/ck/ - Food & Cooking

How do you expect an answer to that question here. Do you think we fly all over the world what the fuck is wrong with you

>>12907229
>shrimp and corn

I'm really fat. Can I ask for double portions somehow?

>>12907229
>yes i’ll have this microwave meal for $15
>yes i’m retarded, how could you tell?

>>12907229
>orders this for a 30 minute flight
do you ever stop eating you fucking fatty

>>12907259
You wouldn't understand.

>>12907252
You know the meal comes with long flights? Never been on a long flight huh... Must suck being poor.

>>12907252
pretty much all airlines (excluding budget airlines like ryan air) include a meal with the ticket purchase on international flights.

>>12907229
What's the deal with airline food?

>not bringing your own 3 course meal in tupperware
You guy realise that you can do that right?

>>12907374
Lots of not quite budget airlines have stopped providing meals on short international flights.

>>12907391
>that nigga whomst meal preps for vacation

High altitude numbs the tastebuds so all airline food tastes the same

>>12907229
>tfw too fat to fly
>will never know the wonder of airline foods
who else in this predicament?

>>12907402
>meal preps
Just left overs, baby.
>vacation
Work.

>>12907431
>that nigga whomst doesn't get a company credit card for business trips

>>12907236
If they make you buy two seats, you should get two meals. If you're not a 2-seater you only get 1. You can always try to steal food from the poor guy who has to sit next to you though.

>>12907374
That's nice of them but I didn't ask for food.

>>12907229
>mantequilla
>tofu

>>12907365
Not the same guy, but I just have 0 interest in traveling outside of the US. We have everything here already why leave

>>12907466
sex tourism

>>12907466
>why leave
So you can learn firsthand the error of your assertion. Oh, but I forgot, learning is a globalist conspiracy.

>>12907509
I could spend my entire life exploring the US and barely touch 1/100 of what's to offer here though.

>>12907461
Mantequilla is butter, retard

>>12907233
never been on a plane, checking in

Best I ever had was Business Class on JAL; the worst was probably economy class flying China Eastern airlines in economy class

>>12907646
I have. I just don't understand how you plan on finding someone who has been on so many planes they can give an opinion on the best and worst airline food.

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.

>>12907442
I don't have to buy two seats. Is there really no way to order a double meal in advance?

>>12907454
Can I have your meal?

I mean I guess there might be extra trays left over and I could ask later.

>>12907416
I'm 320lbs and I can still fly. How big r u?

>>12907687
better yet: just watch Mikey Chen’s youtube channel and see his reviews....there is nothing glamorous about air travel anymore

>>12907466
nothing is quite like asia

the real asia, not chinatown

For me, it's Japan airlines

>>12907702
That is one of the few countries/continents I'd actually travel to

>>12907229
Air France is pretty nice, especially since they expanded the wine selection

>>12907229
I used to travel a fair bit for work between the US, Europe and South Korea. I stopped eating plane food all together and just had something I know my stomach handles well at the airport before boarding.

>>12907831
of course it is you weeaboo

>>12907229

Sri Lankan airlines had nice food, strong curry holds up well to the airline prep process, and curry and flatbread for breakfast beats shitty omelettes. Generous with booze too.

Cathay food is pretty good, best part was getting ice cream after the meal.

Vietnam airlines served some surprisingly delicious congee.

Worst by far was China Air, tbf worst all round airline I've flown long haul by a long shot. By a horrible quirk of timing, got served two breakfasts since I got a connecting flight. One was disgusting watery congee, the other was a hellish attempt at eggs and sausage.

>>12907693

Decent airlines will give you snacks in the galley if you ask. Cathay had instant noodles on demand, plus a help-yourself basket of cookies and chocolate.

JAL does it best

They also sometimes have fast food like Yoshinoya or Mos Burger

>>12907678
I was just about to say this. Best part is being able to order food on demand. Their katsu curry is yummy.

>>12907693
Yes just ask for a second meal it's fine

Delta has pretty good food. I flew from Atlanta to Munich and back this summer and the meals were tasty and well portioned.
I took an Aer Lingus flight from Chicago to Dublin once and also enjoyed it.
I also randomly got upgraded to first class on a Southwest flight from LA to Hawaii and the meal was good too.
Maybe I’m just easy to please, but I never understood why it’s a meme that airline food is bad? Maybe it was worse in the 90s

The only memorable meal I've ever had was on an American Airlines flight in first class. A decent Jambalaya. The worst I've ever had was the "pizza twist" on British Airways last year. Closely matched by the godawful "pastrami and mayo" or whatever it was on Hawaiian last month.

I can go really long times without eating without a problem, so I normally hate airline meals. I feel kinda obligated to eat them while they're there. Just bring me more booze and leave me alone.

>>12907687
>Sleep as much as possible
This. Fly from the Western US to Europe twice a month of average. Take off, have some tea, pop like 4 melatonin and nod off until about 40 minutes before landing.

Also good God BA is shit but Air France is amazing.

>>12907229
Best I had was probably ANA. Japanese food can be served cold.

>>12908257
>They also sometimes have fast food like Yoshinoya or Mos Burger
wat

>>12908315
Had Air Yoshinoya a couple weeks back

>>12907466

>>12907229
I've flown American domestic economy , domestic first class, international economy and international first class as well as JAL international economy and emirates international business class. From those I'd rank them:
1. Emirates business class
Gap
2. American international first class
Bigger gap
3. JAL international economy
4. American domestic first
5. American international economy
Biggest gap
6. American domestic economy

Southwest gets an n/a of course and I can't really remember the couple times I flew delta (to Jamaica in 2004) and continental (Costa Rica in 2009), both economy. My dad worked for American growing up so we were pretty brand loyal. Emirates is pretty fucking great, I heard economy class is even decent.

