Welcome to FT!!

It's not just you. Stogel is bad. Period. (Interestingly, he is a good caterer in-person. Just not a good airline caterer.)

Stogel don't make airline meals. They make long life (5 years) meals (think war bunkers and the like) that airlines use instead of airline meals as they don't require refrigeration. Still, they come from a developed country which may mean it better than the food in undeveloped countries, sometimes.

Interesting, belgium has a nice sized Jewish population, including a large Hasidic community (which I happen to have married into) so the fact that they're using Stogel is a little surprising.
I've only ever taken the train to Brussels or Antwerp.

It's unbelievable. shtoggle started to serve falafel on the flights, it really does not taste good, they make food that I simply do not like, Do it's okay with you, Do you enjoy the flight with such a meal.
Waiting for comments

שטוגל זה פשוט אוכל שלא נותן לי הרגשה טובה מתי שאני טס. לדעתי זה פשוט כי אין להם מתחרים, אם יתחילו לעשות קצת באלאגאן הם כבר יתחילו לעשות אוכל טעים, כמו שהיה פעם בארץ עם המשביע, חברה תתחילו להריץ תגובות שיביא לתוצאות במהירות האפשרית

Please write in English, in order to allow as many others as possible to understand you.

Rough translation: The problem with Stogel is that they have no competition, so they can do what they want. Rather like it used to be with Hamasbia here in Israel.

In response to your comments above: That would normally be the case, however, Stogel do have a competitor, from somewhere in France. The only problem is that their stuff is ... even worse than Stogel ... the crew on an Iberia flight we flew on (business class) agreed with us that it looked like dog food - they were curious as to what it was meant to be ...

As far as Hamasbia were concerned, the reasons for improvement were many and varied, but had little to do with competition (I was closely involved with the process at the time). It had much more to do with how much more EL AL were prepared to pay them for KSMLs than they budgeted for regular meals. In fact, the major improvements in Hamasbia were completed before the competitor (Deli Chef) was introduced, and that was a catastrophe! I think EL AL ditched them after about 3 months!

Thumbs up i agree

I was once served a stogel meal on a flight but can't recall how it was, however i do agree that they should hear that people aren't satisfied and try to improve

Stogel isn't doing anything wrong. They are preparing great meals that last 5 years. 99% of scenarios airlines shouldn't be serving such meals. All complaints should be directed to the airlines.

Seriously? Calling those meals "great" is beyond a stretch.

For what it's worth, Meal Mart makes shelf stable meals that last several years that are far superior.

I would not agree with that. We have found them quite disgusting. We have tried a good number of different ones and fail to see why people still buy them.
