Lufthansa Airline Food - Frankfurt to Toronto

As you are reading this, I am on a plane to Sydney. I'm finally going to see my hunny after 7 long months. Because of this, I figure a post about an airplane meal would be fitting.

I have a large collection of airplane food photos. CK and I started taking pictures of such meals when we discovered airlinemeals.net, a website dedicated to airline food. We used to travel together quite a bit, and had planned to post all of our airline meals onto this site. Of course, we got lazy and never did.

Last Spring, I got to fly business class on a Lufthansa flight. My flight from Germany included a dinner followed by a breakfast.

As a starter snack, I got a bag of dry roasted macadamia nuts. This was the first time in a long time I have seen nuts served on a flight.

For my dinner, I had an appetizer of smoked salmon carpaccio, mixed greens salad, and an assortment of cheeses. I also got a cool pretzel bun on the side.

The smoked salmon carpaccio was very nice. It was garnished with an olive, fresh dill, cracked black pepper, and a slice of grapefruit.

The cheeses included herb roulé, havarti jalapeño, and cheddar cheese. On the side were veggies and a piece of dried fruit.

My entree was the duo of shrimp and sea cod accompanied by wild & white rice with chopped green onion, and broccoli. I was disappointed with this dish but I should have known better than to order fish on a flight. I was curious to see what the fish would be like on a business class flight, and it turned out to be dry and chewy. The rice was also a little sad. It was basically white rice with a few specs of wild rice. The shrimp, however, was ok.

I definitely should have ordered the beef tenderloin or agnolotti pasta instead.

They offered a crème brûlée for dessert, but I passed and asked for a platter of fresh fruit instead. The fresh fruit also included some biscotti.

Breakfast was German style: cold meats and cheese. The meats were turkey breast and salami, and the cheeses were emmental, port salut, and cream cheese. On the side were fresh fruit and a bun.
