LOT Polish Business Class Breakfast: Simple Yet Satisfying

Matthew Klint Posted onAugust 7, 2023November 13, 2023 10 Comments

My Meal of the Week feature examines an airline meal from my travels over the years. This may be a meal from earlier in the week or it may be a meal served over a decade ago.


I enjoyed a simple yet satisfying breakfast in LOT Polish business class on a short regional jet flight to Warsaw.

LOT Polish Business Class Breakfast

When it comes to the “Continental divide,” I fall more on the British, Irish, and American side of breakfast. While I do not mind bread with cold sliced meat and cheese or hardboiled eggs, I enjoy hot eggs for breakfast virtually every day of the year.

Onboard, the “business class” seat on this regional jet was simply your own row in a 2-2 configuration (adjacent seat blocked), but that extra space is appreciated and so was the full breakfast served onboard the roughly two-hour flight.

Although our flight departed fairly late in the morning, breakfast was served after takeoff: poached eggs in a zesty tomato sauce with yogurt (plain, sprinkled with dried dates, raisins, and apricots) and cold cuts (ham, turkey, cheese, hardboiled egg, cucumber). A hot bread roll was also offered.

Two poached eggs in a decent tomato sauce may not be much to get excited about, but it really hit the spot and the consistency of the eggs (slightly runny) was perfect.

I concluded the meal with coffee (water and peanuts were offered with it).

Even though the seating makes intra-European business class a less valuable proposition than in much of the rest of the world in which regional business class includes wider and more comfortable seats, I still appreciate the extra space and enhanced meal onboard.

    ” I enjoy hot eggs for breakfast virtually every day of the year.”

    How does that work with intermittent fasting?

      You can do the 16-8 intermittent fasting diet and eat between 6 am to 2 pm for breakfast and lunch….

        I know that you can do that. I was referring to Matthew’s system where he wasn’t eating in the mornings at all.

          Well, breakfast literally means breaking the fast. Why do that in the morning? I tend to not eat in the morning not because of some fasting fad but more because I really don’t feel like it and haven’t been since I was a kid to the annoyance of my parents. And I really love an English or American style “breakfast” for my first meal of the idea at roughly lunch time. In Britain it actually is a thing in pubs as “all day breakfast”, but you can easily do it at home.

          Btw, the plane meal looks a lot like a Shakshuka, which is a really amazing thing, and a traditional breakfast food in the Middle East.

            I really don’t know if Matthew was using the literal meaning of the word in his sentence, even though in the past he has said that he avoids breakfast due to intermittent fasting unless he is traveling.

            And it isn’t just the UK where you can get “all day breakfast”. The fact that it is called “all day breakfast” suggests that you are eating the meal outside of the time when it is generally consumed.

      I “break my fast” each day at 1300, generally with breakfast items like an egg white omelet and green drink that I juice myself, followed by Greek yogurt. Have been able to keep that up while in Germany.

    My wife was impressed that about 2 years ago, the regional flights betweens between Warsaw and Odesa and Krakow included free snacks and a beverage in economy class. Previously, about 10 years ago, LOT didn’t give you anything in regional economy except for water and charged 8zl (about 2 dollars) for a cup of coffee. The FA offered the coffee to the cabin and no Poles appeared to take her up on the offer so I presume she dumped the whole pot.

    I like the Polish overtones to this breakfast,apparently since,LOT has gone in another direction catering which is why I was rather disappointed in my long haul experience biz class.Soups are one of Polands culinary strong points,hot,cold,sweet, savory…we were served corn soup!Not Polish,traditionally corn is only used as livestock feed.I hope they return to more authentic offerings like in your post.

      I also got corn soup from WAW-JFK and KRW-ORD – strange indeed.

    Looks delicious. I’d have preferred a bit more bread to soak up the sauce and yolk.
