offro fame, sete, marce forzate, battaglie e morte. Chi ama la Patria me
segua.

Oh Dear ! Thanks for posting this Sarah
too damn funny . Actually Virgin International is usually not too bad
all round.
But not flown with that carrier on that route
I have passed this on -any royalties apply ?

The VERY worst airline food experience was with United some time back

5 hour flight after no food for 16 hours and they FORGOT the catering ?
Could have eaten JC off the cross and come back for the nails by the
time we arrived .

Some years ago I was returning to the deep north of the deep south on
a QANTAS domestic flight from Brisbane. Like you, I could have eaten
the cockatoo from the stew rather than the stone, and the meal that
was put in front of me actually smelt delicious. I was salivating in
anticipation, but the meat turned out to be utterly tasteless.

So I asked the hostie, "Is this stuff chicken or pork or veal?"

She looked down at it, thought for awhile, then offered her opinion
that it was probably pork. Then she giggled and added "Now I suppose
you'll tell me you're Jewish!"

Cheers, Phred.

All airline food is less than stellar.

On a flight once, a woman across the aisle next to me complained about her
food selection being "sold out." She was really miserable and vocal about
it. I turned to her and looking her straight in the eyes I said...

"Think of the passengers in luggage."

A few seconds later she was laughing and all smiles. She was pleasant the
rest of the flight!

We became secret pals.
