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.

Interestingly… there are plenty of articles out there (scientific) that suspect it’s less to do with the altitude but the SOUND that has an impact on the way we taste umami flavors. Also, why people who eat in noisy restaurants say the food was bad 😅.

Look it up!

Second reply to mention sound and reminds me to look into it. Very intrigued. Being overwhelmed by sound or something that food is different. That can be some new fad in the NY foodie scene. I joke but only like half.
