"Snack" served in Comfort 1 (Coach 3) on Thalys 9968 (Bruxelles Midi/Brussel Zuid-Marne la Vallée Chessy), on the Brussels-CDG Airport segment.
<p>
Thalys Snacks include:
<ul>
<li> 2 items of your choosing, among a range of sandwiches, pastries and dairy products.
<li> Fruit
<li> Water
<li> 1 Hot drink
<li> 1 Cold drink
</ul>
On (Greater) Paris<->Brussels, such snacks are served when travelling 09:15-11:15am, 01:15pm-05:45pm and later than 09:00pm.
<p>
In other time bands, other kinds of catering (breakfast, cold meal) are on offer.
<p>
Doubtless more basic than on Eurostar (not to mention defunct TEEs), but servings' quality ranked high.
<p>
As there was just a handful of passengers in Coach 3, attendants came another time with surplus choice items. 
<p>
A world of difference with Coach 1, chartered by Air France on Brussels-CDG (as flight AF-7186), and whose passengers could only treat themselves with a cold (soft) drink and peanuts...
