Any recent experiences on Air France business out of JFK, now that KSML was restored? What are they serving?

Any recent experiences on British Business out of LHR, now that they restored full meal service? Still Hermolis?

Any experiences with AF meals in J since the restore?

Airline: Delta
Class: Business
Route: JFK>MIA
Caterer: Regal
Hechsher:
Flight date: November 2022
Meal in pics: Breakfast

I dont know about y'all, but I love these meals....
SO happy they changed from the in-edible rubber "omelet" to this....I can actually eat this.
Although the fruit wasnt so good and the pastry was frozen...BUT in general, if/when I get a main and its still cold or frozen, the FA know and I just send it back.....never had an issue with FA making a fuss over it, even when in economy because they know its not done properly..IMO

Looks like Caterer: Hamasbia, hechsher is Badatz
Dan Lounge (the regular, not the special one in E) has wine on the far left with the drinks. Also whiskey and vodka at the reception desk
Agree, the soup is probably the best thing

Why on earth would it be Panama? (I know symbol looks similar, it just doesn’t make sense geographically)
