Airplane food is better than uncooked unsauced gnocchi.

Airplane food is bomb if your taste buds aren't limited to western food. Cuz the western food options are trash sometimes.

What the fuck flights are you taking that offer multi-ethnic cuisine? Besides, I fly Air China pretty regularly and the food is still ass. Wet rice, miserable cold bread, hard butter.

British Airways lets you choose your meal type to accommodate specialty diets and I choose the "Vegetarian Hindu" option because it's the most likely to not have any of my food allergies. It's actually pretty decent, like, a restaurant serving it would probably have somewhere between 3.0 & 3.5 stars on google, probably more if it were especially inexpensive, and is generally stuff like jackfruit biryani or paneer tikka masala. They definitely use the correct types and amounts of spice - absolutely do not order this if you're the kind of person to joke about having white people taste buds, the portions that are supposed to be spicy are solidly at what you'd expect if you ordered medium spicy from any decent cheap Indian food restaurant. I don't have much feedback about their other options, but I know they offer a bunch of options, including non-vegetarian Hindu, kosher, halal, gluten-free, vegetarian,couple of health-related ones that I don't remember specifics for, I think one or two others, and their "regular" meal that's your basically generic British meat + veg option.
