InFlight catering for vegetarians
does anyone in the know, understand how the veggie option by inflight catering works?
Today the offering on a short haul was ham and cheese croissant. Asked for the veggie option expecting a cheese croissant. I got given some rock hard chocolate pastry and different 'bits'. Thinking it might be vegan, and they cover both diets, I checked and it was full of butter, milk and eggs.
So what's the benefit of airline caterers doing this? Would it not cost more to actually provide 2 different options, rather than the same option filled with and with out ham? If I'm cooking, I'll do say a veggie chilli and a meat one.. Same dish, same base sauce...it's easier than preparing and cooking 2 totally different dishes.
I see this with the sandwiches they provide... It's meat sandwich or a salad for the veggies.
Just wondering if there was a proper logical, cost reason they do this??