>>12908268
>southwest
>first class
What

>>12908468
I thought that too but maybe they have it for that flight only, it's probably like 7 hours. I'm surprised they even fly to Hawaii.

>>12908257
Word

>>12908461
It's probably for me:
JAL first
JAL business
Asiana business
Thai business
For economy it's:
Emirates
EVA
ANA
.....
Kenyan
LOT Polish
AA
DL
UA

>>12907702
Why would I go to a place where its not only OK but literally patriotic to look down on me for not being of their race/ethnicity
I mean thats a beautiful thing but I'm not going to spend money there

>>12907229
Condor. We got little tubs of noodles with some tomato sauce. Fucking disgusting. Even the food for the business class looked like shit.

>>12907461
pretty sure that is chunks of cheese with some peppers, likely pepper jack.

>>12907410
That’s not true at high altitudes your taste buds are effected by hypoxia and everything tastes amazing, if you do anything in life it should be try airline food.

>>12907229
Aero Mexico Fed us rice and beans and eggs in the morning to start an intercontinental flight. The absolute mad men.

Best I had in economy was Emirates. Worst I'm economy was American Airlines.

Best in Business Class was Cathay. Worst business class was Aeroflot.

>tfw they gave me metal knives and forks to eat my food one time
this was post 9/11 to, very odd

I fly a lot. Cathay and JAL are good. Emirates is supposed to be good, haven't flown with them. In n this thread they also seem to be the most mentioned names.

>>12909411

> Not finding it hilarious to troll them by your very presence, soaring height, hirsute body and beautiful blue eyes.

Ur missing out, m8

Had a memorable meal on Aegean, of all airlines in the world. Delicious Greek specialties overall but the real deal was the octopus. Turkish airlines would be a close second.

Emirates has always been consistent as well.

Swiss and any mainland Chinese airline are nightmare tier in terms of food.

>>12909905

Cont.

Of course every single American carrier is nothing but trash. You'd have to be stupid or desperate to fly long range with any of them these days.

Singapore airlines gives you a gift basket full of candy/snacks near landing. Too bad I can never afford to fly 1st class with them very often, I just got lucky.

>>12907233
literal flyover

>>12907229
>go on long flight
>fucking hate airplane food, the taste, the texture, the look; it's fucking disgusting
>but worst of all is the smell
>say no to any meal I'm offered all the time, but every time without fail the waft of that disgusting shit from other passengers makes me nearly pass out or feel like throwing up

>>12907466

>>12910163
Based. I usually leave the entree unopened and just eat the bread and butter which are usually the only appetizing thing they’ve got

I like to buy overpriced sandwiches, sparkling water and candy in the terminal. Much better than plane food.

>>12907229
i've heard good things about turkish airlines and from what i see on google it does seem to look pretty good

>>12907466
>we have everything
You don't have legal prostitution and women that are under 30% bodyfat

>>12907410
how do your tastebuds know they're in a plane? do they have an altimeter? and don't say pressure because they pressurize the cabin to be normal.

>>12910223
jesus imagine a transatlantic flight like this
you'd have time to feast, get smashed AND sober up after. or at least sleep the worst of it off.

>>12907229
>airline food
Im down for it

>>12907236
No, but ask for two seats you fat nigger.

>>12907229
You can't wait a couple hours to eat? You don't have to eat just because they offer it.
Bring some snacks if you're a fat retard.

>>12909411
I'm jealous because I wish the west did not lose those values

In order for me:
Business SAS
Economy Turkish Airlines
Economy & Eco Plus SAS
Business Lufthansa

Can't remember any other, I've skipped eating on a few flights (like the only time I flew Jewnited) to sleep instead.

On my flight back from bangkok I swapped planes in hong kong. I was now sandwiched in between an old chinese man who slept for like 18 hours solid and a fucking rude armrest stealing indian. Guess who made sure to get beef for their entree?

>>12907233

holy kek, u absolute amerilard

>>12908339
>>12909019
looks pretty, but innit all similar quality food compared to that of other airlines?

>>12911548
Prove me wrong.

>>12907466
based post, look at the seethe it caused

>>12907687
What is it like in the Amex lounges?

I love airplane food and I think that most people "hating" it aren't thinking for themselves. Like Nickelback or something else like that. It's just cool to hate it so they pretend to hate it. And most importantly tell everyone else around them just how much they hate it. Never seen a person refuse the meal. But have listened to a hundred childish groans and moans of "ohh my god. Just look at it!" Then they proceed to shove it in their fat mouths.

Most of it is good. Better than microwaved shit and worse than anything freshly made by anyone slightly competent at cooking. Exactly what you'd expect. But really it is the setting that makes me love it. It's a sort of ritual which takes you out of the boredom of flying for a little while.

>>12907229
Emirates is the best I've had

>>12910131
Singapore air was a real treat

>>12910223
stupid americans

>>12907229
I have very high opinions of ANA, and I hear that JAL is very good as well but I have never flown with them.

Don't bother with any US-based airline, I've not found good food on any of them.

>>12909019

Is that Gagh?

>>12908268
Please call me guys

Thai airways is pretty good

>>12911820
You wish, it looks like some awful zaru soba.

>>12910190
Las vegas
Anywhere outside of the south

>>12907229

only dumbfucks still complain about airline food like this is the 90s or something. it's supposed to be bland and flavorless to reduce incidents of stomach upset, don't want people blowing up the bathroom on a crowded metal tube.

>>12907229
why wouldnt you just order a banana every time you felt hungry?

>>12909501
I flew last year and I got metal silverware, this was after the TSA niggers made me check my 4 inch pocketknife. Doesn't giving me a metal knife defeat the purpose of not letting me take my knives on board?

>>12911820
HAH

What does your little shithole have that America doesn't?
