Whether at a restaurant or on an airline, I have never been a fan of snooty-snoot-snoot menus full of odd, obscure, uppity foods of which few normal people have ever heard. Is the goal to make the premium cabin passenger feel like some unsophisticated low-class peon whose "proper place" is a middle seat in row 73 and who ought to be served a bag of pork rinds for their meal?
