I love the Virgin brand, I really do which is why I continue to use it despite a series of unfortunate incidents over the last few years.
Ironically, by the end of the flight I would have gladly paid over a thousand rupees for a single biscuit following the culinary journey of hell I was subjected to at thehands of your corporation.
Look at this Richard. Just look at it: [see image 1, above].
I imagine the same questions are racing through your brilliant mind as were racing through mine on that fateful day. What is this? Why have I been given it? What have I done to deserve this? And, which one is the starter, which one is the desert?
You don’t get to a position like yours Richard with anything less than a generous sprinkling of observational power so I KNOW you will have spotted the tomato next to the two yellow shafts of sponge on the left. Yes, it’s next to the sponge shaft without the green paste. That’s got to be the clue hasn’t it. No sane person would serve a desert with a tomato would they. Well answer me this Richard, what sort of animal would serve a desert with peas in: [see image 2, above].
I know it looks like a baaji but it’s in custard Richard, custard. It must be the pudding. Well you’ll be fascinated to hear that it wasn't custard. It was a sour gel with a clear oil on top. It’s only redeeming feature was that it managed to be so alien to my palette that it took away the taste of the curry emanating from our miscellaneous central cuboid of beige matter.
So lets peel back the tin-foil on the main dish and see what’s on offer.

Is it meat or cake?
“crime scene cookie”. Very nice.
the best in-flight meal I ever had was on singapore airlines..United’s weren’t bad, Delta’s sucked..
What does it smell like?
That’s hilarious.
With Obama getting rid of the "Don't ask, don't tell" rule for the military, it had to find a new home somewhere. Now it is the policy of Virgin Airline's food service department when dealing with their menu. Share and Enjoy.
How could the flight attendants tell which course they were serving?
“If you don’t eat yer meat, you can’t have any pudding. How can you
have any pudding if you don’t eat yer meat?”
That e-mail is a scream. I loved the part about “if my parents knew I had started dessert before the main course, that would be the least of my worries...”
As someone who flies a lot, that looks pretty good.
It's nothing like that.
It is funny and the least Richard could do is buy the man a really good meal after that crap he served him on the plane.
I grew up in a Scottish/Irish household. TV dinners were prized. I’ll eat anything.
Scots/German here - my fondest memory is of joining the Army, and discovering the mess hall.
How indeed? This meal apparently blows right past the meat and pudding conundrum and extends it to a new and somewhat frightening level. How can you have your meat if it IS pudding? How? Indeed.
Irish/German here --- my fondest memory of joining the Army was finding the mess hall as well ...
... closely followed by finding the Class VI store.
