anyone familiar with the hashgacha on Alitalia J meals out of Rome, currently?  Last time I flew, it was a French hashgacha I wasn't familiar with.
Yup they still have that Hashgocha of the Chief Rabbi of France. Its actually considered as a good Hechsher.

On LX you can request a kosher fish meal by calling up. I did it last your for my wife, in C. When I (meat-eater) got a cold cut snack, she got assortment of smoked and gefilte fish. When I got meat main dish she got salmon. All from Schalom catering in ZRH.

ORD I can tell you tomorrow. Will be on a flight soon. But one thing is for sure, you usually don't want to eat it.

Just FYI most of the times when a GPU clears, the KSML request falls off.
