Netherlands (AMS) to United States (PHL), 14 Mar 2006

Business Class

Dinner; boxed pizza snack - Mimosa (champagne with red orange juice; excellent) Red wine (Merlot) with salted nuts (good) Crew salad (oil/vinegar was over date! Otherwise very good) Ravioli dried tomatoes and wodka sauce Dessert: cookies, cheese, undefined sweet white thing (reasonable) One hour before arrival: boxed pizza with small salad (again with oil/vinegar over date) (nice and warm)

Mimosa, merlot, diet Coke

I travelled on a B-code ticket (full price economy) and upgraded using my dividend miles. By the way, the pursers admitted being a little worried because there were only 9 travellers in Envoy (15 empty seats!). The mimosa is always nice; I really like the red orange juice. The merlot red wine was fine; nothing special but also no headache. As usual my vegetarian meal had been forgotten, so the flight attendant gave me her crew salad, which was very nice of her and tasted excellent. The only critique would be the enormous amount of croutons. The cheese ravioli was okay. I did not notice any wodka taste (but then again, wodka is tasteless isn't it?). I did not like the fried spinach on top of the ravioli; too greasy. The cheese and sweet dessert was fine, but next time I will pass the white sweet thing. It was undefinable and my teeth almost fell out because of the amount of sugar. An hour or so before arrival we were served a boxed pizza Margharita. Not good calorie wise, but the taste and texture were above expectations. I did not take a picture of the white and brown chocolates that are given at the end of the flight to all Envoy passengers. They were excellent but not exceptional. All in all a very reasonable meal.
