Throw some meat pieces in to the soup.
Include some Morningstar chicken nuggets and hotdogs ( op may not notice the difference)
If the MLL had normal, cheap IKEA style hot dogs I’d be all over it.

The hold for such VIP cargo?! No sire Bob! Nothing but pancake J seats discarded by fellow travelers for such royalty

Perhaps we should have a leaderboard setup for the MLLs across the world! Who will claim top spot in the food category this week?

Does the LHR arrivals lounge still have bacon sandwiches? I've not been there since the move to T2.

I have read this Rouge/Max reply half a dozen times and tried to understand it but I just simply do not. Am I missing something or does the quip actually make zero sense whatsoever?

Carnivore = someone who only eats meat.

The implication I was making was that flying Rogue or on a 737MAX would turn anyone into a cannibal

its probably a good thing I tend not to eat anything before getting on flights... sitting on a plane for 9 or 10 hours with a stomach full of food, .... not for me

Not having meat options makes sense for AC. Vegetarians are far more likely to aggressive complain if there is even a hint of meat anywhere near their food. Instead of being perpetually badgered by alfalfa-loving advocates they adjust accordingly knowing there will be fewer complaints from people with balanced diets.

It isn't on the menu anymore, but one can order by special request :-)

The word "advocate" has a certain positive, even noble connotation. I don't believe it should appear in the same sentence as "alfalfa-loving".
