Apropos chicken curry go to waste.
My FO was looking forward to his homemade curry , piping hot.
For some strange reason a lot of pilots were I work choose to use the Teck Log as a table, a hard plastic cover job.
That day the crew -coordination was not good . And as the Cabin Crew let go of the dish it started sliding towards the center pedestal.
In slow-motion, the Fo compensated with a hard right bank on the glass dish to avoid total avionic meltdown.
Now it was heading towards his crotch, which he deftly avoided by a hard left bank and nosedown with the Log as the dish promptly left and did a forward half Lomchewack or something like that and impacted the floor inverted.
Clean up operation continued well into the descend.
Nothing to do with helicopters , except maybe for the split second the dish auto-rotated inverted.
This all took place at 37 000 feet some were over France.
