Aeroplane Meals - 2 crackers, a roll and a funsize piece of Cathedral City, followed by an overcooked piece of chicken breast which is usually covered in gravy and served with some microwaved carrots and peas. Finally, a small chocolate mousse or something similar.
In any other context it's basically a bottom of the range tv dinner with some mediocre extras on the side - given the choice between either eating that meal or not eating at all, I'd probably opt for the latter. However, I get on a plane, and all of a sudden this shite food has become delicious and I can't shovel it down quick enough.
If I can hear you chewing then I am imagining myself throttling you to death with a rusty cable!
The bloke I sit next to at work eats with his mouth open, sputtering food across his desk. I'm not sure how I've managed to sit next to him for nine months without stabbing him to death with a pencil!

You eat the cheese "course" first?
I do indeed mate. Never considered the possibility of starting with the microwaved chicken supreme and then moving onto the cheese. You've raised an interesting point though. In a normal home or restaurant scenario, a cheeseboard is a dessert. But I wouldn't have a chocolate mousse AND a cheeseboard after the main course in a restaurant, it's one or the other.
In the plane scenario, clearly the mousse has to be a dessert. Based on the fact having 2 desserts seems odd to me, the cheese section moves to the beginning of the meal. I usually discard the crackers, put the cheese in the roll and have an impromptu cheese sandwich to start off. It's worked well for me over a number of years.
That's probably the two dullest paragraphs I've ever written. I might send them to the BBC so that they can commission a 6-part series about airborne eating habits, hosted by Sandi Toksvig and Paul Hollywood and featuring guest appearances from a selection of famous faces who talk candidly about their experiences of eating on a plane.

Never visit China, you'd lose your mind.
ha ha! I spent some time in Hong Kong in 2017 and it was a real eye opener! Slurping, chewing loudly and burping were all part of the norm. I actually found it hard not to laugh a lot of the time.

The worst part is, after 7 years here I find myself doing it, my grandma would be ashamed.
Corned beef is shite. Any perceived enjoyment of this foul product stems purely from nostalgia. No adult would willingly eat this cack unless they had some fond childhood memory of being served it.
