Emirates has decent-good food in cattle class. In business class it's as good as any restaurant.
Agreed. If you are in steerage on any airline-- then whatever you get is just going to be tolerable. Although in the cattle class on Air Canada to Paris-- it was not that bad.
Even on the domestic routings in First for American, I have really liked the food. I actually really like this little egg fluffy quiche thing they do.
Surprisingly, the food in cattle cabin on Delta's transatlantic routes beat the box lunch we got with first class train tickets on the TGV big time. You'd think a French company would have done better.

The last meal I had on a train was on the Eurostar from Paris to London. I had first class seats and the only thing palatable on the trip was a lemon creamy mouse thing. The rest? Ugh.
Doesn't look like your "all over the world" location is accurate.
Most airlines outside of US (and maybe Canada) offer free meals, including hot meals on 2+ hr domestic flights.

U.S. airlines are not the only ones with awful catering. While most catering put on our airplanes in Europe was fair to very good, 50 percent of what we got while flying in Africa a starving dog wouldn't want to eat it.

I wish I could artfully describe some of the disgusting meals I've had in coach on American carriers.
I can remember flying in the late 60's and early 70's and food taste fine. back then if you flew at supper time ;everyone on broad where serviced first class meals. I remember steaks with strawberry shortcake for desert was common.Flying then was nothing like now.

Delta has steaks and ice cream sundaes, which I'm happy to take, but I'm sure it isn't anything like the past.
I was looking at a picture of a Pan Am interior and was amazed how every man was wearing a suit and hat and every woman was in a fancy dress.
That, and the 747 was only 8 across seating, instead of 10.
Studies show that flying reduces our ability to detect certain flavors. However, some in-flight foods — such as curry and bloody Marys — do taste the same. Here's why.
The bland taste of airline food is a running joke among travelers. The lack of favor is often blamed on airlines cutting corners to save money, but there may be other factors at play.
It turns out there's science behind the bad taste of food at 30,000 feet.
What airlines serve food anymore unless you are in first class and I don't really buy the part about it tasting so bad anyway. We used to be lucky enough to fly first (not anymore) we did choose to upgrade not too long ago and the food was ok. I think more than cutting corners (they have done this with portion sizes) it has to do with preparation. An airplane isn't exactly equipted to offer gourmet dining, nor would anyone fly expecting it.
I think the article is way off base.
