I'm sitting in the airport in Auckland, New Zealand awaiting my flight to Christchurch, New Zealand, when I realized a couple of travel points. First, at major international airports, there should be small gyms/showers. I would happily pay $20 right now to just ride a stationary bike and take a shower. That would be awesome.
Second, I'd like to compliment myself for being smart enough to date someone smart enough to stick a Tide pen in my carry on. I kick ass. Although, in fairness to me, they shouldn't serve anything with tomato sauce when you're going to be sitting in the middle seat of the middle section of a 747 for 12 hours and you have to stagger elbow motions with your neighbors. Especially when it tastes like red dog food with olives.
Anyway, this got me to thinking, why does airplane food consistently taste horrible? I mean I'm not looking for filet mignon, but preferably something that doesn't instantly invoke the gag reflex. The thing is, on most of my recent international flights, it's not that the food has been bland, but that it just tastes like ass. So it's not like they're cutting costs on ingredients here. I'd prefer bland.
Paired with the fact that they don't even serve food on most flights, I don't understand why they can't just put something simple together. It feels like they're trying to hard.
I think at least, they should provide everyone with a nice bottle of tabasco sauce to allow us passengers to cover up the crap. Then again, on a 12 hour flight, that may not be such a good idea...

I'm surprised they didn't serve you Koala or Kangaroo on the flight. Would that have been preferable? Remember that TopChef episode where they had to make an airline meal and cook it on the plane? It seemed very hard to do. They should serve Bertoli pastas. Yummy!
Actually DAD SAID:
One of the best experiences I had with airline food was in a flight form Chicago to Miami (business trip around 1994) they served a small pizza (simple but good) I congratulated the flight attendants and thought that would be the begining of something , but unfortunately since then I have had no more pizza but a lot of terrible food in the many flights I have taken around the world. When will they learn!!!
Have a great trip and bring me back a Kangaroo!
Dad
I remember a flight from Paris where the food was totally inedible; even Dad couldn't eat it. We went 18 hours without a single bite. I guess you can look at it as unavoidable dieting. Or better yet, survive on "liquid" noursihement. It may not be better, but it will make you forget!
Airplane food? Really? That's the best topic you could think of for your blog? I know you are new at this blogging thing but common, I know you can come up with something more creative than that. If you keep this up you are going to lose readers faster than New England scoring on the Dolphins. Try not to do something that every want a be comedian does. What's next, talking about someone losing your reservation?

That's it? You're criticizing my humor with that? I've read funnier shit in the Bible.
