The airline food

My experiences started on the plane. For the very first time I flew on Aeroflot. Ashrita made the booking, and he asked for me to be served Asian vegetarian food. When it was time for the evening meal, they gave me rice, four round pieces of cucumber and two pieces of squash. There was one bowl full to the brim with leaves, and on top were three smaller than the smallest tomatoes. Then there was one piece of bread with a small piece of cheese that was very good. Needless to say, when I finished eating, I was still hungry!

We left New York at ten o'clock at night. About midnight they served the food. For breakfast the following morning they served me the same food, so I did not have any inspiration to eat.

But today, flying back to New York, it was diametrically the opposite. This time the food was super-excellent. Perhaps Ashrita told them not to make Asian food. There was very nice rice and two kinds of vegetables, prepared almost in the Indian way. Before that, they served a small piece of lasagna, very nice yoghurt and a box of raisins. Everything was excellent. For the second meal also they gave me the same excellent food, and I ate a little.
