Disappointing given the culinary potential of France and the consulting chefs they use for Air France. The duck foie gras was nice and the Veal was tasty (like beef stew) but not really inspired and actually more comfort food than fine dining. The rest of the meal was largely forgettable and the small meal upon landing was the oddest combination of light snacks. . .none seemed to go together and the taste profiles were so opposite that it was almost inedible. I found it bizarre for a snack.
