that is not the case & often from pax who paid to upgrade :D
Against FT rules to repeat some of them here 😉

But your absolutely spot on about reliability ;)

They did make a reasonably big deal about introducing Heimat, and it was, at the time, a step up. I was hoping that we'll see the same, make a hulabaloo about how they are constantly improving and let's get (hopefully) to back where we started. But, it looks like they are just happy to continue the march downwards for now.

Which, TBF, looking at what AFKL offers... they still have a good bit of breathing space.

This new menu doesn't look too bad. Like a slight upgrade of the Heimat menu.

Another leckerschmecker! LH could enhance their TikTok content with a how to on serving up a meal for less than a €1…just like they do in Business Class… “Cooking with Carsten”. One of those pocket handkerchief blazer types would be useful for once and chop the veg. It would be very sustainable too, the top concern of the C-suite.

I would expect quite a few hairs in a Chocolate Mouse...😉

As posted in May, the new menu will show up in late October. Maybe they are trying to get rid of the remaining 'Rinderbraten' (cold beef roast) stock before then.
