Abstract
British chef Chris Staines will provide the culinary introduction to the new year for Lufthansa passengers, creating menus for First and Business Class passengers on long-haul flights during the months of January and February.
Passengers travelling in First Class will have a chance to sample his rabbit terrine with English mustard sauce and cucumber relish as a starter, and choose, for example, between fish & chips (fried cod with sauce remoulade, mushy peas and potatoes) and fillet of beef Wellington with truffle jus, carrots and broccoli as a main dish. In Business Class, Staines will treat passengers to a varied menu including fruity chicken salad with Stilton cream and almonds as an hors d'oeuvre, followed, for instance, by fettuccine pasta with creamy mushroom sauce and white Cheddar. Karsten Benz, Lufthansa's Vice President Sales & Services Europe: "He will be showcasing the best of British cuisine to our long-haul passengers every day as they cross the oceans and mountains of the world. It is fitting that food from the home country of our European headquarters is now being recognised in this way."
