Contents of the meal: Salad: shredded carrot and cucumber; Entree: Cold cut plate with ham, smoked fish and potato salad; Desert: something made from sweet potato.
Drink: Turkish red wine and coffee
Comments: Cold cut plate for dinner? They really try to cut their cost, didn't they? The salad tasted quite bad but the desert (sweet potato ball?) tatsed quite good. Those cold-cut meat was okay. However, I was not in mood to have a cold meal for dinner. The Turkish red wine (in the small bottle) was decent.

Comments: Seems they forgot to check who ordered special meals, since I was presented the classic question "chicken or pasta?". When I said I ordered a special meal, the thistimenotsofriendly f/a managed to get one from her trolley and handed it over without words and hurried on to the next row. Maybe I asked too much.
