It takes an awfully long time to descend from FL180 and climb back up there again. Probably best part of an hour, all in all. And the whole reason one is at FL180 in the first place is because of icing conditions below. A landing and a climb would not be a good idea at all.
Yes it is a cooked lunch sometimes but not cooked in the plane. We did try a calor gas BBQ in the back of the plane once but they are tricky. You have to get them just right. If the food gets charred, it is carcinogenic, you know. Anyway, a BBQ is a
man's job, and I have to be up front to keep an eye on the
autopilot.
