Yes. There were two sets of cutlery.

Mehadrin and Regal is the same thing (name depends on the departure point). Beef is beef.
Any insight into the mehadrin meal options in Business? I have no idea what the different options are. Is the Regal option Beef in J, or only the Strictly kosher beef? For the return there is a whole different list of options. @Dan

Wondering the same. Anyone know what's the difference between Elal's choices?
(I know what's fish and what's child meal, don't know whats the difference between Strictly kosher beef meal, Mehadrin meal, and Regal meal)



Sorry meant to quote this pic. Is there any difference between the strictly kosher beef meal and the other options?

The dish that held the main was broken, wasn't going to eat it anyway becuase it was chicken but still pretty sad. The chicken actually looked and smelled good. Emunah generaly alot better then east coast stuff.

I find Borenstein/Regal to be similar or maybe a bit better than Emuna, the few times I had Emuna. Glad to see Emuna using dishes now for premium cabins, I still remember getting served in foil pans when flying QF F from LAX.

I see I am not being clear with my question, so I will try again.

All meal options are labeled as Mehadrin. However on the list of options there is Strictly Kosher Beef and another option is Mehadrin/Regal. My question is, is there a diffrence between those two options? Is the Mehadrin also a beef meal, just more Mehadrin then the Strictly Kosher Beef option?

Mehadrin and Regal are the same AFAIK and it can be chicken, beef, fish, or dairy. The other options are the same kashrus but is specifically beef or fish.

Probably Regal/Borenstein?
Known exceptions are Emuna ex-LAX and Fresko ex-EWR.

From my experience, yes. Emuna is usually not terrible.

not everyone is as smart as you :)
They are expecting 5 star meals and then when they open it they are in for the surprise of their life!
