According to a flight attendant who has worked on flights for five years, many passengers, surprisingly, believe that there is a chef on board who prepares meals for them. And they often complain that the food in the boxes is too bland. The Sun talks about why airplane snacks aren’t as tasty.
The flight attendant urged passengers to take into account the fact that the dishes served on board are prepared not in the kitchen of a luxury restaurant, but in a special workshop. They are designed to be heated in small airplane ovens, which already affects their taste.
“The focus is on food hygiene and preventing people from getting food poisoning, so taste is second on the list of priorities,” she says.
However, there is a way to get a menu that will satisfy the needs of any passenger. To do this, on the advice of the flight attendant, you need to select dishes in advance from the special menu section on the airline’s website.
