Flight Duration: 7h45
Aircraft type & class: Boeing 767-200 Economy
Business or leisure trip: leisure
[055] * Dinner: Consisted of an appetizer (ham and pate), a choice of turkey or pork for the main meal (I chose the pork, which came with rotini noodles and mixed vegetables), a side salad with Italian dressing, two rolls with butter, and a small Twix bar for desert.
[056] * Breakfast: Consisted of a ham and cheese platter, a small peach yogurt, and the same sort of rolls as with dinner.
Drink: A choice of the usual alcoholic and non-alchoholic drinks; I chose Zywiec Polish beer.
Comments: LOT's food service has a LOT going for it. The meals are generally of good quality and sufficient quantity. The one glaring deficiency is the lack of sparkling wine in Economy class. I hope that now that LOT is a STAR Alliance member, this failing will be remedied, as sparkling wine is served on other STAR airlines, e.g. Austrian. Another problem is that LOT just serves too much pork! I mean, it's enough to drive you to Kosher meals even if you are not Jewish. Between the pork main course, the ham and pate appetizer, and the ham for breakfast, it would appear that a massive pig kill off had to happen just to cater this flight. Watch out LOT, the pigs are about to rise against you! I think that LOT should plan its meals with a more varied content in mind. These photos are from the outbound leg of my trip; I shall enclose the photos from the return leg soon.

Meal type: main evening dish
Contents of the meal: Two slices of meat with tomato and a slice of citrus, two prepacked rolls with butter, a smelly uneatable salad, a peace of chocolate.
Drink: Every beverages plus tea and coffee.
Comments: That was a real evening dish! The meat was tasty, the service was excellent, the pursers knew how to treat the passengers. There were 7 of them, which is very rare nowadays, I think even for about 80 passengers on board. Only the salad was not too good, in fact it was uneatable at all. Summa summarum, that was a lot LOT! :)

Meal type: dinner
Contents of the meal: cabin crew served hot meal with some kind of starter - (on the left) - meat in oil, cheese and bread. The main course - cooked meat balls, fried potatoes and cucumber - all in quite good deep. Additionally carrots salad.
Drinks: Like usually a big variety of free beverages and alcoholic drinks; also very good vines served before meal and during all flight.
Comments: Very good impression, especially that LOT invites you for the full hot meal even in economic class on the european routes. Many other airlines serve only sandwich or some snack. Here in LOT Polish you can expect great hot meal. Very good impression !
