Meal one on NH Y NRT-IAH.  The pasta salad was rough, but the rest was edible. Pete Unger Catering out of Australia.



Meal two which was underwhelming, but edible.

Why is it that (in my experience) most business class meals to Israel through Europe have Fish as the main?

Is there any way to request chicken or beef?

What if I am allergic to fish?

I don't know that your statement is true, but it might be in order not to get into which Shechita different people find acceptable.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Does anyone know if there will be any Kosher option on a Delta One flight from LAX-JFK that leaves LAX at 11 PM? According to my itinerary, the meal service is "snack" but at least online it let me put in a request for a Kosher meal. Thanks!
