Lunch - Braised chicken with French beans and mashed potatoes; "oriental salad"; chocolate cake (Menu Card)

(no drink)

"On this 7 1/2 hour transatlantic flight we were actually given a hot meal because competition from foreign carriers demands it. That said, the potatoes were clearly instant, the beans were slightly shriveled and overcooked, and the braised chicken just edible. As for the salad, the sweet and sour dressing was both too sweet and too sour. And the snowpeas were at least a week past their prime, while the chocolate cake was dry and virtually inedible. Compared with what we would have received on KLM, which we usually fly, this was a very unpleasant dining experience."
