Good food is not hard to find in the UK though as long as you head for French, Indian, Chinese, Iranian, Italian, Japanese...

British food is an oxymoron.

On the other side, in the UK I have had some of the best ethnic food in my life.

Perhaps your potato looked more like this?

The worst LH 'food' I had did't have was also between MAN and MUC.

Well having had ARN as my home airport for many years, a triangle sandwich + a 20cl coffee and a small bottle of juice will set you back around €15. That is the equivalent of lunch for 2 people in central Stockholm. Flying through ARN on a regular basis would essentially mean filing for personal bankruptcy if one had to eat there all the time.

Maybe if you know your way around Stockholm. 15€ was approx the cost for one coffee and a small piece of princess pie on central stockholm...
Not lunch for two...

Many restaurants offer the daily special or "Dagens Lunch" which is usually around 65 to 80 SEK (€7,5 to €10) and includes salad, bread, coffee and drink. There are some decent places in the city, one only has to look.

But true as you say, many of the cafés in Old Town charge horrendous overprices. Heck I once recall paying 120 SEK (€14) for a meat pie at one of those places. Turns out, the [microwave]pie came from the supermarket…

A properly made dinner of roast beef and Yorkshire pudding with all the trimmings is a thing of beauty and, not wishing to blow my own trumpet, family and friends practically come to blows to get a seat at our dining room table when I'm cooking Sunday roast.

At least that is usually the reason my colleagues and I tend to eat on the aircraft.

Ohhhh , how busy we all are.

Some archive LH short haul Y class "meals".

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8459/8...1783bfdb_z.jpg
Snack and drinks on HAM-MUC. Quite adequate for a 1hr domestic flight.

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8450/8...76e3dc2a_z.jpg
Cherry pie on MUC-FCO. Suitable type of snack for an afternoon flight, and the purser was kind enough go serve me seconds. The pie tasted nice, though it contained way too many E-numbers.

Breakfast on HAM-ARN. Once again nothing to complain about. For somebody who's flown SAS, you'd really come to appreciate the food that Lufthansa serves you on these short haul hops.

The pie is a regular thing on VIE-DUS, I've got it served every week since July.

Come on now.

I don't think anyone is that busy.

There are a large number of factors that come into play- traffic, delayed trains, gas stations that take a long time to fill the car, massive security queues, checkin machines that don't work- it is not a matter of how busy anyone is (including me)- it is the overall entire travel process which is far from seamless and stressfree.

Not to mention the fact that very often we are not at the airport during mealtimes. Sometimes the offering on the plane is the only chance I get to eat at all between leaving a client site and getting home.

Barcelona-Munich
 
I was wondering if Lufthansa would serve a Sandwich on a noon 2 hour flight. I had the potato salad from Rome-Munich this past April on a noon flight. It wasn't all that bad just a bit small but hey I'm not complaining.
