Turkish Airlines

I do not do this often, but why not make a brief post of my recently demolished airline luncheon. I have to hand it to Turkish Airlines, I think they are fairly high up on my list for good air-cuisine experiences.

While the initial boarding of the aircraft was somewhat comical (due to random self-seat-re-allocations), I finally found the lonely seat abandoned by the first seat switcher and took my place. After a short snooze and a quick read, we were served a surprisingly tasty ensemble of smoked salmon, yogurt/bean salad, cream cheese, fresh rolls (well not too fresh), beef/eggplant roast with seasoned rice, a selection of wines, beers, and liquors, and a finale of a vanilla pannacotta dessert.

I must say that for a reasonably priced airline (the cheapest flight available from Istanbul to Riga)  this complimentary surprise was quite refreshing :)
