Business or leisure trip: leisure, visiting my friends in Turku (flown that as well but there was no service on the 18 minute trip) and Stockholm
Meal: Lunch
Meatballs and potato salad. A little chocolate, a roll with butter and jam. + drinking water.
Drink: non alcoholic and alcoholic beverages, wide range. I had Coca Cola three times. And coffee, of course.
Comments: Finnair thankfully not saved money on the onboard food, meal, catering. Although the old MD80 was seemed to be a bit of used. Anyway the service on board was fantastic, the meal was not too much but enough and tasty.

Meal: lunch
Meatballs made of game, rice with oats, cooked carrot slices and basic brown gravy. Simple salad, roll and dessert. The dessert is difficult to explain... it's a waffle with lots of flauvoured "foam" on top of it(a banana-flavour in this version) and all this is covered with thin layer of chocolade. It's kind of a Finnish treat, I've seen similar ones only in Germany.
Drink: Red wine, spring water and coffee during the lunch. Gin & tonic, beer and soft drinks during the rest of the flight.
Comments: Nothing special, tasted okay. The returning flight had much better meal, but unfortunately I remembered to take picture when I had all done.
