6 Reasons Why Airplane Food Tastes Different

So, airplane food. The best part of flying, right? Who doesn't like to hear the phrase "Chicken or fish?" But it seems that the question really is "to eat or not to eat?"... Did you know, for example, that your airplane food isn’t exactly super fresh? Typically, your meal gets prepared 10 hours before you take that first bite. Or that all the dishes you eat from during the flight - even plastic ones! - are reusable? Interesting enough, that fact is that airline companies plan all their meals up to a year in advance! They count every single cherry tomato that you'll later find in your salad. Can you imagine that? You've probably heard that famous story when American Airlines managed to save $40,000 after they removed an itsy-bitsy olive from each salad on their flights! Yep, it's all about the right planning.
