Finnair business class passengers on long-haul flights from Helsinki can pre-order chef-prepared gourmet meals. Options include ‘Wellness and Energy’ – honey and sesame marinated tofu with rice – and ‘Food-Lovers Treat’ – grilled white fish with carrot puree, asparagus and poached spinach. ‘Chef’s Gourmet’ – reindeer tenderloin served with barley risotto, porcini mushrooms, roasted artichoke and thyme sauce – is a traditional Finnish dish. Let the staff know if there’s a special occasion as champagne and chocolates can be made available.
