Why do people always show dissatisfaction with plane meals when they arrive at the airport? Why don't international airlines invite chefs with better cooking skills to cook meals? Is it because we didn't have enough money to buy our own plane tickets, which made the plane meal inferior and more and more difficult to swallow? In fact, machine meals are often so difficult to swallow for the following reasons.
1, the aircraft cabin is in a low-pressure dry state.
When the plane took off, the inner cabin of the plane was actually in a low-voltage dry state, and it was not uncomfortable. Because the environment refers to low ambient humidity and high noise, all the tiny noises will be amplified, which makes tourists feel very uneasy.
Similarly, tourists' sense of taste and smell are also seriously damaged, and their perception of sweetness and salty taste is reduced, while their perception of strangeness, bitterness and sweetness will not change. When the sweetness and salty taste of a meal are reduced, other unpleasant smells will not change. Do you think this meal will be delicious? It's not delicious, so tourists just face these situations on the plane, and the food level of the plane meal is affected.
2. Preservation of machine meals
Although the airport is our common means of transportation now, the preservation of airplane meals is still a difficult problem. Aviation food is not made on the plane, but delivered to the plane after the production line on the ground is completed. Except for these private jets, of course. Generally speaking, civil airliners use food processed by fresh-keeping processors, which are heated at the airport and sent to tourists. Of course, they have bad taste.
3. Food is restricted
In order to make machine meals, there are also many restrictions on the ingredients of machine meals. You can't choose ingredients with strong taste. Food must be kept fresh, the cleanliness should be reduced to a minimum, the taste should not be too heavy, and it should suit your own taste as much as possible. In this way, while ensuring the safety of tourists eating machine meals, it is difficult to ensure the delicacy of machine meals. Several pots of water can't be used up. For safety reasons, the taste needs to be drained.
In addition to not using very strong ingredients, these flatulence-prone foods (such as lettuce and sweet potato) can't appear on the plane, which can easily cause bloating, stomach upset, diarrhea and other discomfort problems for people with weak stomachs, so these foods can be eliminated before designing machine meals.
Nowadays, machine meals often seem to be difficult to swallow. In fact, this is not because the chef who cooks machine meals is not very good at cooking, nor because you didn't pay enough for your plane ticket, or because of low-cost international airlines. On the contrary, in the environment of flying, machine meals only ensure the safety and environmental hygiene of ingredients, and there is really no way to master the taste. Everyone should just eat and play, or solve the problem of food and clothing.
