/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I fly business/first internationally all the time, and as appealing as it was for a couple of years, I’m fucking over it. People like OP still think there are secret special menus and quality food hidden somewhere, but the truth is there is essentially no GOOD food on any airlines: just less bad. For example you can get a delicious looking meal on Emirates or Cathay in first class, but it’s stuff that if you got it on land, you’d barely give it a second look. Frankly, Asian food is modestly better, but only because there are so many stewed items, noodle soups, and cold dishes. Western menus are shit...forget JFK-anywhere in western europe bc you’ll get shit tier “beef” and rope-y chicken breast with steamed cauliflower. Breakfast is the worst.
My advice: get a plat Amex and eat in Centurion clubs on land, and take the instant noodles for your in flight meal. Sleep as much as possible.
