Sausage Breakfast

Two pork sausages with nine miniture carrots, with a small round herb and cheese omelette awash with gravy.

A hard brown wholemeal roll. A tub of Becel butter. A faircake. A tub of Karpalojuoma juice. A pot of milk, sugar, pepper and salt.

A lovely breakfast, which is probably totally unhealthy, but which tastes great. This is very much a breakfast of the old school, before airlines started doing away with warm food, and arrived piping hot. Even the omelette worked well, although it was an unusual combination.

To follow though, the fairycake was just too odd. Alas Finnair have joined Singapore airlines in serving these up. And the roll was very hard. CDG to HEL lunch Aug 2004

Chicken Noodles Lunch

Chunks of chicken, in noodles with miniture carrots washed with Soy Sauce.

A hot roll (with poppy seeds) and a pot of butter. A tub of water. Milk and sugar.

This is pretty good, for just a short flight around Europe. The chicken is lovely and tender, and despite the rather odd addition of carrots in the mix of noodles, it works well.

The roll is worthy of particular mention. It has loads of flavour, was hot, and yet also arrived wonderfully soft. If only all airlines did them this way.
