The Kiddies' Taste at Lufthansa

Granted, not everyone can afford to fly first class with Qantas to get a go at their super-delicious tasting menu, just released. Our next suggestion is to borrow a child (or if you have your own, they'll do too) and hit a Lufthansa flight to anywhere. Because this German airline has just got fun and original with its kids' menu (and we reckon we should be able to eat this way too). You can, for example, eat aliens that sound pretty tasty:

The martians have a face made of mousse and strawberry purée. Chocolate buttons form the eyes, two liquorice sticks the aerials.

Yum! The interesting behind-the-scenes story is that six trained children helped prepare and test the new menu items, and then they used a focus group system of children from varying nationalities to vote for the foods that should end up on the final menu.

Lufthansa says you have to be under 12 to get these foods, but surely they're not going to check your ID if you really want to eat their snake noodles in a tomato jungle?
