That was a punishment for flying Y to HKG. As a DDFER we expect better 😀

Joke aside. I agree with you 100%. We have organizations for everything. Why isn't there an organization that caters an abundance of food for the hungry Jews? Or at least charge airlines cost price.
Rebshayalyinthesky.org

Maybe we should have a kosher airline food expo, invite airlines and those that are on a strict kosher diet, every caterer should have their best/expensive menu and worst cheapest menu, those that can't differentiate between best and worst should have a separate section.

Perri Spiegel, General Manager of Stogel Kosher Catering, based in Antwerp, explains:

“We offer two kinds of menus:  frozen, which is served on Delta, United, Brussels, Jet, out of Europe, just to name a few of our customers.  We receive great letters and reviews about these meals. They are tasty, and very presentable.  As a matter of fact, they are much better than the meals served out of the States.

Stogel should be embarrassed of themselves. "Ms. Spiegel told Kosher Today that the company was taking many steps to upgrade the meals and the presentation despite the disadvantages the company faces from limitations imposed by airlines." - I'll believe it when I see it.

What about an Instagram account where people submit the gross meals they're served and they get posted with tagging the airlines?

What a great idea! I just set up an instagram account https://www.instagram.com/kosher_airplane_food/ - Email your pics to meals@kosherairplanefood.com with details of the meal

Easier to just DM the picture and details to the account.

How much do the airlines pay for a serving of food?

Every airline sets their own budget for it.

Ouch, no wonder it's garbage!
Maybe we can get them to make an upgraded meal, that you can pay a fee for...

It already exists, it’s called BYOK meal.

Don't really have patience to make food, wrap it up so it doesn't spill all over my noise cancelling headphones, and balance my personal item properly so I don't get a mixed food salad upon opening it.
(Or buy the food and step 2 and 3 are still problems)
