        Same. I generally enjoy all of the dishes provided.

        What ? airplaine food is known to be trash

        Not hospital tier level of trash but it’s not that great

        I also think hospital food is fine but this might be outside the US.

      I mean it doesn't seem to have all preservatives like normal muttslop, it's made fresh unlike anything you can buy quickly or cheaply. I don't know why airlines just don't sell this in grocery stores it would be healthier and quicker and cheaper than the slop you get in the US.

      Which airline provides the best food?

      Japan air, they have some if not the best authentic japanese food.

        i was thinking about that too. I wish there are some kind of compact meals like these available in the grocery.

        Because you are used to eating terrible food and have very low standards.

        >It's made fresh
        Are you brain dead? If by made fresh you mean stuck in a microwave then yes but it's essentially a shit tier TV dinner.
        Damn you Amerfats really need to learn what good food is

          Hey guess what, when you fly first class or private jet, the food is also catered and warmed up. Only billionaires maybe get something cooked on flight, like saudi prince level. And when you go to restaurants most items are just warmed up because they did food prep and cannot cook from scratch every order.

            wtf restaurants do you go to lmao. even at a chilis or applebees 90% of the food is cooked to order.

              I haven't been to those places but I really doubt they make a fresh pot of chilli from scratch every time someone orders it. They probably cook up a big pot every couple of days and microwave bowls of it. Stuff like vegetables and pastry that can be half prepared and then cooked fast will be cooked to order. T. worked in a pub with very nice food.

                That 90% of food is not cooked to order? How was that confusing?

                it's confusing because it implies that chili is 90% of the food that restaurants serve. i figured you had a point to make in your head but had trouble getting it out.

                That was an example I used because you mentioned a restaurant called Chillis which I assumed sells chilli. It applies to lots if stuff.

                they actually didn't sell chili until recently. but mostly everything there is cooked to order. obviously not something like a chili or soup as those take upwards of 1-3 hours to make. but anything grilled, fried, broiled, is all fresh, which is the majority of their menu. quesedilas use precooked and frozen meat, they're one of the few exceptions. non fried sides like mashed potatoes are generally cooked in the AM and kept warm, etc.

                anyway you cooked at a bar that also serves food, so your experience won't be indicative of working in an actual restaurant. i've been a line cook at about a dozen or so and they all cook most food to order. naming one of the few exceptions doesn't prove your point which is why i was confused by your last post.

            Op and probably 99% of people on this forum don't fly first class so you point is redundant.
            Also for what it's worth taste is reduced by anywhere up to 40% on planes due to the pressure so OP clearly has no palette and enjoys goyslop

              You're so mad that people enjoy catered airline food while you think applebees cooks anything. The one with damaged tastebuds is you. It's like you have zero knowledge of any of these industries bur wanna sperge out.

                I have worked in the travel industry for 12 years, flown with most major airlines and 6 times in long haul business class and I can confirm plane food is utter shit tier. I'm also a bong so your Applebee's comment is redundant.
                If you think airline food is good, as I said previously you have had a terrible upbringing and need to experience good food.

          They don't use microwaves dumbass. What, you think the airline kitchen is just 300 microwave ovens that they stick individual meals into?

        In Finland Finnair actually started selling theirs in grocery stores during Covid.

      I went on a domestic Indian airline called Vistara that did very good food.
      KLM sucked ass, British Airways have improved immeasurably recently. Virgin Atlantic going downhill fast.

        im stuck with BA due to work policy and I've noticed the same too, even out of LCY their catering is so much better. Does this mean they changed supplier or something?

      This. The food is always dogshit in the USA, but my flight departing from Rome had top notch food. Or so I’m told. I was asleep the entire time. The food at the airport club was incredible though.

    It’s heavily seasoned to compensate for humans not being able to smell/taste properly at high altitudes (being in plane).

    You just have shit taste and can’t appreciate subtle flavors

      This.

      Plus good quality.

      Agree and Asiana too are both so delicious. I've never been disappointed with flight food besides US airlines which give you peanuts, maybe a prepackaged old sandwich. I like peanuts but that's not a meal. In Asia you get meat, vegetables, a serving of rice, and fruit.

    during covid lockdown English airlines auctioned off dozens of airplane ready meals because the flights all got axed and they would have gone out of date. I paid £200 and got months worth of airplane food

    Best airline food I had were Air China and Korean Airlines by far.
    Worst, like literal shit tier was Delta. I thought I was eating plastic by accident, but no, it was just crap disguised as food.

    Air China was consistently amazing, fresh veggies, fruit and meat, very filling yet not really heavy meals. The only thing is they seem to have 3 menu options and that's it. You're always eating the same exact meals over and over again. But I don't mind, because it's clearly made with decent ingredients and as fresh as it can get. (Now, the service on Air China on the other hand... lol)

    Is this thread actually serious? I hope you food enjoyers are all flying first class because otherwise your standards are unfathomably low. Airplane food is consistent between airlines in how terrible and lowest possible tier food it is.

    I think of all of the countries I've been Americans have by far the worst food. I went to this BBQ place named Franklins seeing them a lot on YouTube. Shit is greasy and sweet, there's no actual flavor.

    I like it too. But its not because of the taste, its because of the setting and the whole ritual itself. The little tray with dedicated pockets for each item of the menu, the stale bread, the plastic cup with soda in it and the small single serving salt and peppers, all of this happening 10.000 feet in the sky. Something about it is just pretty cozy. Airplane food is a scientifically selected, made to appeal to as many people as possible, therefore you'll most likely like whatever is served.

    Hating on airplane food is pretty low-bro. Its what it is given the circumanstances, its just an enjoyable little process.
