Ua studiously digs to a new low.

I'm sure that many carriers will move towards the food packets being collected at the gate (All Day Deli Bag, anyone?)

The problem of aromas is a very real one when folks bring their own food on board. I recall when I was shuttling LHR~MUC for 18 months on Lufty, that they once let folks on to the Sunday evening (ex-LHR) with fast food from the terminal - the stink was ghastly and they were going to serve a snack anyway.

But even 'every day' aromas can be bad. Onl an early morning BD from LHR to ABZ in Club (about seven years ago I think). The carrier was promoting their wonderful breakfast with fresh filter coffee. The guy sitting next to me was telling me how fabulous the coffee was and how it was the best airborne coffee he had ever had etc. - and was waving the cup next to me. The smell was making me gag and I had to put the linen napkin over my nose to block the horrendous smell of coffee.

So I am rather in favour of bland old style British Rail sandwiches.
