Last year, I flew on AirFrance, Delta, Aeroflot, LOT Polish and Pakistani Airlines. No matter how bad AA's food is, it still is like attending Le Cordon Bleu cooking school compared to the other airlines.
AirFrance - the steak looked and tasted like horsemeat left over from WWII.
Delta - an herbed chicken breast that had the texture and taste of an ice hockey puck
Aeroflot - a fish dish that smelled like a dumpster next to a Chinese restaurant in my area.
LOT Polish - a foul beef dish with broccolli and an oily brown sauce that had the aroma of vomit.
Pakistani Airline - the nadir of dining. The foul smelling cabin should lead PA to rename their coach product "Breaking Wind." The food was some orange colored sauce with a hard boiled egg and a chicken leg. And the skin and fat had seperated from the bone and was floating on the surface. The bone was at the bottom. Yummy!
