Find something else to be offended about today. It's just food. It has no feelings.

Tell that to all those lobsters who have given up their lives for us ..... :D

YUM. I'll be sure to think of them as I eat.

I'd worry that if no one eats something, DL will then always offer it in SCs to save money.

I seriously think a lot of people would be more than happy if the Sky Club served:

Scouting Your Space
-Cheez Whiz
-Ritz Crackers

Getting Comfortable
-Watergate Salad
-Rolled Oscar Mayer Bologna Stuffed With Yellow Mustard

Enjoying The Ambiance
-Tuna Noodle Casserole
-Cheeseburger Pie

Something Sweet to Send You On Your Way
-Tri-Colored Jello and Cool Whip Parfait

I think I threw up a little bit.

Saag paneer is delicious but what the SC is offering doesn't look so great. In fact most Indian restaurants don't do it justice.

Thank you, lamont
 
It is unbelievable to me how ignorant and prejudiced some of these postings are. Yes, guys, go back to eating your twinkies and hamburgers - those are real gourmet fare - for toddlers with no culinary savoir-faire.

Twinkies are the survival foodstuff for the zombie apocalypse... don't trifle with Twinkies.

There is a world of difference between saying "I don't like sushi" and the references to the EPA, it being pumped from the lavs, threats to bathrooms, farting, dogs running loose, and dysenteric cows.

It is my way of breaking out of my bubble, if only for a little while.

If Im in a skyclub or the equivalent in new delhi don't serve me a hamburger if im in the atl skyclub dont serve me indian food. Give me a different option. That is all.^

The no one eats enhancement which will make up the cost for waiving the ticket fee over the phone.:D

Something tells me that grits or boiled peanuts wouldn't be warmly embraced by most here if they found their way to the ATL SkyClub.

Honestly Indian food in air travel setting should come with enough warnings to non-Indians. Indian food may not score high marks for presentation but is tasty and Indians take pride in making sure guests enjoy their food, but it is hard to be King of John while you are travelling. A Friday night dinner at local restaurant is a OK, you have whole weekend to deal with it.

Spinach and Cheese, full of fibre and dairy, what could go wrong!!

Would you be good with Mexican food in the SC (I think they had some sort of Mexican dish recently)? I am actually curious as to your thinking here, not trying to be unnecessarily combative.

I wouldn't touch a hamburger in a New Delhi club either. Which would be highly unlikely anyways.

By that logic, the SkyClub should get rid of any cheese, nuts, green salads, most fruit, etc.
