Can anyone comment on KSML from Sao Paulo, Brazil (GRU). Specifically American Airlines in Business Class?

Any experiences at all on meals out of São Paulo, Brazil (GRU) - for any airline / class? Hasgacha? Quality? Meat/Dairy?

Thank you!

I flew once GRU - FRA with LH, I don't remember the name of the Hechsher, but it was by a Known Rabbi of Brazil & it was tasty food.

EgyptAir seems to have no KSML option!

I tried their Twitter service and they just directed me to the following link:

Ty! And I'm assuming KSML is regular borenstein garbage?

was indeed. Dinner was a chicken that I'd eat if I were very hungry. Breakfast was offered either French toast or omelette. Took French toast, inedible.

I am on a EWR-LAX flight right now. Similar meal. Wouldn't say restaurant quality for the meat, as it was a bit dry, probably because it was reheated more than once, but it is miles ahead of anything else I had so far (not a frequent flyer and definitely not usually in business). I never had Hermolis. Came with cute little salt and pepper shaker souvenirs.






I'm not sure how often the menu is changed, but just came off EWR-LAX with same meal and snack. Short ribs and rice was tasty but a bit cold. Rest of tray seemed straight out of fridge which is common occurance.

I always make sure the entree is hot to the touch before opening it, otherwise I send it back.

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.
