/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I didn't know they even served meals on planes anymore, that doesn't look too horrible either. I would eat it.

>>6531662
Get the Hindu meal. The can't fuck up a vegetable curry, even on a plane.

What are some airlines with good food and airlines with bad food?

Lets see if you guys have any experience

>>6531662

>>6531687
Most /ck/ posters are accustomed to airplanes flying over them, not being inside them.

anyone?

>>6531688
Kek

Most airliners don't even serve meals if the trip is under something like 5 hours. Most you get is a bagged snack and a drink.

>bag of chips and a can of coke.jpg

only international/business class has actual meals anymore. or you can bend over and take up the pay and 8 dollars for some microwaved shit sandwich.

I like your style anon

>>6531687
Bad food: in economy class, all US airlines, most euro airlines, some Asian airlines
Bad food in business class and higher: none that I've experienced. It's generally at least edible

>>6531694

>implying i want to get in a plane when the pilot is choking down an unripe banana

>>6531757

I'm not sure why, but your post just depressed the fuck out of me.

It's like the internet is supposed to be the great equalizer, and then you see a post like this, and can't understand how you're supposed to related to someone who's never even been on an airplane.

Even in europoor the planes are cheaper than trains.

How old are you, btw? I kind of grew up on planes, but have gone so al/ck/ that I can't drive without meds and don't plan on getting on a plane ever again. Also, the fucking cutbacks and whatnot's are so ridiculous that it doesn't even seem worth it.

>tfw i sat next to wesley snipes when he was actually relevant, and had all the oj, fruit, cheese (and champagne, if i was old enough) I wanted - and that was before take off
>tfw plane food (and drinks: bloody mary mix, and club soda with lime) gives me proustian feels

Singapore Airlines has dope food.

>>6531687
I went to China on Hainan airlines, the food was pretty good. On my return trip I asked for a diabetic meal; they gave me the regular meal plus the diabetic meal.

Some japanese airline had a deal with yoshinoya to serve gyuudon on flights.

If I every fly again, I want to eat air yoshinoya

>>6531694
>spills cream sauce all over the instrument panel and brings down the plane
ya no thanks, imma travel by boat and train now on

>>6531687
Turkish Airlines has some fantastic food. Had lunch on a connecting flight from Istanbul to Tel Aviv.

The main reason why people don't like airplane food is because your tastebuds lose sensitivity at the height airplanes fly.

>>6531691
Good job.

I get free standby on United, which has upgraded to some pretty damn good food. On my last flight I had a cold chicken and udon noodle salad with ginger sauce. One alternative I considered was "chicken and mozzarella on tomato focaccia".

It cost like $9.50 but my plane ended up diverted and then cancelled after 5 hours of flying and we landed in an airport where every restaurant but Dunkin' Donuts was closed so I'm glad I went for it, even if I got a migraine when trying to sleep on the benches there and ended up throwing the whole thing up. Air travel is truly hellish.

KLM economy class breakfast

Nasi Goreng on KLM flight

>>6531687
i dont remember what airliner i flew on but the in flight meal for coach was iirc a turkey sandwich and some oatmeal raisin cookies. maybe there were crackers but i honestly dont remember much because it was probably over 10 years ago since the last time i've flied

>>6532572
correction thats bami goreng but hey it's a lot better to have indonesian, chinese or indian food on a plane then any other type. It just tastes better in the pressure cabin.

>>6532572
>Nasi Goreng

My mistake sorry, I meant to write Mi Goreng

>>6532572
what's that lassie, there's a nazi going on a klm flight?!

>>6532680
Good job, that made me giggle.

Flew to Asia about a year ago, from Chicago to Manchester, to Qatar and then into India. Qatar airways had the best food out of them all even though I had a cold at the time and could hardly eat.

>tfw the hack steward doesn't serve your macadamia nuts on a plate.

>>6531662
whats the deal with it, anyway?

Not sure if want

Who else gets drunk as fuck every time you fly? If its a long flight I usually take a valium 20 minutes before boarding, then crush the free beers till I pass out. I actually enjoy flying tbh.

