Flying from: Columbo to Male, November 2002
Aircraft type and class: airbus 320, first class on two class aircraft
Meal type: lunch - trout and smoked salmon, corn and potato salad, mouse-like desert in carmel sauce
Drink: a very well needed bloody mary. best thing on the plate.
Comments: "Okay, the passenger next to me had a tick which made him snort, and sniffle non-stop (think felix unger in the odd couple). Hard to deal with lunch with that kind of action going on. Anyway, why do airlines use smoked salmon so much? Is it really a luxury food? Actual knives served but not really needed. Lovely attendants on this carrier."
Rating: 6, based entirely on the bloody mary.
