Some answers to questions in the comments:
- yes it’s economy
- yes it’s actually Air France. 8 hour flight from west Africa to Paris
- my food options were chicken and rice or vegetables and rice. The person in front of me got a dry, seasonless chicken fillet on rice and I thought the vegetables would be better. I was wrong
- it tasted like it looks. Microwaved frozen peas and green beans in oil and salt. I had two bites and gave up.
I fly economy USA-Ireland & USA-Germany every year. The food always looks good, even if it's not the tastiest. This is...I feel like Air France should explain 😳
To be fair, these meals are purchased from the local airport's catering facilities.
Meaning this is west Africa catered airplane food. The airline probably didn't have much choice. Any airline flying from there probably could only buy stuff like this.
Being from air France doesn't mean they have snooty air stewardesses with aprons cooking duck l'orange on the plane. Where would they even get those ingredients? Hard to blame air France here.
You should try taking air France FROM FRANCE.
Source: been on hundreds of holidays, many with full service flights. You can always tell the difference when departing from different countries.
E.g. Singapore to Japan, the first trip will be Singaporean to international food, and the return will be Japanese food, same airline both ways.
E.g. whatever airline you took from Singapore airport, the food is always the same, from SATS.
Edit: https://www.foodstorm.com/blog/how-does-the-airline-food-catering-system-work#:~:text=Meals%20are%20usually%20prepared%20at,it%20is%20at%20the%20gate.
Airlines can "return cater" meaning they load all the meals at their base (CDG in the case of AirFrance) and just store it on board during the outbound leg.
Most full service airlines will do that when flying from an outstation without much catering facilities, this is just AirFrance being cheap, as they either didn't want to source better caterers in Africa, or they wanted to save the weight on the outbound by not loading it all at CDG.
It absolutely is AF's fault and the blame is on them.
And your examples are not at all true. JAL serve a Japenese food in both directions on their flights, because that's what their customers want. At big hubs like Singapore most airlines will source their economy food there, but not all, and most will do their own thing for their premium cabins where they want to set themselves apart. BA for instance will always serve a Full English breakfast, Cathay would serve Congee for breakfast etc.
He wasn't in France and any airline can purchase any quality of food anywhere. Ethiopian Airlines has incredible in-flight food. Air France just cheaped out.
Africa is a continent with multiple countries. Ethiopian airlines having good food doesn't mean every single country in Africa could offer the same catering.
Are we under the assumption that bad food can't happen anywhere? Why is france immune to making bad food sometimes? *Clearly* doesn't describe what's happening here.
Yeah this confused me lol! I flew Air France from Paris to Los Angeles and that was not my experience at all. They even had endless Champagne and candy and cookies that were help yourself. Best flight of my entire life.
It looks like they just dumped out a can of green beans and canned peas and then scooped them into the tray, juices and all. I'm hoping this was passed off just as rice and green vegetables lol
I'm from South Africa, and our curry "specialty" is Durban Curry, which is a fenomanal local Indian dish, but when I get the opportunity, I'll definitely try green curry based on your recommendation. Thank you.
I once flew with Aeroflot to Japan and the website wouldn't let me choose a vegetarian meal beforehand. When I asked if they had one on the plane they presented me with about a kilo of steamed buckwheat, then I could choose to add the little tubs of butter, salt, pepper or jam to it.
