11/6/2010 Air France

anyone who says airline food sucks has never eaten air france's 1st class meals. we've blown all the credit card points to get the seats and boy are they worth it! check out the post for air france from july 2010 and you'll see this isn't just a 1-off.

this is *so* good! it's schweppes tonic with a mix of several citrus fruits. if you know anywhere in the states that sell this please let me know. i've found several places that will import it but it's $$$$$ to do that as an individual.








amuse bouche:
crab with mayonnaise
gourmet appetizer and seasonal salad: scallop flan (right)
salad (middle) - that's a tomato slice that looks like salmon
smoked duck breast and basil mayonnaise - cold
there's a berry 'jelly' and grain bread


main course:
pan-seared tournedos of beef with shallot sauce roasted potatoes, broccoli and baby carrots

matt's main course:
glazed fillet of salmon, basmati rice with wasabi, beans

you can also see the

selection of cheeses:
a brie and a hard cheese
here comes dessert
there was also a fruit basket
cookies or sorbet...
cookies.
chocolate tartlet, paris-brest, strawberry macaroon with pepper













and for breakfast...

fruits, yogurt

french toast with blueberries and strawberries
or beef pastrami, smoked chicken, gouda and emmental cheese














while i'm sleeping when the l'instant fraicheur or gourmet snack arrives, it would be nice if the f/a would set one aside and let me have it when i wake up, or even tuck it into the pocket so i can see and eat when i wake up...
