LH F - is this normal for service?
Flew LH in F last night HKG-MUC. Was impressed on the whole, but just wanted to check a couple of things...
1) No wine list was offered with dinner and the crew weren't exactly trying to foist wine on people, so the 7-8 bottles sat pretty much untouched on the shelf at the front. There was one glass taken from a white and the FA encouraged me to try the dessert wine (I was the only taker there).
2) The breads with breakfast were horrific. I assume this was something to do with the local baker they use in HKG rather than the normal standard.

2) I have the same problem with PEK.

Or perhaps it is just because I lack of taste

I looked at a photo of the C meal on HKG-MUC at the weekend and remembered the selection of bread for the evening meal wasn't too bad.
Perhaps my expectation is not as high as the OP's.

That's why you get more space in F, so they can serve garlic bread!
