I concur. I swear the portions are huge compared to other foods and I have seen this many times. Besides you also get portions of regular meal too like a bun, or a bagel, along with condiments + fruits. Not to mention you get your meal before others. All in all its not a bad choice for me.

As to the couple you were talking with, if they really feared you because you were TWB, they aren't worth the energy you put into this post. Bigots are everywhere.

No no, nothing against the FA. Infact she was quite courteous. I also dont really hold against the passengers either. Who knows what experiences they had to form this opinion. My issue is with just the terminology of Muslim meal when it should be renamed something else by keeping religion out.
