I've always been puzzled by the this: The quality of airline food has been a running gag for comedians for years and the average passenger won't hesitate to relate a personal story of how disgusting it is......but skip to the actual airport and you should see the rolling of eyes, whining and complaining when that same passenger is told that there will be no meal service on their flight.

Some airlines manage better than others
There must be something to the idea that you get what you pay for because there is a wide variety in the quality of the food you get on board and even at the airports. The best solution when possible is to bring your own food. Then you know it's clean and safe to eat.

While the OP (and picture) is intended to be "humorous", unfortunately, some of the "stuff" I've eaten (even in BC), would make me wonder what its source was.
