A modest proposal: System-wide turmeric ban
 

BA flies from and to several countries with proud curry cultures.I count in particular the chicken curries offered out of JNB amongst the few remaining glories of economy class catering — warming, aromatic, full of exciting spices. Unfortunately, these also include copious amounts of turmeric, as noticeable from the yellow coating on your hands after you've just lifted off the foil cover, about a third of which can be successfully transferred to your little paper napkin. 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.

Basically: I sure hope not!!

Turmeric is extremely good for your health, though.

But I agree, it can destroy clothes in an instant :D

Perhaps you need to carry some disposable gloves and a bib?

Actually, I sometimes do pack an oversized linen napkin when travelling coach.

It's the one scenario where I use an apron when cooking, and choose my top with care for the subsequent eating. ;)

NOT so easy when on an aircraft, I will admit.
I know not of which you speak!! :D

Hey, 'no pain, no gain'!

Leave your clothes in the sunlight and turmeric stains will go away. https://japantoday.com/category/feat...t-with-the-sun

They even have little fold out pelican pockets!

When I spill red wine on my clothing the wife complains.....I personally don't give a damn.

You could just wear black shirt, black trousers and black everything else (maybe black gloves) so that even if the stain doesn't wash out, it can't be seen :D

or wear something with the expectation you'd throw away.

its ok in Y, and i dont give a rats ... if im up front.

Red shirts for wine, black for Guinness ...

You need to switch to the screw top variety HIDDY....then she can't hear the pop of the third bottle being opened.
