Branson's response is really a classic " sorry that he didn't like the award winning food." I tried bringing a brown baggie with a delectable roast pork home made sandwich and stuffing. Yummy. Air Transat made me off load it as it made my carry on 1/2 kilo over. I still have a mental picture of Air Transat staff munching my sarnies hunched down behind the counter with a big smirk on their faces. :violin:

When it comes to airline food and the complaints, I have to laugh..............You are sat at 35,000 feet in a pressurised tube slipping through the sky at 500mph...........as if that is not a wonder in itself, people complain about the food..... :lol: :lol:

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

LoL.

Some of that stuff in the first link looks very nice. The only problem for me is that I can't afford business class.

I get Sushi at the airport and eat it on the plane.

Way to go Fozzer, just make sure your carry-on is within limits. Those check-in girls like home-made. Unless of course it's sardines.

From the first link, I picked the ones that looked the most palatable. Choices are in order of the Photos from the link...

1. Delta (#2) - Out of all the meals pictured, this one looked the most appealing.
2. Trans Asia (#4) - The epitome of a light breakfast; methinks tastier than the other choices, except for...
3. Iberia (#7) - This one looks like something Paul (fozzer) might serve at his house; mighty tasty, I bet!
4) Air Yoshinoya (#8) - Can't go wrong with donburi, from the folks that introduced fast Japanese cuisine to the US.
5. Aero Mexico (#24) - Kind of basic for LGA-MMX, but still looks better than most of the others!

I have to say that maybe the best way is to go the DIY route. This guy on YT came up with three different meal choices, each with a little twist...

I used this one on a trip from KDEN-KBDL and back; it really does work, and the person sitting next to me was very jealous!
