    As for breakfast, anything with eggs is to be avoided - I've heard (albeit unconfirmed) they are made from unsellable discards from farms...
    Far more likely to be made from powdered egg.

    Come on! How likely do you think that is? Not very, I would say.

    richardw Unsurprisingly there is a website for this http://www.airlinemeals.net/specialm...nAtlantic.html
    If you look at this, these haven't been updated since 2007!

    I think it depends on the airline - some prefer to spend more on food than others - great ones are Air NZ, Singapore - can't comment on Virgin. Regarding special diets, it is often the airline caterer rather than the airline that provide a "job lot" of special menus to cover all dietary requirements.

    to be fair, it was a speculative discussion we were having in the office...either way, eggs have never been much cop on aeroplanes...

    Surely everyone knows that they use special eggs on airplanes. They are laid by genetically modified chickens and are square shape so the dont roll around during turbulance :D

    I have rarely met an airline meal I didn't like. Some people are real snobs.
    The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.

    Who Me :confused::rotfl:
    Not at all, infact from your recent Vegas report we seem to eat at most of the same places over there, I just do not like airplane food (even the smell of it) must just be us.

    P.S. Thanks for the pics of the shooting range, something I would really fancy this year - have to just be me though as Kathy will not go
