I don’t ever expect airplane food to be good so Lufthansa gave me what I expected. I chose the pasta (with canned mushrooms) which was terribly over-cooked. The bread was cold from sitting in the fridge, the cheese was bland, but the fruit was pretty good. The brownie was also edible, not too sweet.


The veggies looked so sad and they were served with dressing as if to say, this is a salad. Not!
Lon had the chicken which was covered in an overly sweet fruit sauce, but the corn was fine.


I really don’t expect the food to be good but my main complaint is that the meal is served at a time that doesn’t make sense for either time zone, roughly midnight New York time and 6 am Frankfurt time. Closer to the end of the flight, a snack is served, which I appreciated for the fruit. The bread was ok and I didn’t eat the rest.

With nothing to do but eat during our 3 hour lay-over in Frankfurt, we started with a café au lait and pretzel with cheese and bacon. When we were in Germany 2 years ago, the pretzels were amazing. This one did not live up to our memory and wasn’t heated enough. The café au lait only just satisfied.

We moved on to frankfurters, which had an amazing audible snap when you took a bite. The bread was an embarrassment to the sausages that put US versions to shame.

The Bombay sandwich was slightly too wet bit a nice light flavor combination of chicken and curry mango dressing.

We’re ready for the real food!
