We were big fans of the dinner service on our KLM flight to Amsterdam a couple of years ago, so when we saw them starting to serve dinner we were excited to see what it would be. I checked on the in-flight entertainment (there is a meal section!) before the food came which said the options were either a Dutch beef dish or pasta. A and I both picked the Dutch beef option. It's a Dutch airline, so of course we went with that!
Our dinner tray
Each meal came with a warm soft dinner roll. We skipped the butter but it was nice having a warm roll.
Each tray also came with a small package of crackers and some cheese. In this case it was the Carr's water crackers which are common here along with some Tillamook cheddar cheese, which we knew was from Oregon. That was a nice snack.
The "appetizer" for the meal was a salad. The salad had lettuce, cherry tomatoes, shredded carrots and a protein (which we can't remember but might have been tofu or fake seafood or chicken), in an Asian sesame dressing. It wasn't the best salad in the world, but it was light and refreshing. It always feels good and very cleansing to eat salads on flights.
The main course was like the Dutch dish hutspot with beef, and consisted of beef in a thick brown sauce with onions accompanied with mashed potatoes that had carrots and onions mixed in. We were happy with our choice. Although I don't usually eat so much beef (and gave some to A), the sauce and the mashed potatoes were both good, which made for a great combination. A thought the beef was more tender than he was expecting, the mashed potatoes were good, and the dish was nicely flavored.
Dessert was a cake which A remembers as an apple cake. I don't remember the exact flavor (even though it's only been 2 weeks!), but it was moist and sweet and a good ending to dinner.
After dinner, we tried to get some sleep (mostly unsuccessfully since the flight was so warm) before it was time for breakfast!
