I've found over the past few months, on international flights, the meals that have been "inspired" by these world renowned chefs have been awful. Lots of ingredients like couscous and kale. Yuck. More about making things "look fancy" than actually things passengers may want to eat.

Well, last night I flew EZE>MIA in F.
The appetizer options were smoke salmon (with wasabi and something else) or mozerella and melon balls. It was nice to see the smoked salmon back as an appetizer, and it was a full size plate of it.

Upon closer inspection of the menu, I noticed on the first page it did not have any "chef inspired" language. It was very basic, and almost back to what the meals were like a couple of years ago. Still included soup (which I don't know why they can't provide a proper spoon to eat it with).

Here's hoping 2017 means more back to basics for the catering.
