"I select the “Hindu” meal, because I happen to love Indian food. Lately though, I’ve been traveling a lot, and the Hindu meal was starting to get repetitive. This time, I had gone out on a limb and selected simply “lacto-ovo vegetarian”.
Great TR! I totally agree with that comment, I have been vegetarian since I was born and have always eaten the Hindu meal on planes but I recently too went for the lacto-ovo meal, which I had on my BA flight from LAX-LHR and it was vile, like smelt and looked awful. Probably not going to do that again but I can relate to the sorry-excuse of a meal that you got
Safe travels!
