I am amazed that you can move your business trips from Feb to March just because you didn't like the meal onbaord ? Sounds like your original planned Feb trip was not that important after all ?

... I wish I had your problems ...

We are flying FRA-IAD the first week of February in F - would you mind making mention of the specific food offerings?
Thanks!

I believe it is Filet of Squirrel with a Lizard-Truffle-Raspberry reduction sauce.

I beg to differ - my wife flew home from Bangkok on Sunday and was quite pleased - told me about a nice starter - prawn with pomelosalad - only for me to find that they had a different menu going back from HKG a day later. However I was equally pleased with the selections available.
It is a meal in the air but it surely did beat both mains options the Western Cape Hotel & Spa Sheraton offered for their christmas menu....

Thumbs up

Just my two cts.:
I've been travelling to Japan recently, F and C return. The japanese food in both classes has been excellent. The wine selection fine. I have tried the Zweigelt and been much impressed by the fine quality. So everything went well. Flying back in C, the japanese platter with Sushi IMO has been even better than the F-product.
And then I had the nicest and friendliest crew of FAs ever. Same one to and from JP. ^^^

If it's the Japanese platter I had earlier this month consisting of:

Sushi featuring Shrimp, Sea Eel and rolled Perilla Seeds,
Omelette, Chicken Matsukaze and sweet green Peas



then all I can say is next time you are in Japan you should try a proper Sushi restaurant

I knew it was a mistake as soon as I answered yes when a friendly FA asked me if I wanted a Japanese meal. If you enjoy Japanese meals do so while you are in Japan

I flew in C last monday LAX-MUC and the quality of the meals at least in C was fine ^ even better than my last LH C flight in OCT 07.

However I find the way that it is served doesnt look very appearing anymore. My plate looked a little distressed to be diplomatic. The sauce jumped over the edge already and left a significant mess on the tablet.

It didnt bother me much as I was tired and glad that I sat in row 4 so the service was over fast and it was sleeping time

Luckily I can this time. ^
I just arranged the next (Feb) meeting to be held in Germany and so hope for March improvements.

The hope dies last.

I must say that the curried chick peas I found in C recently were a pleasant surprise (veg meal) - surprise that my meal boarded, and surprise that they were so tasty. ^ and here is hoping that both trends continue

Am I happy that I only have to decide between chicken or pasta in the back of the plane. The wine selction is also very easy. It is red or white.

I can't imagine any airline having better food in the air than their "restaurant" on the ground.
