Brassicas can smell pretty sulfurous both before and after digestion so I'm surprised they feature so heavily in airline meals.

You know one now, at least as a disembodied presence on FT. I will happily eat a whole cauliflower, or a whole broccoli, or a pound of Brussels sprouts, for dinner (when suitably cooked, of course).

Any recent experiences of the meal service in CW on the morning flight from JFK?

For those of us 'genetically blessed' with the bitter receptor TAS2R38, it can mean no choice.

Oh no. Looking at this just made me order Kosher meal for my LHR-YYZ flight this week. I usually find it too heavy (was served what looked like a whole lamb leg which was delicious but way too much).

I had the pork wrapped in pork. The pork elements were actually rather tasty. The potatoes were al dente.

that sort of implies it might have once been good wine.

im betting these are bulk wines not worth the expense of bottling to sell at retail,

you’ve given me hope. I have the same menu, making the ground hold more depressing as I read the food reviews of the on board menu after experiencing really poor food at Galleries First (other than the salad, and somewhat passable smoked salmon sandwiches).
