I know just one person who enjoys (not tolerates but really likes!) aeroplane food. She is a hoot, so it's not surprising. There is little in this world she doesn't see the positive side to.
Most everyone else hates it with a passion.
I have tried to get around the usual "CHICKEN or PASTA???" by pre-ordering:
1) low-sodium -- 2 stale biscuits and a salad sans dressing. i was so hungry i could have eaten the plastic fork.
2) diabetic -- shame on me i know but...all potato and no pudding. oh, but you get aditional stale bread rolls. joy.
3) gluten-free -- don't even go there. it should read taste-free with textures that make you gag uncontrollably.
I thought G was the only person in the world who did this, ha ha...!
