Airplane food is good. amirite?

It's awful, but on long flights you still want to eat something, even if to distract from the boredom.

That really depends on the airlines, doesn't it?

Yeah I agree it's not as bad as people make it out to be. I really like Air Canada's food and beverages.

It's basic, and designed to not give upset stomachs, so a bit bland. But I haven't had any "gross" food in a while. Do really want a closed tube with recycled air and limited toilet facilities full of farting people with diarrhea?

I wouldn't say it's good or bad - it's fine. That said I agree that people seem to complain more about it than is warranted.

I've always liked airplane food. Turkish Airlines has particularly good food, but I'm good with meals even on US domestic flights.

Hmm. At those altitudes and air pressures, your sense of taste differs, so all food tastes uniformly bad, regardless of quality.

Honestly I've never noticed this before. I've always loved airplane food.

That's a myth. Perpetuated once again by the southwest marketing blitz. Higher altitudes do reduce the sensitivity of taste buds but the solution is to just add salt to your meal. Ask any smoker, less sensitive taste buds don't make things taste uniformly bad, it just makes you less sensitive to flavour.

No most people don't eat microwave meals nor are they dumb enough to say it's good Pick up a frozen meal from your grocery store. Or the microwaves garbage at Applebees. It is the same as this b

"most people don't eat microwave meals" oh yes the famously unsuccessful microwave meal market that's only worth USD 143.94 billion.

No no, I'm a picky eater and actually do despise most plane foods

I have a friend who's a flight attendant who told me herself to avoid it if at all possible. I'm gonna go with her advice and my own experience with how god-awful it has been so far.

I do not regularly eat microwaved pasta. I may have never eaten microwaved pasta at my house. I also haven't had a fruit cup since I was a child. Airplane food is bad.

Agreed. I don't fly often, but even the "small bag of various snacks" is usually decent. And I had Bibambap on a Korean Air flight that was absolutely delicious.

Some of the best sandwichs of eaten were from airplanes

an airplane has a smaller and more restricted food prep area than almost any other food service in the world. even a food truck has a more functional kitchen than an airplane.

It depends on what you order, things like wraps are usually pretty good, but the hot stuff is just microwaved for way too long.

You've not yet had a literally powdery omelette (more like vom-lette) and sausages on a red-eye, have you? The only time I nearly threw up, in my late childhood.

I have, it's fine but I should come clean and say I also like MREs

by Anonymous 1 year ago

Ahh lmao. MRE's I find pretty good tbh (except the vomelette, for the record).
