Reviving this year old thread. Apparently there was some guy who was mad for being served raw satay on a flight from Bali as reported by The Sun's appalling excellent journalism and later by Live and Let's Fly:

https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/7030...lacement-food/

He connected to heathrow and didn't eat anything and is angry for not being given any compensation or replacement food(??? - he refused food and want replacement food?)

“I replied and told them that I was disgusted I hadn’t been offered any kind of compensation, and they said they would check if it was possible.

“They never came back to me after that. I tweeted them again to follow up but I got no reply.”

Jamie said: “I cannot believe I wasn’t offered any kind of compensation or replacement food on a very long journey.

“I missed out on three meals in total on my flights as I was too worried to eat Malaysian’s food again."
Notice that he didn't eat it and didn't get any food poisoning.

Interestingly, I recounted being served the same satay between PEN and KUL in J, and didn't quite realise that part of the chicken meat had a purple-ish hue until after I ate a few sticks, having drowsed the sauce to the satay. I didn't get food poisoning or anything, and I wouldn't say that I have a very strong stomach because I don't.

The supposedly raw satay I had didn't quite feel or taste raw, I know because I've accidentally eaten raw chicken once (which was a horrible experience). It had a very slight chew though I attributed that to the fat. Needless to say, I stayed on the safe side and didn't continue eating, though I didn't feel any effects after eating that. Though now, come to think of it, I kind of think that the chicken may have been smoked or something?