>>6532783
>free beers

not in economy :o(

last time i flew, i got a really nice tuna steak in the terminal mmm

>>6532785
on longhaul flights you get free beers in economy, but that may just be etihad/qantas. i always fly economy

I was on a plane on a monthy basis, but then I broke up with my long distance gf, so now I'm not flying that much anymore ._.

I couldn't get on a plane for all the beer in Milwaukee.

I've never flown anywhere but before I got my job I had not been on an airplane before.
I work for Alaska Airlines, but the only thing I know about their food are snack bags I find under the seats when I'm cleaning the cabin. Oh and that their food comes from a company called sky chef.

>>6531670
It varies on the airline.

The best seat in an Air Koryo flight is in the ball turret

Traveled to Florida and they handed out little bags of these amazing pretzel sticks. For some reason she kept handing me them, as well with my family, so I probably had about 10+ of them.

>>6531687
Emirates fed me well.

I don't know why but airplane food creeps me out. It always looks like it was just a pill that they put a drop of water on and then BAM, an entire meal, tray and all. It always looks so fake.

Latley I've only gotten the crackers and drink. Short flights so they say bring your own meal.
In the past Lufthansa had really good food as did most others of the Star Alliance.
Air Astana was decent tasting food but a little greasy. Served on real plates covered in tinfoil.

Using Korean Air next month Tokyo-Seoul. What meals did you have specifically?

Sorry for the God-awful quality, my phone has no wifi but my iPad does. I have two hours left on my ATL-Paris flight. I've had a shitty day with delta, and my meal was pretty good.

Shrimp salad
Cheese and crackers
Fruit assortment
Triple chocolate brownie (fuck that name. Fuck triple and double chocolate)
Biscuit

>>6533927
>tfw flying Delta from Boston to LAX tomorrow

i was going to get the fruit salad

>>6533927
Now that in-air wifi is a thing can we start getting cabin footage of planes when they go down?

>>6533164
Ooh, I remember flying with them. I wish I remembered what I had though. I only remembered that heavily scented lavender warm wet wipes they handed out to everyone. I'm pretty sure my mom hoarded a bunch of them.

>>6533941
my shrimp salad was ok I would probably get the pasta if I could go back that's just me though I'm not a big salad guy

>>6533927
How are you enjoying your flight? Personally I love going on plane rides, one of my favorite parts is also the food.

>>6533927

I couldn't believe my flight from Japan to Dulles had 2 entree choices: curry or fish.

Just roll and salad thanks.

Going to check them out now, anon.

Thanks.

Plane food is honestly the only part of the industry I'm interested in, and being a part of the plane food industry would be awesome, seeing as how I never plan on getting on an airplane again.

Flying, to me, is truly very underrated. Maybe it's because I've only been on a plane a few times but to me it's something really special and amazing. Just listening to the purr of that engine as you look out your window and stare at the sky, with the clouds below, then you take a snooze and after a while some nice lady walks by with a tray of food to give to you. It's amazing and I really want to be on a plane again, it's a wonderful experience

>>6534100
>Maybe it's because I've only been on a plane a few times

trust me, that is the only reason

flying is a miserable fucking experience

Late response if anyone's still on this thread- delta plane to Paris guy.

Just had a good meal
Starbucks coffee 7/10
Granola bar 4/10
Microwaved omelet croissant thing 4/10
Crackers and cheese 8/10

>>6534100
I'm the same way.

I know >>6534105
is less optimistic, but I love flying. I knock instantly once the plane does take-off and I always wake up to a nice lady asking me what I'd like to drink.

>>6534143
Looks cash bretty gud for delta

>>6534100
say this when your plane's wing gets clipped by another airliner and you endure a 2 minute terror spiral to your watery grave

>boss is a UPS Captain

>>6534069
At first I was pretty miserable. Now I'm listening to music and having a good time! Excited to land, excited to be in a new country for the first time! Personally, I hate white noise, so the engine sound does bother me

>>6534100
>Maybe it's because I've only been on a plane a few times
That's why. I'm a pilot and flying is god awful

>flying from Lexington to Cincinnati followed by two hours of ground time
I swear, it's worse than being a Jew

I used to fly a lot on Air New Zealand, and they always had great food, whether it was business class or economy.

