I personally don't mind the food that they serve on the plane, I just don't really get why some people think it is just so sick. I don't ride business class or anything, just coach, and I think it's not too bad. I usually ride United, but I've been on others and it was still ok.

I was on the plane today and I had chicken with mashed potatoes, there was a side salad, and cheesecake for dessert which was great. Then for breakfast, I had some noodles with mushroom sauce on it which was pretty tasty and a fruit salad on the side. (I was on an international flight, that's why I had 2 meals)

So yea, I was just curious what others think of the food on the plane?

United is pretty good food. Cheaper flights = worse food, usually. When I flew to LA, outbond we had a cheese omlette, sausages, and some sort of mystery fruit. Inbound, we had pretzles :(.

The free in flight movie was nice too, except it kept me from sleeping. Well, not as much as the pummeling I was taking from the beverage cart :D

I don't have a very refined taste in foods so I enjoy basically anything put in front of me. The airplane food is nothing different than microwave TV dinners which aren't too bad.

As its the only food i'm likely to get on a plane, i usually scoff the lot. Its not brilliant, but it could be so much worse. The worse thing was on Air Transat, flying to Canada, i opened up the packet with my cutlery in it to find it all dirty. Blurgh!

I think it depends on the airline.

Air Canada - Not bad
Canadian - Not bad but was better before Air Canada bought them
Air France - Pretty good
Delta - Sucks big time

I'm usually pretty happy with airline food.

You see, I have rotten airplane luck. There is always some problem with my ticket. My flight is always delayed by at least two hours. Once on the plane, we always taxi for at least one hour. And we always have bad weather once in the air. After all this waiting, I'm pretty much ready to eat the in-flight magazine from the seat in front of me.

I'm not too picky with my food so more often than not, airline food tastes OK. Does any of it repulse me? No. Has there been any coach class dining that just tasted absolutely great? The honey roasted peanuts on Continental. :)

We used to always fly first class and the food was good, not great. Now I fly business class and it stinks!

On Delta the food was OK.
On United they served MickeyD's once. Which may or may not be good, depending on your view. :D

Although my opinion isn't necessarily the best, I actually *liked* school food.

I don't mind any airlines hot dishes. But when they give you the cold food like the bag of crap before you walk on the airplane, or those little sandwhich rolls, those are just nasty.

The only good food on an airplane is the food you carry on with you...You know where it came from...how old it is...really if it was bad...would you have brought it on with you in the first place? ;)
