Deep fat flying...
I subscribe to a service which sends a "good business idea" each day. This turned up yesterday, thought I'd open the door, toss in the grenade, retire...

Welcome to Day 826
Replace regular airline food with famous brands of fast food. This would allow passengers to choose their favourite burgers, fries and shakes. This type of food is tailor-made to be prepared and served from a plane's galley. KFC, Pizza Hut and Burger King could all take to the sky.

I work on private business jets and had requests from pax for their favourite burgers, pizzas etc. from fast food companies. These products do not reheat sucessfully believe me. They are only good to eat when they have been freshly made and eaten soon afterwards.
I think there is a trend anyway these days to eat less on aircraft and more healthily.
Keep coming with the ideas though airline food could definately do with some renovation and a bit of sparkle.

Alitalia also had a MD80 sponsored by McD, but I don't believe McD service was ever offered on board ... haven't seen it around now for a while!
Just need to ask ... how a McD or a KFC will taste after it came on board before u board and after it has cooled down and maybe after it has been heated again on A/C ovens???
Just a curiosity

I have thought this for years, take pizza for example; cooked from fresh in the oven!
in the same vain, why have M&S not worked with BA utilising their ready meals, after all they are chilled and easily re-heated!! They could also market their finger food in the "raid the larder". Good for BA good for M&S!

RE: Reheated Big Mac and Fries!
After a recent catering strike at one of our outstations I ran into the terminal McD's and stocked up for the crew! Reheated in the oven all I can say is FANTASTIC....if you like soggy burger buns, rubberised cheese and cardboard flavoured meat pattys!!! Not too different from the real thing I guess!!!
