Meal type: Lunch
Contents of the meal: Seafood Lasagna, Bread bun, Cucumber, ham and apple salad, Toblerome chocolate and Movenpick ice-cream.
Drinks: Fruit juices and coffee
Comments: I did not get a choice as by the time the meal cart reached me, only the Lasagna was left. Never a great fan of tomatoes, it was nonetheless tasty and I was surprised at the generous amount of seafood filling. The salad was great and the ice-cream was a surprise since there was no menu given, I have no idea it was to be served.
