Catering: Pinhas kosher food factory-kitchen (Moscow). At first there were thoughts to take the usual standard food, but at the last moment I changed my mind, and 3 days before departure I took my favorite kosher, which I was only glad of) Kosher in Aeroflot is much better than standard and "Russian", both in taste and content. It's worth saying that I just ate too much of it! Considering that the flight was at 01:00 at night, this was enough for me in full... And I took the hummus, the remains of the loaf and marmalade with me to finish eating at home, because it didn't fit in my. The fish fillet with rice was delicious and plentiful, in a full-fledged large cassalete. It was possible to eat only one of them already. Poultry meat used to seem better, but this is also nothing, although it now resembles minced sausage more than ham. But it went well with hatselim ) I didn't really like the Khatselim by itself, it smelled strongly of garlic, and I'm not a special fan of eggplants. But if you dip this bird sausage stuffing into it, then it will turn out great :) Individually, they are even less delicious than together. The mezonot bun seemed a little dry this time, I couldn't even finish it all on the plane... The crushed berries are delicious in general, but apparently due to the fact that they are fresh and without heat treatment, the packaging is slightly swollen. It was even worse on the way there. The swollen box with crushed berries was depressurized and leaked, which is why I smeared my hands (fortunately there were a lot of wet wipes and antiseptic hand gel). Watered only once, delivering everything (food, drinks, tea / coffee) at a time. However, at the same time they were not greedy, pouring several cups. But the savings are still visible.... And now about the most unpleasant thing that spoiled my whole impression of flying and eating for almost the whole day.... Because of the narrow tiny tables, clearly not designed for such lunchboxes and the amount of contents, I had an emergency ... Part of the hot along with tomato sauce was on me, plopping down on my snow-white Italian pants))) The same thing almost happened to my traveling companion, whose part of buckwheat fell out on her dress. Other neighbors then demanded to bring drinks later, after they had eaten, because everything does not fit well on these narrow tables! To brush away accidentally hitting- just spit. The same will happen with a loose fit and any careless movement... If in SQ or TK I had at least 10 cups that could be freely placed on the table in the presence of a lunchbox, then here one hardly fits on the edge with a large size of a kosher box... By the way, I have noticed this in Aeroflot more than once. Last year, the neighbors knocked over a glass of orange juice on their pants because of this... Who even came up with this stupid technology of distribution with tables clearly not designed for this?! In the end, it's just not safe. Fortunately, while food and soft drinks are plopping down, and not glasses with boiling water... I'm still waiting for this moment))) Apparently, after this, then something will change...In general, the rest of the flight turned into washing and washing my pants)) The flight attendants felt guilty (or apparently decided that I was taking kosher for a reason? :) Therefore, the rest of the flight tried to make amends and courted as best they could)) They brought me a bunch of large wet wipes from the business class and a whole stack of ordinary ones, a few extra bags of salt, so that I salted the stains with it, they gave me some kind of stain remover)) Well, then they brought me more tea and coffee)) And at the exit , the senior flight attendant apologized for a long time ) Well, that's how it is, I've never had this before =)

Date added: 2023-04-05   //   Flight #SU 1481   //   Flight: 4:0   //   Aircraft: Boeing-737-800 RA-73117 (or stolen VP-BSB) "Anatoly Koni"   //   Ticket price: 20950.00

Equipment: The tables are clearly small for such lunchboxes. At the same time as the box, they barely fit anything on them. When cups with drinks are given at the same time as the lunchbox, something can easily tip over your pants. What happened to me this time :((
