Snack - Vegetarian Pizza topped with Mozzarella Cheese, Eggplant, Zucchini and Peppers. - Cookie with caramel filling.

Orange Juice since you have to pay for those small wine bottles and the beer cans!!!

To see the Russian peanuts on board of an American airline flight was really funny for me!:-)) I had the very good Minute Maid orange juice. Usually I drink wine to survive 8 hours in coach sleepy but Delta wants 5 USD!!!! for a small wine bottle or a small can of beer which is totally unacceptable!! Thanks good I had some beers in the Air France lounge in Berlin prior to departure!:-)) The lunch was okay. The chicken looked like chicken and tasted like chicken (which is not always the case!!)......would have tasted better though with wine!!:-)) The potatoes were a bit oily but within the limits. The little roll was dry and tasted old, probably because it was packed. The black forrest cake was much better than expected!! Not as sweet as the Americans serve cake usually. As already mentioned...the coffee was strong and black....good job!!:-)) The pizza as pre-arrival snack was very nice and tasted good....of course with wine, it would have been better!!:-)) Very good caramel cookie. Overall.....pretty much standard food for a flight in coach, especially considering the low ticket price. If you want more, fly Bizz Class!! Delta (and all the other American airlines!!) nevertheless have to think about their wine and beer policy!!! 5 USD for a small bottle of wine or a small can of beer is usury!!! The service of the cabin crew was standard. You cannot expect much anyway when the average age of the cabin crew is 55....at least!!! Not to mention that some of them were heavily overweighted!!
