We hopped a Thalys high-speed train from Amsterdam to Paris. Our seats were in a car with free Wi-Fi and food. Having flown cheapo US airlines for too long, I expected the usual peanuts or pretzels. Wrong! Shortly after we got on the train in Amsterdam, we had the choice of a savory or sweet snack. Both of us chose a small bite of vegetable quiche. We thought that was the end of it; however, when we left Brussels, the stewards came around again with lunch.
Lunch consisted of rabbit meatballs with potatoes, vegetables, a small poached pear, artichoke purée, a roll, and a cheesecake-like dessert with lemon glaze. The wine was complimentary. Sure beats peanuts.
