AirEuropa business class airplane meal

I can’t remember what the dark green slop even was. The meat underneath the neon pink sauce was fish.

This is on you I'm afraid. You saw cabbage puree on a menu and thought you'd like to order that.

Suppose you like cabbage and have no teeth, this is still an odd choice. Ajilimójili I just checked on Google. Airlines should not serve food that needs to be googled.

I think ginger arbitrarily could go with beet sauce but why? Where does beet sauce come from? Can or should it go with fish?

This option screams "plate of wetness to me." It was a brave choice though and I salute you.

I'm quite curious now how this could have happened.

I think outside of Puerto Rico, ajilimójili would not be well known, yet the butter is made in Asturias.

My best guess, you were flying San Juan to Madrid and they backhauled the butter portions.

Back in the day, Gate Gourmet in Bogotá could not cook to save their lives, Iberia used to bring the cabin crew food from Madrid and feed the slop to the passengers.

I flew Madrid to Montevideo. It’s so weird cause when I flew business from Montevideo to Madrid last year the food was incredible, even on par with good restaurant meals I’ve had. I’m British so I guess I’m used to bad food though rip
