Tell us your favourite air plane dishes and best and worse experiences
I remember taking a flight with XL and their breakfast was sausages, their lunch was sausages, their dinner was sausages
Air plane food used to be much nicer I'm sure... but that was back in the days when they gave you a real set of metal knives and forks to eat it with.

what really pisses me off is that the non veggies get chocolate cake for pudding and the vegetarians get fruit! wtf!
Anyway - United or AA tend to have pretty decent food, Virgin used to when I flew with them and BA isnt terrible either.
BA do lovely meals but the worst food i ever got was on an American Airlines flight when i was 11 and it was all american crap. I asked the airhostess what we would be getting and she said 'lots of sugary things to make all you children hyper' errrr?
However as a could, I went on holiday and ended up with severe food poisoning - the docs couldnt tell me where I might have got it, they said it could have been abroad of the the flight food. Damn that holiday as I've had nothing but trouble with my tummy for years now, sicce then.
I love aeroplane food its great - though i'm not so keen on the new BA sky deli or what ever its called as sometiems they only give you crappy sweet things.
My worst ever meal was on AA as well - it was breakfast and we had cinnamon toast cruch, cinnamon roll, cinnamon ceral bar.
I wish I could remember what airline it was :crying:
how does that make sense! vegetarians eat chocolate cake too! and its not like they can use the vegan arguement cos the other bits werent vegan
Bet someone had to inform the airline in advance they were coming to get that meal .. :thumb:
My worst expereince was on a flight a couple of years ago, won't say which airline, but i'd requested a vegetarian meal in advance and they made an announcement before bringing the meals out that there was 2 options - vegetable lasagna or a beef curry or something, so when the air stewardess got to me i asked for the vegetable lasagna and she told me 'sorry, they've all gone', so i was like 'well, do u have anything without meat in that i can eat' to which she replied 'sorry no, you should have sat further forwards!!' wtf!
The best was Singapore airlines - we got a personal menu handed to us when we got on the plane with several options and it was delicious!
However i've only ever flown with virgin when we've been given meals so maybe i'm bias
Gulf Air do that as well. Bloody lovely food from them as well incidentally, but it was 8 years ago now.
SwissAir still give you real knives and forks. Their food is also very good, even if you're only on a really short flight (ie. Geneva to Zurich, 30 minutes) they give you a small bar of chocolate
I had a chicken salad once and the chicken was the dryest piece of meat I ever devoured.
Although i tend to like most airplane food anywyas.
