Hello All,
I'm new here and I am a self professed foodie- there.. I admitted it. I love good food in any form or at any altitude. Give me hospital food and I will critique it. Tonight I was chatting with Steen about, what else.. food, when I shared with her a much beloved link to a website that I feel NO foodie traveler should be without.
AirlineMeals.net
Are you tired of crappy airline meals? Are you tired of asking for water and getting a little sippy cup sized doling? I say give me the whole bottle dammit! Perhaps you're fed up with paying like $5 for a sandwich sans condiments and donning a layer of neon orange *pasteurized cheese food* that I wouldn't feed my pet rats?
If you agree with any of the aforementioned, then you're a foodie on wings and as such you deserve proper beforehand knowledge of what meals you can expect while trapped in those metal birds. Arm yourselves, take to the skies with a camera. Snap a few shots of the meals you've loved/endured and you can help other foodies on wings become empowered before they confirm that flight.
The days are gone when I could pack myself a cute little plane picnic. Now when I fly, I have to bare my soul in a plastic bag just to get through boarding. Good-bye fair chef salad and umpteen litres of Evian tucked safely away in my carry-on, ready at a moment's notice- waiting to be imbibed. Good-bye lovingly prepared spinach wrap, you are now replaced with sub par vittles peddled at a premium that I begrudgingly pay for.
Economy, Business or First class.. we deserve good food!!
Personally, I love flying Lufthansa, and up until recently, there was internet access aboard most flights. Let's face it, we're all pretty much suckling on the teat of the world wide web, so net access on a plane is a boon on any flight. Also on Lufthansa, not only does the wine and cocktails flow like the river Nile, but the food is actually pretty good. Camembert, Pinot Grigio, a sun-dried tomato pasta and lemon scented linen face towels prior to our meal pretty much sum up my experience on Lufthansa Economy class to Frankfurt from LAX.
We are no longer stuck up there at their mercy. Foodies on wings unite!

a friend of mine told me a few days ago that lufthansa lost their contract with boeing. i have no clue what boeing has to do with internet connection, but apparently it does.
the food is ace though and when you ask for water they give you the whole bottle! it's same with soda, i was shocked and awed when i asked for ginger ale and got the whole can.
Oh, and btw... I am loving that site! The old old photos are the best.
I haven't flown Lufthansa since the 70s. But that sounds like a glowing review. What happened to internet access?
We are sorry. New comments are not allowed after 30 days.