Emirates business class was the best food I've had on an airline though.

What's your guys' favorite thing to drink on airplanes?

Mine is ginger ale or cranberry juice. Sometimes I'll ask them to mix it for me.

>>6534174
This is me >>6534174
Hard liqour

>>6534174
I've always gotten tomato juice to eat with my pretzels/peanuts. Don't know why

>>6534183
It's because anything tomato related is heightened because of the air pressure.

Pitaya, there's a pink pulp variant which is slightly more fragrant.

I remember when I went on singapore airlines as a kid they served me cup ramen on demand. that was fucking awesome

The insides can also be purple. I don't know if the taste is different depending on flesh color.

Experiences based on economy class meals. Video related

What's the food like in business class compared to economy?

>>6531687
Emirates are good

>>6533164
Only ever flown with Thai Airlines and I have to say their food was fantastic. From memory we had Pad Thai prawns, cant remember what we had on the way back, but it was as good if not better then any take away you can get

>>6532778
>>6533829

They all look like classic movie vampires

>>6534890

>>6533186
aww :3

>>6535064
Not lying, I would hoover that up so fast.

>>6531687
I only have experience with Bong airlines, but for the most part the food is pretty terrible. Not inedible, mind, but I'd recommend eating a lot before the flight rather than eat the airline food.

Why are the cups of water so small on airlines? Or have I been drinking water intended for washing fingers?

>>6532994

Hint:

Never ever fly with China Air.

My parents Flew on Concorde before it was shut down. Apparently the food was really good. I remmember them telling about how they ate quail eggs, and that there was actual silverware onboard.

Seriously? That is pathetic. Not that I don't like snacks but just because...that isn't a meal. It's a ton of processed sugar and carbs and processed beef sticks. I would puke on a stewardess for this disaster, on purpose. After about 13 drinks.

last time i flew with delta (us<->eu), the meal was alright, considering the circumstances. i had some sort of mini mozzarella pizza

>>6531830
Probably assumed that as an american you were requesting extra food.

>>6532994
Is stage 3 terminal?

>>6536644
Flew same route 5 months ago. Like you said food was pretty decent. Perfectly edible, and they didn't skimp on the alcohol on the way over from Amsterdam to Minnesota.
When I flew from Seattle back to Amsterdam they were a lot more stingy on the booze.

>>6537957

>>6531687
Air NZ has always been decent every time I've flown with them. Pretty simple, but there's never been anything objectionable about the meals.

Qantas a shit but bearable.

The one time I went with ANA 3 years ago the food was ok.

never been on a plane but can someone say why usa airplane food is trash is it cost counting?.

>>6538158
It's not exclusive to the USA, but yes, cost counting. People bitch and moan over a $25 difference in airfare, so why should the airline serve anything other than inedible slop?

It's why lately the trend has been pre-boxed meals that you pay for. They seem to be somewhat better quality than the old "free" meals they used to serve. Although they are not hot, I'd rather pay $7 for a box of 6/10 cheese and 6/10 crackers and 5/10 cured meats and 5/10 cookies, than a -2/10 tray of suspicious grey goo for "free".

10 years plus I have worked in airline catering, all the way up to running my own states unit for a few years.

Just finished my shift and noticed this thread, ask away if you want to know anything.

Wont reveal company or location however.

>>6538174
Whats the deal with airplane food?

>>6538174
Well obviously it is Australia, so probably Gategourmet or Qantas Catering, not that anyone is going to find you.

I would like to know the deal with the pilots being served two different meals in case one gets sick, is that really true and how does that work? Does one have to be bought at McDonalds and the other catered?

