What’s the deal with airline food?

[SwampCreature]

What's with it? A few traits are:

- Could this stuff taste any worse? It's, like, "Thanks, but no thanks. I'm still stuffed from that huge bag of smoked almonds!" And what's with that beef stroganoff they serve you? It's looking at you, like, "Come on! I dare you”. And the guy next to me, he likes it! he can’t get enough of it! I'm looking for a dog to slip it to, this guy’s asking for thirds!

– Even people of five to ten years ago ate airline food on planes and I am very short which is ok really no judgment but what’s really annoying is I’m totally obsessed with it! I’m always going on about 6’ this and 5’ that, showing I have an Americanised understanding of it all, indicated a heavy cultural influence from Hollywood and/or US sports! It fuels my obvious issues with self confidence but I mean is that wacked out?

– airport food is better. I mean I grew up in a time where at our teenage peak, blokes something something cool reference famous person contemporary language random anecdote about my very recent childhood I recount like some kind of Apocolypse Now flashback because I have no concept of perspective in life. Well every guy looks like a wigga but girls look cool.

– They seem less interested in airline (i Will the AFL suck in 10 years who cares this is about me ()) and be full of athletes Nic Nat?

– GIVE ME ATTENTION

– Nightclubs are scary, they should serve airline food, rare treats for them, even do pre drinks. Everyone who is not me is wrong.

– every thread is a an actual cry for help please help me airline food

– 800 word paragraph. Yes a single paragraph with very poor punctuation to boot

– They all think they're tough. Back five years ago you at least folded airline food nestled in the pouch in the seat in front of you

-Nirvana. See I’m cool I said Nirvana

tldr I wish I was young, 6'4, and had options of girls with their best years ahead.

they should open an airline food restaurant. I just don't know where else I can drink water from a small plastic foil sealed cup.

Food is good in Business class... Just sayin.


Your taste buds are less active at high altitudes so food has less flavour. Best thing about flying is bloody marys, for some reason they taste better.

 

[Run n Spread]

Take the water bottles they give and spill on your shirt. It will dry in half an hour.

That is what is dehydrating you and your insides.And why the food is shit. (Occupational hazzard human bodies don't generally shoot out of a cannon and fly 30000 feet @ 1000km/h).

Otherwise they may as well serve drugs. Then we might get some sleep instead of resting our arms against the emergency exit while children scream, someone snores next to you, some campaigner complains about something.

Me: I'll take the cheap option and fire away. Just get me where i'm going.

What? No way I call bs

Somebody science me this

I'm still trying to figure out what a ****en BANGA is.

Wait what

Somebody science me this as well

This thread’s a BANGA

Also, have you guys ever heard of a band called Nirvana? They’re pretty obscure I doubt you have.

Good Thread actually, harkens back to the peak era of BigFooty. People who eat airline food are unfunny twats, they remind me of the people you meet in your Media Arts Dynamics tute on a Tuesday at The Hall, tell you they like Ed Sheeran and wear jeans and use Instagram, they're ****ing dickheads.

I reckon people who like Airline Food are the types that still haven't moved out of home, I moved out of home when I was young and moved to Melbourne all by myself and had to fend for myself, unlike these losers.

 

[SwampCreature]

Do you live in Melbourne SA? I had no idea.

At high altitudes our taste buds simply don’t work properly. The low humidity dries out our nasal passages, and the air pressure desensitises our taste buds, which is why airline often opt for salty stews or spicy curries. Airlines planning a new menu will often taste food and wine on board a flight before clearing it for public consumption, because of the variation in taste. Some airlines install sealed rooms in their kitchens room to replicate the experience of eating in the sky.

 

[SwampCreature]

Well science me

So why doesn’t depressurising the cabin or whatever they do fix your taste buds?

I am genuinely fascinated by this

So hang on, does the same sea water taste different the deeper go go?

Yeah I actually moved across the country from my Parents house when I was young, and not to a pseudo faux trendy area like Fitzroy, its full of the tryhards who wear beanies and tell you how they met the guy from Tame Impala on a Wednesday evening at a club and he ordered a really shit beer, it's actually a really lame place. Dunno, maybe I'm getting old, kids have lost their Social Skills.

I was actually in Melbourne when Freo made the Grand Final that time.

If you could invent a fishing line long enough, would the fishies in the deepest of deeps in the ocean taste different to your run of the mill coral trout?

I feel sorry for the people on MH370, if they are still alive they will have had to eat airline food for almost 4 years now, unless they started eating each other.

nah they'll have found the leftover food from the Dharma Initiative by now

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Omg

 

[Richard Cranium]

Didn't that all just end up being a dream?

 

[perthblue]

The island wasn't a dream, the 'flash forwards' in the last season were all a dream. Well not really a dream, they were just dead.

So insensitive. You disgust me

Pretty sure fishing line that long has been invented, just never built

You just keep making fishing line, it’s not like it’s a secret

This is such a good impression

Quiet Alert got banned pretty quickly I wish you the best of luck sir.

Airline food keeps me amused.
Last flight I was on they had 2 choices,some pasta muck or pork snags,as I was sitting next to a muslim I went the snags.
They were rubbish but it didn't stop me commenting loudly how lovely they were.
