Posted: Mon Sep 05, 2011 4:07 pmMan... I actually can't complain about airline food... I don't mind the taste, though I can't really understand the mixture of ingredients they put in there...

I kind of like aeroplane food... Especially on Emirates! The quality of the fish has improved as well

On a related note though, that's quite a sad story. Purely for those reasons, I would reccomend anyone to go on a short course in first aid. They were fortunate to have such qualified members onboard. I know the results were fatal, but it could've ended, in a way, worse, if they didn't have the doctor and nurses on the aeroplane with them.
It is a sad story and touching too, how the girlfriend stayed with the deceased for the remainder of the flight. At the rick of sounding corny, the story had me all choked up. Having managed restaurants for 14 years I have learned that the ONLY food I enjoy is that which I have cooked myself.

I'm sure they all were trained, but it's not guaranteed to work. It's made harder by being incredibly confined on an aeroplane, and the treatment wouldn't have been instant.

This is a terrible story though. :-/ But is it really the quality of the food that made him choke? You can still choke on a 5 star meal that cost $100 at a restaurant.... but then again the first thing to do in these situations is blame someone and then sue....

Posted: Tue Sep 13, 2011 11:42 amOn my last trip to Hawaii, we flew Hawaiian 1st class! Awesome upgrade btw. It was a morning flight and our breakfast started with smoked salmon with capers, then a choice of meal. I chose the pineapple stuffed french toast. Man, I thought I was in a restaurant eating that! Then I looked out the window to see us 39,000 over the Pacific! Yes, 1st class food is always better than coach, but even on our flight back (in coach), the meal wasnt bad at all.