>>6538178
incorrect

Both tech crew are served an entirely different meal incase the food will cause them sickness. It is true, witht he 40,000+ meals made every day over different airlines its very easy to supply two diferent meals.

Tech crew are served usually business class meals, in business class passengers are offered a choice of meal from the menu

>>6538177
Its massively bulk made food, then portioned into bowls.

Some airlines are extremely strict on their quality standards, others dont give a fuck

>>6538186
But if it comes from the same facility then how can you be sure it's not contaminated with the same feces? Is it just a pro forma thing or have people reverse-engineered the process to make sure it actually reduces the chances of a problem?

>>6538191
If a staff member doesn't want to wash their hands after they have taken their shit, then yes. Usually two different meals are made by different stations or at a different time as you only make the one type of meal at the same time

>>6538196
I see, so in practice it drastically cuts the odds of a problem, but theoretically there is still some chance which is probably accepted given that a puking pilot can probably still land and anyway even if it gets real bad I've played a lot of X-Plane and MSFS so I should be able to help out if there's a real problem.
>tfw the pilots never pass out so I can heroically volunteer to land the plane and have stewardesses swoon
Like dude I totally got this guys, relax

>>6538210
stewardesses are moles. Should hear what they say when all the passengers get off. First people they see who arent passengers are the caterers. We hear all their comments about the fat man who smells down to the good looking guy that they reckon is gay and should have asked for their number

>>6531694
>dat banana
It's like they don't want a delicious, creamy, soft banana that actually tastes like banana

>>6538217

It's not going to give you the same sensation as a chili rava masala butter dosa dunked in sambhar, if that's what you mean. But the flavor comes from the stock.

>>6538274
Interesting

Is it filling? Cheap in US?

>>6538279
You should really post this in the Food from Japan thread, it's way way way off topic.

Bringing this back to the thread, the soba isn't going to be especially good in economy class on ANA

>>6538174
Is it true that some airlines go to ridiculous measures in order to cut food costs, such as limiting the amount of peas you can have per serving and shit like that?

>>6531687
Emirates was good. I heard Aeroflot was horrible giving you herring for breakfast.

>>6538313
Its all on weight, 250g is most often the amount of total food you will receive in your main meal.

Some like quality, others go for whatever is cheap. Airlines who supply rice in a meal are the cheaper ones

Everytime I fly I go on the same airline. Always just get the cheese and crackers because the food usually sucks.

>>6532786
beer/wine/liquor is almost always free on any economy overseas international flight

i wish they let me bring my own liquor on board mroe since the stewardesses don't come by often enough to quench my thirst

i can't sleep at all on planes, so the best chance i have is just getting drunk enough to nod off

>>6532568
What the fuck did they do to that tomato? It has the same shaky, barely held together emotional demeanor of a molested 14 year old.

>>6538357
You know you can ask for two at once, right? Unless you're visibly drunk they don't give a shit.

>>6538337
Motherfuckers. 250 g isn't even enough for a child, let alone a grown person. Also, I thought that rice is chosen because it's delicious, healthier, and more nutritious than potatoes, not because it's cheap. What other ways do those bastards screw us over on food?

>>6538369
>250 g isn't even enough for a child, let alone a grown person

You're the guy who hasn't been on a plane, aren't you.

I promise, when they plop that plastic tray in front of you and you take off the plastic wrap and smell that "wonderful" aroma, 250g will seem like too much already.

inaccurate, ive been on chinese and american airlines, for breakfast we had an omlete and shit a bun, salad it was all really good, you could have choose other stuff buti cant remember what, for the chinese airlines you for the dinner meal you could have got like chicken or fish then theres rice, a bun, i think some shitty browny and a salad also, all the food was pretty shitty like fast food tier

>>6535334
This would be incredible

What you said had nothing to do with the image you're quoting, but thank you for the story.

well, it's a north korean airline, what do you expect

ANA meal back in 2012.

It was pretty good from what I can remember.

Instant noodles meal on a United flight.

United consistently has bad food for me.

>>6535263
This is so true.

