I think the current F menu ex-US July-August is identical to the 2012 menu. In fact I remember having all three: beef, cod, duck. Nothing special.
LH now served chilled Smirnoff with the caviar. As much as I enjoy chilled vodka I would not touch Smirnoff.
The quality of champagne has gone down as well. Haven't seen Dom in a while.

LH474
Hello Flyertalk!
I'll be flying F on LH474 MUC - YUL in October and I was wondering what order the meal service will follow. Most of the menus I've seen ex Germany show the big meal first, followed by a smaller service close to landing, but where this flight departs soon after lunch at 15:35 that would seem off to me. Just wondering if I should have a big breakfast and maybe skip lunching in the lounge?
Thanks for your advice!

So you can enjoy a lunch in the FCL before the flight, relax and ask for your main meal later.
Here's a recent thread.

Yes, a very tortured experience! Especially when the FA expertly topped the delicious escargot soup with a dry Reisling http://www.flickr.com/photos/6936253...7627902727611/
I doubt there is any other airline that serves the above and tasty tenderloin of rabbit. Exquisite. Served in courses or all at once, your choice. Fabulous.

Moving over ... to LH
I was blown away by the delicious meals and drinks that were served on LH760 from FRA to DEL yesterday. The service was also exquisite. It helps if you have the ENTIRE 747-8 upper deck to yourself and a travel companion.

Best J cuisine of 2013
During this year, I've had the opportunity to dine on business class meals aboard Lufthansa, Asiana, Singapore (both book the cook and regular menu), Air Canada, United, and Virgin Australia.
Lufthansa's meals were the best of all these dining experiences, as was the meal service itself. Singapore and Asiana had better wines, champagne, and liquor. But Lufthansa's food was fresher, tastier, and seemed to have higher quality ingredients.
Perhaps everyone on this board knows how well off they are, but for those who complain about LH meals all I can say is that the tray tables on all the rest of my *A flights this year have been mostly much less appetizing.

I find the LH C menus to be thought-out and quite tasty--at the very least on-par with other major global competitors. I wonder sometimes how much personal taste preferences affect the evaluations of one airline versus another, since I find airlines from different parts of the world design menus differently.
My experience is that when I do have a poor on-board meal, the problem is linked more to service failure (e.g. poor preparation/assembly/presentation either by catering or the crew) than food quality or menu design.
