Is there a non-opinion based way to rate in-flight meals across airlines?

Accepted answer
A list of what can you expect below. Specific comments on Lufthansa and Emirates only, I haven't flown the others this year.
- Food and water/soft-drinks is served for free. Typically twice on a long flight: dinner and snack/breakfast. (For a regular economy ticket). Most will also serve alcohol for free, some may charge extra.
- I found the quality to be hit or miss even with the airlines on the same route. Lufthansa and Emirates are one of the better airlines, but I certainly had bad food on LH as well.
- On some airlines you can grab a snack from the Galley during the flight. Again, it's hit or miss and depends on the airline and the mood of the staff.
- There are no non-stops between MUC and KTM (I think), so if food is really a big concern, chances are you can have a nice sit down dinner/lunch at the the layover airport. This will be quite likely better than any airplane food.
- Chances are you will spent most of your time watching movies so the in-flight-entertainment system is important. Emirates "ICE" system is quite nice and has a large selection of movies and TV shows (games, air maps, etc). Lufthansa does adjust this by routes and typically has a much smaller selection.
- A big part of your experience is seat selection. Window is good for sleeping and having extra elbow room. Isle is good for getting to the bathroom and getting stuff from the overheads. However you also need to get up for the other passengers in your row and you will get bumped occasionally by staff and passengers walking by. Middle seats are terrible. Avoid if any possible
- Seat reservation on Lufthansa has become frightfully expensive. For Europe to East Asia they recently charged $70 US per leg (i.e. $140 US round trip). That's a LOT of money, so comparing prices is helpful. You can always chance it: seat selection is free at check in, so if you go online 23 hour before departure you may be able to get something good without paying extra.
- If you want to check luggage, make sure you understand whether you need to pay extra and how much. LH does sell "Light economy" which typically does not include a bag
- You also need to make sure you understand carry on restrictions, as they are all over the place. LH and Emirates restrict the weight of a carry on, and LH does enforce this often by weighing carry on bags. Other airlines have a size restriction or both.

AirlineMeals.net might fit the bill: it's a giant repository of photos of airline food, so you see exactly what was served and can form your own opinions: http://www.airlinemeals.net
For example, if you search for "Lufthansa dxb", it shows you meals for their flights to/from Dubai.