I got disgusting a dog-food tier meal from them, but I was so hungry I ate about 3/4 of it. Now I don't have a sensitive stomach and can easily have street food from all over the world, but this meal sent me directly to the shitter in about 7hrs. So while everyone was sleeping, I crept into the airplane bathroom and took the biggest shit that has ever escaped my ass. I was actually kind of proud because it felt like a birth of a child. Anyway, on the way back I prepared and brought my own food.

That's my China Air story.

>>6534890
If you want to taste, you can tell the steward that you're vegetarian (or fake it), they usually don't have vegetarian option, and I end up with first class meal on Lufthansa. It was pretty good, and I was served with a real plate (so that a plus).

what airline gives their passengers urine to drink?

>>6538313
Food cost factors in, but also there's load of the plane they need to account for, for fuel to take off

aside from salty snacks and water, there is no good airplane food.

it's all horrible, and /ck/ would be well advised to only eat the absolute bare minimum as necessary to keep one's mind off of food, stay hydrated with water, and enjoy the occasional salty snack (like, mini bag of chex mix, not bag of cheetos).

I've flown between the US and Eurasia about a dozen times and there were only ever 2 meals I found palatable without becoming totally nauseated.

One was some indian or maybe arab rice and chicken, the other was an ice cream.

>>6540431
that, and sleep as much as you can.

Only flown a couple of times, but lufthansa has good food, even in the goy class. British airways is horrible though.

>>6540431
>I've flown between the US and Eurasia about a dozen times and there were only ever 2 meals I found palatable without becoming totally nauseated.

You sound far too proud of being a hypersensitive little flower.
It's food.
It's not gourmet, but it's not nauseating either.

Eat it, be glad you have food, stop talking like you're a 17th century explorer surviving on wormy ship's biscuits.

In terms of Air travel, how much do they charge for meals? I remember the good old days 25 years ago when they included them with your ticket. Not so much now. Is it like $10 for a piss ant sandwich?

Can't survive a couple hours without food fatty?

Well we aren't the greatest country on earth by just eating your crumbs, peon.

Now hurry up and make more designer clothing.

I flew Alitalia in like 2010 and had their breakfast and dinner meals. The breakfast was pretty okay, some fruit and yogurt the highlight was the chocolate pastry, which was warmed. I got ravioli for the dinner thinking that it was impossible to fuck up pasta, and boy was I wrong. It was hella overcooked; I would have preferred Chef Boyardee honestly. There was more to both meals but that's most of what I remember. There was coffee/tea with the breakfast, I remember getting coffee and enjoying it.

what the fuck are those gelatinous/doughy looking things in the upper left?

>>6532783
I don't know where you're getting free beers, but of course I get tanked on flights. It's dumb not to.

>>6538357
I've never flown international, so I don't get free booze, but my local drugstore sells airplane-size bottles of liquor, so I just grab a bunch of those, chuck them in with my bag-o-small-bottles, then put waht I want to drink on the flight into my laptop bad while waiting to board.

Then I just wait till the free drink comes around and mix it up. Or not, if someone's being annoying and I need to get tanked right then.

Eat a light, nutritious meal before the flight, and eat a huge as meal after you land. Although, I've only flown between the USA and Europe. If you are traveling to somewhere where the water is bad, you should not take this advice.

>>6540507
This is the only sensible advice ITT.

Go to a nice restaurant before you board and get some quality food, then on the plane just eat snacks that they give you (biscuits etc) then eat once you're off.

Shitty economy meal flying from Germany to US. Pasta in red sauce, a salad that only consisted of mixed greens, small cheese wedge, tough bread roll, dry brownie cake thing, and a chocolate Weihnachtsmann because it was around Christmas. Not inedible, but definitely not satisfying.

They're gourmet meals of the best dignity and it's a traditional food and it's also a global food.

Flew British Airways last summer and got so fucking sick after having shitty Lasagna very close to a couple pint at Heathrow before my flight. Their breakfast stuff was alright though.

