A special IATA meeting was held in London to define a sandwich, and hear violations. The airline industry body declared that sandwiches had to be “cold… simple… unadorned… inexpensive” and had to “consist of a substantial and visible chunk of bread.” Moreover they could not contain anything “normally regarded as expensive or luxurious, such as smoked salmon, oysters, caviar, lobster, game, asparagus, pate de foie gras” nor could they feature “overgenerous or lavish helpings which affect the money value of the unit.”
I love airline meals! They are such a treat. Get your mouse away from the downvote button and I shall tell you why… I don’t fly very often and I am usually very hungry by the time the meal gets brought around so it really does taste nice. And it’s a very plastic kind of meal, very tiny, and I never have processed food so it really feels like a bit of a space-age game to me. All that dreadful plastic and the Barbie sized tray, I cook all my meals from scratch so airline food is so weird and such a rare experience. I like it in the way I like “funeral food”: the little triangular, pure white sandwiches (no crusts) and tiny sausage rolls. Perhaps it’s the child in me that likes them… I don’t know. Okay, you can click the downvote button now. 😅
