The occasional discussion of Amtrak menus and the years when different trains had their own menus has been of interest to me. I do recall the times when such regional menus were available and helped to make train travel fun. As a result of my interest, I have been doing some researching on some of the airlines web sites to see if I could find their menus. Sometimes, it's possible; sometimes, it's not. The domestic airlines, if they post anything, post generic menus. I have found one situation that I think is interesting and wonder what the airline's passengers might think.
A Lufthansa flight from Miami to Frankfurt: The First Class menu has 5 selections of appetizers and 5 selections of entrees. The Business Class menu has 3 selections of appetizers and 3 selections of entrees. 3 of the First Class appetizers and entrees are identical to the 3 offered to Business Class passengers. Given the price difference between First and Business Class, I wonder what the First Class passengers would think about that. If they knew.
The companion flight to this one is the Frankfurt to Miami flight. Both menus are different from each other.
I can think of a possible reason for this. In Frankfurt, Lufthansa would have their own kitchens. In Miami, they probably wouldn't and have to use the services of another airline or an outside caterer.
