Also interesting that this "sophisticated" food is found only in F SC...why only baked beans and chicken fingers in E SC?

It also racist to make all sorts of derogatory remarks about Indian food causing people to have digestive issues. Personally I would feel much better after saag paneer (simple spinach and cheese with spices) than an airline cheeseburger or nasty first class sandwich, both with cheap processed meat.

But most of all I can't get over the fact that there are people on this board who are so proud of the vast amounts of international travel that they do but have not been able to expand their palate or their respect for other cultures. THAT is what makes me want to throw up!

Guess what folks, Delta is an international airline and that means that it has a wildly diverse customer base. I for one don't eat pork, beef or gluten. I don't expect the SC to meet my needs all the time, but it sure is nice that they rotate what they serve so that sometimes I can eat the food.

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.

Well, even if you put together a dish that included the most common foods purchased in America (chicken and potatoes, in case you were wondering) you'd still have the issue that it wouldn't comprise a majority. And even then, how do you prepare said chicken and potatoes? Does everyone buying potatoes like them roasted, or are there some that like them as fries or mashed or baked? Does everyone buying chicken like it roasted? With sauce or without? Stuffed with cheese (mozzarella being the #1 cheese, in case you were curious), or not? Thigh, leg, breast, or wing?

Look, you don't like Indian food. I get it. But no need to puff it up as some consensus around what the "majority of people" like when no such thing likely exists. At best, you might be able to get to a dish that the plurality of people kind of like. But majority agreement and enjoyment? Doubtful.

The majority could be 10 or 20 percent doesnt have to be 50 percent

but delta bases their decisions off of $$$ not to be inclusionary. See msp economists reasoning above and you will find the likely answer. Delta doesnt care about a food roation utopia.

I love greek and hungarian food. It doesnt mean random greek and hungarian dishes should be found in a skyclub.

There is no need to be so disrespectful of other cultures. Saag paneer is a classic dish in South Asia, and its appearance is similar to that of creamed spinach. Let's promote a more inclusive and culturally aware environment on this forum.
