I only ever got the white box of doom when travelling as pax on 130's, VC10 etc. However new culinary delights were revealed when travelling with the E3's. It was almost palatable.
I saved up my air miles and travelled back from Oz business class last year on SIA. I was chatting to my steward who remembered the RAF being at Changi, in fact his father worked there in some capacity or other. I was telling him about the 130 and 10 and he asked me what the food was like as he set my table for a starter of duck breast and plum dressing with a champagne aperitif. 'Much like this' I said. 'Gosh, you guys were the best' he replied with admiration.
Who was I to etc etc...
