We have all been on flights and no matter how pleasant the journey might have been, whenever someone mentions flight food we seem to frown upon the image. Airplane food is always associated with an image of cold and soggy food on pre-packaged plastic trays. The meals that are served on planes can hardly qualify as gourmet sustenance.
