I never seem to be able to consume any of these curries in the crowded space of an economy seat with the utensils on offer without ruining at least one item of clothing. So my question is, could turmeric not just be cut out of airline food recipes? Although I do include it myself when making my own curries at ground level, its contribution to the flavour is definitely on the subtle side. This would be one single instance of BA cost cutting that I would actually approve of.

Of course, they often get used for cleaning around the seat, augmenting the hot towel wipes!!!