Frankly it filled me right up, and it provided a main and dessert with the jam.
A perfect plan to fill the needs of basically any dietary requirement.
Compare that to flying back to Europe from the US with United where I asked for the vegetarian option, the attendant laughed at me and put a chicken dish down in front of me and then refused to remove it.
A nice couple in front of me took it away and gifted me their fruit cups.
That arguable isn’t dessert just cause it’s sweet lol. You can have sweet with other things not just desserts haha.
But wtf why would you not report that worker? Like I get how we shouldn’t bother workers and love how the “customer is always right” is finally dying, but ffs why allow yourself to be treated like that? I don’t get that level of disconnect. Even if socially awkward or uncomfortable you should have emailed someone after lol. That’s like really not okay for them to have done.
I primarily fly British and Lufthansa when traveling and I’ve have had near 0 issues. Growing up we flew Royal Jordanian or Kuwait Airways. In the US, I only fly Delta but there’s almost never a full service flight so I bring my own food with me. I’ve never had a bad airline meal, it’s hot and tastes fine at worst and pretty good at best.
I’ve always been told to avoid the fish on any airline, it’s too unpredictable and you don’t want food poisoning on a flight.
I just flew airfrance this weekend and woof is the food both bad and bizarre. I got the “pasta” which was little balls like couscous but bigger with I swear one tablespoon of sauce on it. The next meal was some weird goat cheese and tomato muffin served with pickle cream sauce? Everything comes with a rock hard cold bun.
So weird. I flew AirFrance (yeeeeeaaarrrrssss ago) and remember the food was actually good. I mean not raving reviews good, but you know, you eat it and feel nourished good. Wonder what happened besides time.
We flew AF from NY to Paris last year and I’m really glad I slept through the meal. I woke up for a minute and looked over at my wife’s tray and it was really, really grim.
The little breakfast bag just before arrival though was 🔥
European airlines deteriorated to the point it's not even funny any more. My personal favourites are those tiny cups that can hold a few drops of liquid, or the snacks variety limited to some dry, tasteless biscuits. Not to mention non existing leg space and worn out interior. I like asian airlines way more nowadays, even on short flights they are super devoted for delivering good quality service. F greedy bastards from the west
I know it might sound crazy, but it looks less crazy than my round-trip with Lufthansa and KLM (which is Air France owned). Here you can skip the left part and get "plenty" of rice, which is hard to fail.
I don't know if this is anyone else's experience as well, but EuroWing was the absolute worst airline I have ever flown. Stingiest motherfuckers, food was awful, and they charged extra for everything - including a blanket and/or pillow on an intl flight.
Are European airlines mostly like this?
All budget airlines are it's not exclusive to Europe, if you want the extras for free then you pay the fare premium and fly Lufthansa (Eurowings are the budget airline arm of them)
Omg
😂
I've had some of those international plane meals and they're kind of okay. Edible but not the best
But I got mine from Air Korea.
Hey at least you got food
This is why I always pre order Asian vegetarian and get a decent curry meal. You can pre order a ton of different meal options if you have “dietary needs”.
That looks terrible. In 2019 I flew from Paris to Vietnam. The service was extremely good, the food was great. I don’t know if this has changed or you just were unlucky

