It is rare that a meal is remembered mainly for its dessert, but today's lunch was one such meal. Peter van der Poel carries the title of "Master Ice Dessert Creator" according to the menu card, and it is easy to see why. The dessert was the ultimate in culinary orgasm, made even sweeter by the fact we were at 30000 feet. Bravo KLM, bravo.
