Airline meals
In a spasm of de-inspiration I have decided to add a new section to this wannabe website. A commentary on Airline foods. You are also invited to submit your pictures of airline meals for publication on this site along with your comments and votes.

Well, more snacks. And a good selection too. Fruits. Sandwiches.
Peanuts. Snack biscuit type things. And, drinks of course. `For
excellent range and variety beyond just nuts - a good score in
the snack category.

Well this really was a disappointing breakfast. The fried noodles
with chicken, "leafy" greens and black mushrooms were cold. It
had been heated up at some point (clear from very slight warmth
and condensation) but it was cold when it arrived. And I'm not
sure I know which bits were the "leafy greens" either. I think
they meant herbs - there were a few of those.
Joghurt was nice - but Swiss joghurt usually is.

It's a sad day when a bag of processed peanuts beats a sandwich.
But this bag of nuts definately does beat the Swiss Sandwich
I had a couple of weeks ago.
The white wine (a Reisling) was highly drinkable. A bit sweet
for my particular tastes but enjoyable.

In the choice between braised pork in green curry with vegtables
and steamed rice and pan fried beef with peppercorn sauce, ratatouille
and mashed potatoes it was always going to be the pork in a green
curry. The pork itself was average although the rice came out
pretty well - and a darn site better than some places I've had lunch
in Zürich
Either dish came with a penne pasta and vegetable salad. Which
wasn't all that really.
Result buoyed by metal cutlery, very drinkable Paul Mas Syrah
wine and Mars Ice Cream

In spite of there being a choice of hame or cheese sandwiches,
this ham sandwich was thrust at me. Probably best given the last
cheese sandwich I had on Swiss which I didn't like. The ham sandwich
scores scores ½ a point on account of being semi-edible
(I ate half of it before giving up and it didn't ruin my palate
before I tucked into the drinkable but uninspiring Australian
wine.) Better but a long way to go.

Well. What a way to start this column. With a crap meal. In many
ways this epitomises the airline meal. No imagination. It's a
cheese sandwich. With gherkin. The Gherkin is the one ingredient
you can guarantee is in every Swiss sandwich. The cheese didn't
taste of anything. The bread was dry and stale on the inside and sweet
(like dried honey) on the outside. Yuck! The best thing about
this meal was the Australian red wine which succesfully took
away the taste of the sandwich - hence two points.
