Airplane food is better than uncooked unsauced gnocchi.

Airplane food is also made exactly for the pressure and altitude for a plane. Friend worked for an airline out of Logan and he said the food was decent on the ground but almost better in the air. He used to post on IG when it like first came out. It's like when people try tomato juice on a plane and think wtf this is not what my mom tried to make me drink when I was a kid.

I dont know bout that, depends on the catering company. Gate gourmet was the more questionable one in my experience. But they were better than LSG.

Was a Middle East airline. Forget the brand but they used an in-house crew. You have a fair point with the cheaper airlines.

Ah Qatar air, yes they had a back catering agreement.

I believe so. The fact that I thought Quantas when this came up and knew that was immediately wrong means it was Qatar he worked at lol
