I'd agree with you...there are a lot of constraints/limitations in terms of the conditions in which food is prepared & served inflight. For example, it's actually pretty hard to serve a lot of Chinese dishes (particularly ones which are stir-fried) onboard. For that reason, I don't often go for the Chinese dish when I'm flying an Chinese-oriented airline such as CX, CI, BR (and I say this as an ethnic Chinese person).
