Airline Food: The good, the bad and the ugly

That doesn't look at all bad for having been served on a plane. -

Not my experience. Today, I searched for pomfret and got results going back over 20 years. -
Today, I fancied me some tuna to go with my fresh 'real' wasabi, so I searched my food delivery app for 金枪鱼 (jīn qiāng yú) which is the Mandarin for tuna. To my momentary confusion, this image for a whole 'tuna' came up! Clearly, this is no tuna. What it is, is sloppy mislabelling by ignorant, undertrained employees in Walmart. Not the employees' fault. This specimen is the similarly sounding 金鲳鱼 (jīn chāng yú), golden pomfret, a fine fish but not even closely related to tuna. In the end, I bought some donkey leg meat instead, as you do in these circumstances.

TJ's "Everything but the Bagel" seasoning: Travel alert
liuzhou replied to a topic in Kitchen Consumer
As do a number of countries. -
Those I've seen contain fluorescent tubes. They are easily replaced and widely available.

Lemon chicken. Not "Chinese Lemon Chicken", a dish which I've never encountered in China - that is American. I marinated a cubed chicken breast in lemon juice and zest, garlic, and chilli for about two hours. This I then stir-fried, adding some Spanish black olives, Shaoxing wine and salt. Finished with some cilantro and culantro to wilt in the residual heat. Served with rice. Normally, I would use dark leg meat, but a breast was what I had.

Maybe someone suggested Lipton's! I don't know what kicked it off. It started in a private tasting room and by the time it became clear what was happening those involved had abandonded any semblance to coherent language and taken instead to grunts and gutteral moans.

I didn't see it being cooked but I'd say the prosciutto was cooked with the pizza but the arugula added afterwards to wilt in the residual heat. As I like it.

Yes. I've seen them here in China, Vietnam and Laos. Quite common. Never used one, though.

This, a table in a long gone tea shop in town, was a dugout canoe with a glass top. Inside was a bizarre collection of cultural revolution (1966-1976) paraphernalia. The whole place was weird and a massive punch-up broke out seconds after I took this photo. I fled. Punch-ups in bars are highly unusual in China, but in tea shops? Never! The place closed a month later.

It's not so wide. I think my dining room table (which I never dine from) is about the same, but less long. It doesn't usually have a river down the middle, either. Unless someone spills their soup!

Reviving this to say that if you are serious about your tea drinking, you require the appropriate table. I came across these "river tea tables" for sale today. You have a landscaped river scene running the length of the table and draining into what appears to be a bucket (I've only see these photographs from their advertising). They range in price from ¥900 to ¥10,000. That is the equivalent of $124 to $1375. The second picture is to the higher end of that scale, at around $900. All dollars shown are USD.

The best pizza I've had in recent years was in Vietnam, of all places. Prosciutto and arugula / rocket. I've eaten good pizza in Korea, too.

My father used to eat bread rolls with Cadbury's chocolate and Cheddar cheese. When he wasn't eating bread with cheddar and strawberry jam. He was a bit of a Philistine, though.
