Fusilli pasta and corn salad, hot main of pumpkin and pine kernel sauce penne pasta (other option was beef casserole), Paris-Brest dessert.
Drink: Sparkling water and red wine out of a selection of soft drinks/juices/wines.
Comments: Not a bad meal although CX made an odd choice in offering a pasta salad followed by a pasta main hot dish. The dessert was very good. Pity that due to cost cuts the economy class menu cards have abruptly disappeared (as well as the third hot main choice!).