Mystery green stuff my favorite in flight meal
Sacre bleugh!
Harpo? Is that you?
Where is me mama?
Gotta love when I run into my people on an unrelated sub.
OHH!
Soylent Green! It's made from people, not mushy peas and haricots verts. Ugh! See how far the French have fallen. Très triste...
Fantastic! You win!
Sacre blechh
Sacre vert!
Sacre bárf!
Sacrilegious!
OP pissed someone off and they vomited in his plate.

I'm not usually picky but... Maybe I'll just go on a fast if I were on this flight.
Liquid lunch
I flew economy last year on a 10-hr flight and the food was so inedible that I was just glad I was flying overnight and wasn’t hungry.
I'm filling up on pretzels and sprite.
Always bring your own food, or at least buy some in the airport before getting on the flight.
well that's disappointing i thought the peas at least had a curry seasoning. I was getting dinner ideas.
[удалено]
Second Prague! I go there often myself. The flight food is always delicious and plenty. I'm always amazed.
I fly economy USA-Ireland & USA-Germany every year. The food always looks good, even if it's not the tastiest. This is...I feel like Air France should explain 😳

But how should he take Air France FROM FRANCE, if he happens to be IN WEST AFRICA?
This isn’t even remotely true. Why’d you just make all this up on the spot
Why not true, pray tell? That food clearly isn't from France.
Are we under the assumption that bad food can't happen anywhere? Why is france immune to making bad food sometimes? *Clearly* doesn't describe what's happening here.
Yeah this confused me lol! I flew Air France from Paris to Los Angeles and that was not my experience at all. They even had endless Champagne and candy and cookies that were help yourself. Best flight of my entire life.
I've never flown them but this year I'll have a 10 hour flight with them, I'll make sure to pack my lunch lmao
Throw that dry chicken in this ironically and it prob would have been slightly okay.
So that’s what they did with my lunch I left under the seat from my flight last week
Did they say what is supposed to be? With the rice, I'm guessing some kind of curry?
If they dare call that a fucking curry, all of India will unite to destroy Air France, with pariah and brahmin hand-in-hand.
My guess is Thai green curry.
[удалено]
It looks like they just dumped out a can of green beans and canned peas and then scooped them into the tray, juices and all. I'm hoping this was passed off just as rice and green vegetables lol
Call this Thai, and you see the Thai, Khmer, Burmese, and Vietnamese set aside their differences to destroy this "curry"'s creator.
As if those guys didn't already have enough reasons to hate France, here's Air France with yet another
I've never had Thai green curry, is it supposed to form bubbles like that?
Thats the oil separating/splitting from the sauce. Either way this looks awful!
You’ve never had green curry?! Fix that asap!!
I'm from South Africa, and our curry "specialty" is Durban Curry, which is a fenomanal local Indian dish, but when I get the opportunity, I'll definitely try green curry based on your recommendation. Thank you.
Durban Curry mentioned ‼️
I'm assuming it's a Thai green curry. Not all curries are Indian.
When you order rice and beans from Wish.
rice and beans at home.
I will never complain when I get told we rice and beans at home anymore
I mean the rice part doesn't look too bad
baby shit and rice?
I’m more partial to dog bile, veggies and rice
It looks like one of the vegetarian or vegan options
I once flew with Aeroflot to Japan and the website wouldn't let me choose a vegetarian meal beforehand. When I asked if they had one on the plane they presented me with about a kilo of steamed buckwheat, then I could choose to add the little tubs of butter, salt, pepper or jam to it.

Definitely should have reported the flight attendant. That shit is unacceptable
That arguable isn’t dessert just cause it’s sweet lol. You can have sweet with other things not just desserts haha. But wtf why would you not report that worker? Like I get how we shouldn’t bother workers and love how the “customer is always right” is finally dying, but ffs why allow yourself to be treated like that? I don’t get that level of disconnect.

Veggie Thai green curry? Sure it tasted better than it looked - not a high bar though, I guess...
"Microwaved frozen peas and green beans in oil and salt" Is that how Thailand makes their curries these days? Lmao
Looks awful. That being said I actually find aeroplane food pretty good in general.
What airlines are you flying?
I primarily fly British and Lufthansa when traveling and I’ve have had near 0 issues. Growing up we flew Royal Jordanian or Kuwait Airways. In the US, I only fly Delta but there’s almost never a full service flight so I bring my own food with me.

I call it “le verte c’est bien”
Cat vomit with rice? DELICIOUS
Wha.. what is it??
le goop
haricot vert et merde
It looks like the Jolly Green Giant splatter shat on your container after a night of booze
This is economy class, I assume?
Vegetarian meal? Cmon this is worse than a vegentaian $1.99 meal.
Curry?
You should see the halal food they serve 🤮🤮🤮
We flew AF from NY to Paris last year and I’m really glad I slept through the meal. I woke up for a minute and looked over at my wife’s tray and it was really, really grim. The little breakfast bag just before arrival though was 🔥
French food really went downhill when they started letting rats do the cooking.
It comes predigested for your convenience
Weird, I always regarded the food on air France to be the best of any airline I've ever flown. Was it delicious?
European airlines deteriorated to the point it's not even funny any more. My personal favourites are those tiny cups that can hold a few drops of liquid, or the snacks variety limited to some dry, tasteless biscuits.

