Meal type: Brunch - Chicken fillet with cold letcho, served with ham and smoked cheese, together with bread and butter. Both the bread and the drinks were offered twice during the flight. The main meal was followed by sweet cookies. Before landing, a candy was offered as well.
Drink: Wide variety of soft and alcoholic drinks. Since it was still morning I chose an apple juice for the meal.
Comments: The high quality and the very satisfactory quantity of the food served on this flight came as no surprise - already knowing and again appreciating the excellent food, meal, catering on Malev. Maybe the cold letcho was a little bit too challenging experience...
