Guys I finally figured out the deal with airline food. It's not as good as, say, a homecooked meal or going out to a restaurant because they make it to be warmed and served in little boxes while you're sitting in a 350-ton metal cylinder that's hurtling through the sky at 550 mph.

Best thing to eat while flying are the cookies and ginger ale, anyway. Airplane chicken kiev can just sit there and congeal. Well, congeal *more*.

But decent food can fit into the cylinder, too.

I only discovered shortly before I ceased to fly that a curry chicken sandwich with cabbage is the ideal airplane meal.
Peanuts are the ideal airplane snack, but so many people are allergic to airborne particles that I stick with almonds.
Not that I'm ever risking my neck on a plane again...

I mean, unlike on TV, no flight attendant has ever attempted to serve me a fish or a chicken. It's always just seven pretzels or some kind of wafer.

Have you never flown internationally? That’s when you get an actual meal.

Hmmm. Since I'm never flying again, I'll never know.

I want to get home in one piece so I can make my own dinner.

My Granny talked about flying in the 1930s (I think) where they got off the plane, went to a hotel and changed for dinner. Then stayed the night and set off again in the morning. 🍽️🍷

Now if we could only figure out what’s the deal with those tiny bags of peanuts

This is why I always bring a little camping gas burner and make a nice hot meal in the toilets on my flights.

Someone had a decent American education.

Also the altitude plus pressurized cabin thing means everything tastes differently. If I could exercise any self control, I would sneak the food off the plane and eat it on the ground just to find out what it really tastes like.

Also the movie PLANE? Recommended.

It's true. I used to work cooking meals for airlines. Despite meals being over-seasoned to negate the effects of altitude and re-cycled air, a meal that tastes fantastic on the ground tastes meh in the air. The importance of smell to taste should not be underestimated.

scschluter.bsky.social•9 days ago

they say that but when i bring my own snacks they always tasted normal

tubapeter.bsky.social•9 days ago

Huh.

We should do a double blind test. How much are you willing to spend on airfare?

Anything on those tiny bags of honey roasted nuts yet? It’s been, like, almost 40 years since it was first questioned.

Check out the YouTube videos on flying in 1950s and 60s. They had lobster and caviar. When I flew in the 80s, Wardair served steak on real china...