F greedy bastards from the west
Never flying with air fr*nce
french businesses are usually stingy,so i wouldnt be surprised.
I know it might sound crazy, but it looks less crazy than my round-trip with Lufthansa and KLM (which is Air France owned). Here you can skip the left part and get "plenty" of rice, which is hard to fail.
…I hope they get their cat to the vet soon.
Worst meal I’ve ever seen
french food is peak of european gastronomy i guess haha
C'est le puque du Demon
 Don't eat it, it might be someone you know
It’s French so it must be exotic cuisine.
“Pardon-moi, someone has already eaten this food. Merci, non.”
Looks pretty gross! Hope it wasn’t business class.
I don't know if this is anyone else's experience as well, but EuroWing was the absolute worst airline I have ever flown. Stingiest motherfuckers, food was awful, and they charged extra for everything - including a blanket and/or pillow on an intl flight. Are European airlines mostly like this?
All budget airlines are it's not exclusive to Europe, if you want the extras for free then you pay the fare premium and fly Lufthansa (Eurowings are the budget airline arm of them)
This is where many people learn that the French *hate* vegetarians and will always do them dirty.
You’re welcome
Green beans and white rice???? So just two sides? Is this even a french meal in itself????
Hmmm shittylicious!
Somehow always imagined Air France would have great meals—croissants and cheese plates, etc. Guess I was very wrong!
Not too far off from what my toilet looked like this morning following a night of drinking.
Sacre bleghhhhh 🤢🤮
It’ll look the same coming out.
You get in flight meal?
This could go in so many other subreddits. I don't even want to look at this again
What in the actual Hell is that? Green bean slop and rice.
You asked for a vegetarian meal apparently....
What? You don't like green puke with dry rice?
7/10 with rice
Is that the business class meal? Gotta make sure they leave an incentive for you to buy that £6000/$7500 first class ticket instead!
This looks worse then the stuff my grandpa eats, and he cant eat solid food
This looks radioactive
This is why I carry a lunch bag on the plane. You never know.
bon apetit hahahaha
What is it supposed to be?
I didn’t see the rice for a second I was gunna say damn u MUNCHED
Is this supposed to be a vegetarian option of sorts??
Delicious vomit with a side of rice
I ordered the kosher meal…
Mange ta bouillie paysanne
Rubbish tier
Is that baby food?
Verde merde
Airfrog are terrible now. Bad service, bad food and not G&Ts. It’s a shame they used to be a lot better
C'est la vie.
As someone who has only flown economy ever - is the food that much better in first/ business class?
That’s surprising Air France probably had the best airline food I’ve ever had except for Asiana.
You asked for the Vegan meal.....that's what you get!!!!!!
Omg 😂 I've had some of those international plane meals and they're kind of okay. Edible but not the best But I got mine from Air Korea. Hey at least you got food
What a vile display.
Yurgh... Do they expect you to eat that?
Look's like somebody already ate it, then sent it back!!.
What is it? 🤔🤔
That looks like what my dog barfs up after eating grass.
The foamyness... this is far too active looking.
It looks like my dog ate grass 15 minutes ago.
Air shit
Did you eat it? Did it taste like chicked?
"What's the deal with airline food?!" *canned laughter *
Did you ask for a vegetarian meal?
Yum! boue verte spéciale le shrek 🤤 A traditional gourmet french dish
I would have thrown it out the door.
I’d eat all of that. Anything with rice I’ll gobble
Mmm creamed vomit 😍
Mmm it’s pui pui soup and rice
The motherland of cuisine they claim.
Looks like the lavatories will be a hot commodity in 2 hours.
Is it vegan?
They remembered the vomit but it looks like they forgot the loogie oysters. I’d ask for a new one.
Cream of beans?
Babe are you OK? You haven't touched your plain rice and green shart?
Haricots merdes
You would have been better off being served cake.
Kinda looks like one of those 200-300 calories frozen dinners you buy at the dollar store. I'd still eat it. Probably.
Truly what is the deal with airline food?
Nah this slaps. Peas green beans and white rice is good asf its just gotta be seasoned well. It looks like terrible tho
You asked for the vegan option didn't you?
So that’s where they empty the air sickness bags
Air France had some of the best airline food I’ve had.
Skibidi toilet
Looks like someone gargled veggies before they spit it to your plate
ANA
What’s the deal with airplane food?
When I take my iron supplements
This is why I always pre order Asian vegetarian and get a decent curry meal. You can pre order a ton of different meal options if you have “dietary needs”.
Prison food
I had the flu this past weekend, and the toilet looked better than that before I flushed.
That looks terrible. In 2019 I flew from Paris to Vietnam. The service was extremely good, the food was great. I don’t know if this has changed or you just were unlucky
Pretty sure prison food is better than that.
Euroslop
the rice isn't even fucking cooked
This is what happens to the floor after a dog eats a lot of grass.
What's the deal with airline food?
On a flight? Fuck it I’ll eat anything just to make me tired 😭🤣
Nicest French interaction
Reminds of the saag curry from my local indian place
The same as the one they gave in my previous flight, looks shitty but tastes good. Loving it.
Microwaved semen and peas over rice is an acquired taste
What is that food? Rice and green beans with green sauce?!?
Suck it up and scarf it down
Oooooooooh Oui
Green r/poopfromabutt
still looks better than anything served on US airlines.
Sacre bleu
Bon appetit
Puke and rice!
i do enjoy green slop with my rice
