Airline food is an odd source of fascination for me. This seems to be an oddity that Bazu and I share. I've gotta say, the donut is crazy cool. Almost makes up for all the other slop. I've found that vegan meals always come with margarine and dairy-non-dairy creamers. Sigh!<BR/><BR/>The Vegan Brunch Cartel looks fab, as always!<BR/>:)Ameyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00291071425858947632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1893219388343041757.post-61222526928208221482008-04-08T20:35:00.000-07:002008-04-08T20:35:00.000-07:00Nice write-up about the airline meals.

I flew from Washington, DC to Paris last year, and I was served 2 meals during the flight, but the two meals consisted of 75% cheese products.

Yum!<BR/><BR/>And yuck to [most of] that airline food. That is so frustrating! I haven't even been on a flight where I needed to eat since going vegan, but I can't imagine it would be easy OR anywhere near tasty. Even their omni food is siiiiick. (But that donut DOES look--and sound--pretty delish.)<BR/><BR/>I am sitting at my desk, just about to fill out my vacation form to take off time from work in May for when I head to SF! [Yeah, I read blogs at work...] I can't wait. And luckily--that one's a short-ish flight, so no mystery food for us!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04422795625379211589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1893219388343041757.post-25080921073136037352008-04-07T19:03:00.000-07:002008-04-07T19:03:00.000-07:00hmm... interesting airline food. now I know why my...hmm... interesting airline food. now I know why my family and I ALWAYS pack our own food for plane/car trips! haha.<BR/><BR/>so glad you're back, Melisser!!

What's wrong with providing a little bit of good comfort food to the battered victims of jet lag and air sickness? Usually, the last thing that I actually want to eat on airplanes is the food served.
