Dinner
Vegetable curry/rice/spinach, salad, carrot pudding, yoghurt, bread roll, crackers.

Red Wine (French)

The plane was so old, it didn't have any TV screens in the seats, therefore no entertainment options. Lucky the food was good. Air India are very generous with drinks. My initial gin and tonic was freepoured from the bottle, almost filling the plastic cup, before the tonic. When ordering wine they gave me two mini-bottles at once (cheap French red). Either they picked me as an alcoholic, or they assumed a second order and chose not to waste time. Either way, I was completely trashed by the time I began eating, however I do remember the vegetable curry being quite spicy. Not vindaloo spicy, but enough to start ordering beer. Curry always tastes good reheated the next day so it's an ideal airline food. The salad, with chick peas and some greens was tasty, and the sweet shredded carrot pudding was curiously appetising. There was even a mini poppadom. Not a bad meal. Better than BA rubbish.
