A Different Breed of Airline Food (Peter, Thursday)

Naturally, airline food comes with mixed expectations, but our international flights on the way to Bankbook were a culinary adventure in their own right. We flew via EVA Airlines, a Chinese carrier. To cater to their mixed clientele of western and Asian customers, they provide either a western or asian entree of your choice. The side dishes remain the same either way which created a rather odd mix. Overall the food was good and above typical expectations for airline cuisine, despite a couple hiccups.

The presentation was truly delightful. Meals came on green and white plastic trays lined with a patterned place may. Each component was delivered in and individual green and white dish. The colors were vibrant and the food looked far better than I ever would have guessed.
