Also are the "Delft Blue miniature houses, filled with Dutch gin" kosher ?
It's Bols Genever gin.

It's on the KLBD kosher list:

B6 jfk-sea May 1














Flew round trip this summer and the JFK-SEA leg was what you had which was for the most part really good, the way back was a cold-style meal and was nasty, just a heads up

KLM flights from Europe serve KSMLs under Rabbi Ralbag (Who also runs the Triangle K).
Is this still the case?

It's possible some confuse Badatz Amsterdam (Rav Wolff) with Rabbanut Holland/Netherlands (formerly R Ralbag)
