horribleperson said:i dont know about the rest of you but when i fly to europe i fly first class on British Airways or Alitalia and ive never had a problem with the food. if you guys would stop thinking of it as a 5star meal and more like a burger from McDeath then you will be happy with what you get.
One example of a meal I complained about: the vegetarian option on a Virgin Atlantic upgrade-to-1st-class. It contained a sandwich with cucumber slices in it --- unfortunately, the cucumber had been sliced while it had a plastic wrapper on it, so there were thin pieces of plastic throughout the sandwich.
Another example: the vegan option on a British Airways standard class flight, which contained both chicken and pork, as well as animal-based gelatine.
While this might match the standards of McDeath (I have never eaten at one, so can't really say), it doesn't meet my standards of reasonable service. 5-star gourmet expectations have nothing to do with it.
