About two weeks ago, I mentioned I would have limited Internet access for a week or so – Yes, I was travelling, again. When I arrived at my destination, I found out I did have access. Oh, well… So, I quickly removed that sticky post and the rest is history. Why do I bring this up?

In the past, I have blogged about the food eaten during my flights and this time won’t be any different. Almost, that is… The difference this time? Previously I have flown mostly Air Canada and United (which code share their flights). However, this time, my destination required me to fly Continental and they serve food… For free! (However, compared to Air Canada, their entertainment system sucks). So, here it is, the infamous airplane food…

Before I continue, I must mention I did not know they would serve food (for free!). Air Canada would usually sell sandwiches for a fee (usually $6 or $7). As a result, I had breakfast before my initial flight – something I usually do as most of my flights are relatively early in the morning. However, for my second leg, due to a really short overlay (barely 30 minutes), I did not have a chance to buy something to eat and had to rely on, sigh, airplane food… Anyway, I had the option between chicken sandwich and beef wrap and I chose the later. Along with the wrap, there was a salad and a brownie:

Before anybody says anything, yes, the salad looks horrible, no excuses. The wrap was hot (temperature-wise), to the point it could easily burn somebody. It had some leathery chunks, which I assume would be the beef. Otherwise, it was bland. As for the brownie, it had a strange moist texture, which makes me believe it a lot of odd chemicals must have been used. Not sure if it is a good or bad thing to mention that the best part of the meal was the can of pop/soda to wash it down (usually would have asked for ice water; however, the brownie left my mouth too dry for just a small glass).

Overall, the food was barely edible which reinforce the phrase “you get what you paid for”. Sure, it filled the tummy but that was about it. Oddly enough, in my return flight, I chose not to have dinner before my flight (due to time) and only pretzels were served. Hmmmmm…..

What? You are still here? Well, since you took the trouble (or using RSS)… Good things come to those who wait, hehehehe. In my post above, I did not mention *where* I went. So, here is a preview of the food at my destination, hehehehehe. Old readers might have a gist of where it was, if not, wait for tomorrow! ^_^

Yes, that’s a McDonald’s, or rather, a McCafé

See you tomorrow! ^_^
