Granted, I've never flown international F, so to me the meals look pretty damn good, considering the grub you get these days. But if I had paid that airfare, I would expect food to match.

But that UA picture is a Y class meal, not F.

My AF pic however is F.

Excellent report. How sad of AF. The F service on AF is also not very great.

My experience of AF F is not good. I travelled in AF F many times with my mate Paul Tucker, when we were touring the globe selling out 80,000 seater stadiums as the Lighthouse Family. I remember the food being very poor. Anyway, here is a picture of me and my mate, Paul Tucker, waiting to get into the AF F lounge in CDG. I think whoever's job it was to open the lounge that day slept in.

Sorry to hear about your experiences waiting for the AF lounge to open, Tunde.

I had a lovely curried beef curtains dish when I flew LH in February from FRA to ORD. I find LH food to be very nice on the whole. Much better than most other European carriers anyway.

I wish I had that rather than the well-done lamb.

Beef curtains?!

:eek::eek:

Something was surely lost in translation... or my knowledge of beef is simply insufficient.

You've never had beef curtains? Served with carpet peas it's a real treat!

Congrats on the great pics!!

What is your favourite airline in F? Thanks.

It's not only the meat and tomato on AF that looks awful. It's the plain green lettuce. Their meals on Y last summer on long haul were good. I wonder if they cut also in Y.
