Oh those were the days.
I do remember some good inflight meals many years ago. In 1990 Pan Am offered special meals for pre-order to members of their FF program -- status not necessary. I ordered a seafood plate on one TATL flight, which featured cold shrimp, crabmeat, smoked salmon--I don't remember what all but it was quite good, certainly much better than the regular coach meal. The lady next to me eyed it jealously and demanded, "What meal is that -- kosher?"
