This.

But FWIW, I don't think I've heard too many others with the same opinion. I believe the vast majority of people would consider them way higher than a 2...

Lol, this is from before the change. Haven't flown LH since, but will next week.
I flew it 2 weeks ago and was the worst airline food I've ever seen. (Flew J)

Well, that's under the new Kashrus. So there we have it, an absolute endorsement of the Kashrus!!!
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

I thought the KSML was quite good (for a KSML) although I got a little bored of having the same meal in FCT and on the plane.

Well, that doesn't sound as bad as SU serving the same (meat) KSML 3 times.

From what I've heard most opinions align more with this
Totally disagree. I would rate them an easy 6-8, depending on the particular meal.
and this

Not more than than a 2.

In what KSML world is it a 2? Maybe on restaurant scale.

Definitely at least 5 if not 6 or 7 on the KSML acale. At least in F.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

I've moved discussion of the ZOW MethodTM to the KSML thread, please continue there.

Continue the topic of LH/Sohar here.


In other news, has nobody gotten this reference ;D?

To be perfectly honest, I haven't eaten the main course in the past few years due to the Kashrus concerns. Talking from my experience prior to that, and from the looks of it.
But I guess you are correct with regards to comparing it to other KSML's.

Is out of Munich the same meals or are they ok?
I often get Stogel out of Munich - and if Sohar, they are normally pre-frozen so not as good as from Frankfurt.

I just spoke to a large kashrus agency. They were aware of the fact that the old hechsher was removed, but they had no opinion on the current one. They are looking into it and will give me an answer tomorrow.

Had some trouble getting through, but just got my very firm answer: BYOK.

Thanks for the update.

Wouldn't you BYOK even if you were told it's acceptable/reliable? After all that is @Dan's standing advice even in cases where KSML is known to be of high standards (from both Kashrus and quality standpoint)?

Of course. But it's always nice when you get a pretty good KSML as well.
