Cuban food, catering company "Cubacatering" (Santa Clara ). The cost of meals is 14 USD (or 908 Russian rubles). During the flight lasting 11.5 hours, they were fed hot only 1 time, and before landing they were given a sandwich with cheese. So I had to take another paid meal. Cuban food, despite the fact that it was much more modest than the Russian counterpart on the SVO-SNU flight, cost almost 1.5 times more expensive! 14 USD instead of 9 USD! At the same time, it was much more modest and worse in quality! Paid meals began to be served soon after the sandwiches, about 2-2.5 hours before landing. And they did it in an original way. They drove past me with a cart, looking at their lists, and then didn't even remember that they had passengers with ordered food. I had to call them with the call button and remind them of this. Then they brought it. Tea-boiling water was also carried at random, forgetting about some. Although inattentive service can be attributed of course to a long flight and fatigue of the crew. The fish and rice were not good. It tasted like badly cooked tuna. Still need to be able to spoil the tuna. Rice is unleavened, generally fie....And note, the whole 14 bucks, with an average salary in Cuba of 15-25 euros )) You can eat and get enough of it, of course, but it doesn't taste good... Some kind of salad from local exotic vegetables I could not identify what it was... Otherwise, everything is the same as it was before.
