Whats a pilots favourity food?

[Keef]

Hello Sam!

I'm the bloke who used to live over the road in Llithfaen...

As they said: gourmet food isn't essential. All-day breakfast and equivalents - bacon sarnie, sausage sarnie, hot dog, burger - is what it takes. Mustard is essential for some.
Tea and coffee, and cold fizzies for hot weather.

Cake and sticky buns are a nice add-on, but must be fresh.

If the caterers can offer that AND some upmarket food as well, that's excellent. But don't fall for the "posh lunches, so no all-day brekkie" trick.

See you on August 19th - I hope there'll be food for the Studes Fly-In!

All day brekkie, breakfast baps. The folk in Haverfodwest seem to have gotten the menu about right.

Pardon my typically American ignorance of the rest of the world, but what for the love of Wilbur Wright is a sarnie?

A 'sarnie' is a sandwich.

Of course it is, whatever was I thinking!

Dare I put my head above the parapet and say the healthy option might go down well?

6 Oysters with a sprinkle of lemon and a dash of Tabasco. Followed by either a whole seabass with a rocket and parmesan salad or a whole grilled lobster with truffle mayonaise and the same salad. Coffee and mints.

All available at Christies in Guernsey after a quick 1:20 flight down and a short cab ride.

Transport cafe style grease is not my idea of flying out for lunch!

Where ever possible I head for the CI or continent for my lunch trips. It makes the non flyers happier as well!!

I don't want to know where you got crabs........

[benhurr]

Ah Haverfordwest faggotts, mushy peas chips and gravy - fond memories.

Leicester or Netherthorpe for all day brekkie.

Guernsey or Ostend for Oysters and posh nosh (and fuel and fags)

I want my aeroplane back and bin my proper flying job

Proper suet pudding like me granny used to make...

OK I am hungry now

Well..... not from the Oxford English Dictionary

The crab still tasted nice, though

I think the key is not to use standard supermarket toot. Instead use local farm produce, local veg, local salad.

Ban microwaves, especialy for baked tatoes...i mean how can it be a backed tatty if it is nuked?

My list:

1) Steaks
2) Burgers (not 2% meat type product 98% scrotum, flem, dandruff, floor sweepings)
3) Fish
4) Seafood platter
5) Grilled Chicken
6) Lamb
7) Salads (get a salad cook book, dont just bung a bit of green stuff a tomato and a bit of cucmber on a plate)
8) Home made lasagne

Tatties need to be real tatties hand peeled and chopped, not smash or aunt bessies frozen roasties (which are actualy deep fried)

I can go on forever.

I like the food at Compton Abbas and Old Buckenham. A nice mixture of all day breakfast, nice burgers & salad (and chips), freshly cooked omelettes and salad plus Lasagne and salad and a few other daily specials.

I don't know if you've visited either of these airfields but they attract as many aviation enthusiasts by car as they do by air and always seem busy. This must mean that the restaurant has some customers when the weather isn't great for flying.

Nice toilets and pleasant surroundings also make a difference.

Unless you are North of Lat 52 30 and South of Lat 55 00; in which case it's a butty.

Personally, I don't hold with all this foreign food. Give me a Lamb Madras every time.

[aerobatic_dude]

Must say, anytime i'm in Cork ( IE ) I must go to subway. Otherwise I wont be happy on the way home and i'll sulk if there's a xwind.

[maggioneato]

I've just thought on about the restaurant that used to be upstairs. That used to be so busy we had to book a table. Week end carvery would be excellent, but a lot of extra work. Is it even usable any more? Great view of all the thuds and goes.

[Kolibear]

We just been to The Crab & Lobster. Now theres an eaterie that lives up to expectation.

I think that the key lies in offering a good selection - the all-day brekkie, on a plate or in a sarnie; home made cakes rather than pre packed slices; jacket spud or cold meats & cheese and salad.

[GullWing]

sounds great

got to agree with everyone on the all day brekkie/curry/sarnies (not together of course!)

Just hope I get the PPL quickly so I can come all the way down the coast from Hawarden to sample your finest! Sounds like a good excuse for some brunch on a sunday!

Best of luck with it

Spam, Spam, Chips, Beanz and Spam, for any good flying circus. Plenty of beanz, nothing like the wind behind you on a long flight!

[Jinkster]
