Well maybe it's not allowed to be distributed to the poor but my Qantas trolley dolly friends regularly bring the left over cheeses from first class when they come for dinner while on layover in London. Beautiful King Island brie and Tasmanian blue cheeses and other stuff you just can't buy in the UK. I don't thhink it really counts as theft, in a moral sense, if it was going to get chucked out anyway.
