Inflight Gourmet

Everyone says airline food is crap. However in my experience, most of it, especially in business class or higher on international flights, it is usually decent. Tonights choice was grilled lamb with cilantro mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. All-in-all, it was a decent airline meal, but the mashed potatoes made me realize I should try throwing some cilantro into our instant potatoes next time we make them. It was a nice change, I thought. The asparagus left me with my usual question after eating asparagus…

Why does it make your pee smell so damn bad???? I don’t know of any other veggie that does that, but asparagus does it EVERYTIME! It is like taking penicillin. I enjoy a nicely prepared asparagus spear, but my god, why do I have to be reminded that I ate asparagus for at least a day after I ate it everytime I relieve myself????

I get to see how Qantas compares to American here in a couple hours…
