It takes 7 million eggs, 210 tonnes of prawns, 8.5 tonnes of lobster, 265 tonnes of salmon, 900 tonnes of pineapple and 100 tonnes of pasta products to feed Emirates’ passengers each year, a quarter of a million of whom fly from Dublin.
Most popular dish
One of the most popular meals on the Dublin to Dubai route is the Beef Fillet, which is served in both First Class and Business Class. The signature dish is served with horseradish gravy, colcannon potatoes and sautéed vegetables, all of which are sourced from local Irish suppliers.