>>6534875
Air new Zealand does have some amazing food, I sampled quite a lot of it as I had yo travel there quite often and was never let down or disappointed. The other great thing is the stewards and stewardesses are always willing to talk to you because its long flights for them as well and they have to do shifts. Overall it is the best flight company and will never travel with anyone else of I was to go to New Zealand or connecting countries.

I want to know what airline is serving the one on the left

>>6538141
Philippine airlines is one of the best meals i had during international flights.

Ive never been in a plane either..
I live in a small country (slovakia) and everything is so close here that we only use planes when traveling for holiday..

Here's the stinger of my second China Air story:

Grey Cheesecake.

I don't see how your picture's relevent OP but alright

>>6531904

There's no spaghetti on that plate, you should be fine anon

>>6541109
It took you 255 posts to think up that one.

>>6531691
Clever.

>>6531662
Once I had a beer and a pot noodle cup on a plane and it tasted fucking amazing, I've had that combo again since and it wasn't as good as I remembered

I think planes fuck with your sense of taste or something

>>6541090
god I wish I had that kind of money and weren't such a bitter little goblin

>>6541134
Even if I could afford it, I'd be too awkward to enjoy first class. I would rather just buy 2 business class seats.

>>6541121
>>6541124
Wonderful! The prestige of the Chinese airline company.
A Chinese food seems to be expected deliciously.

>>6540507
I take some opoid painkillers before flying (obviously I don't bring the bottle with me) which makes the flight nice and relaxing and the constipation means I don't have to shit on the flight.

>>6541157
This doesn't look that bad, just dry as fuck
That butter looks too cold

>>6538174
Any idea of the average cost of the meal in econ and business for the airline?

>>6541159
that is a square of "cheese" actually

No you don't, it's fun for a week, then you start to slowly hate your life.

Worth the money that comes with it though.

Got to be a Chinese domestic airline. Those are godawful.

>>6541193
Ah yes the travel job humble brag. I do that a lot myself. It's a great way to avoid sports talk on those conference calls, since I don't know shit about sports and it just makes me uncomfortable
>oh man I'm so tired because I just got back from Singapore, this jet lag is killing me travel suxx0rz I wish I didn't have to do it lol xd xd xd
Cool story bro :)

>>6541191
That croissant looks better than the rubber ball bread bun airlines often serve.

>>6541194
Korean Air.

it was all quite good

I wish I had a picture of the slop US Airways serves me in economy class on transatlantic flights. It is always chicken or pasta. The chicken is always some kind of brown slightly slimy but somehow still dry chunks. The pasta is always slathered in incredibly salty pesto or tomato sauce.
The roll is smaller than the KLM one. The salad is 3 pieces of lettuce and a single tasteless strangely inflated cherry tomato. You sometimes also get some tiny pieces of chopped bell pepper in vinegar.

It is nearly inedible.

>>6531687

Most airlines (for international flights at least) offer an "upgraded" meal for like 20 dollars which is still a ripoff for what it is if you weren't on a plane, but it is a massive improvement on what you would normally get. And if you're paying 1k for a flight anyway, what is 20 dollars.

>>6531687
I enjoyed the food on my recent trip aboard EVA AIR.

That's not the only thing he's gonna be choking down.

>>6540697

Tasty food and satisfied passengers seem to correspond to friendlier crew behaviour, yea

EVA AIR. I laughed when I saw the Almond Joy. I fucking hate shredded coconut, but I was so hungry that it was actually palatable.

>>6542084

Oops, sorry, not EVA, China Airlines. Here's the second flight after that one. It was morning in Taiwan.

>>6542091

Last of the stop overs. I was a bit worried about the shrimp pasta, but I turned out fine.

Overall a 6/10 for all 3 meals.

There was actually a commercial on the television for EVA AIR like 30 minutes after I read that. And I'm in South Carolina. Which is odd.

Regional airlines love to cut back on anything as long as it results in better priced tickets that make them more attractive to competitors. Cut throat industry that it is there will be little chance you get a hot box meal and instead be fed peanuts and soda.
