Imagine calling a meal Bland....a not very appetizing name.
I took one look at it - it looked bland and vegetarian - and declined.
Luckily the normal meal was poached salmon and cold potatoes and it was nice and fresh.
Crew offered to file a complaint on my behalf but I declined as I was happy enough with the normal meal.
Later I was asked if I was sure I didn't want it as someone in Go actually wanted to buy it..... bon appetit.
Bland is one of the normally available special meals on most if not all airlines. Indeed considering what the low cabin pressure and dry air normally does to flavours, it does make one wonder who orders this in the first place. Maybe pulling a prank on a friend where you happen to know their PNR?
