Concorde catering and in-flight meals

Posted by John Lampard on Monday, 26 May, 2008 to the comment subset

A collection of photos of the in-flight meals served on supersonic aircraft Concorde.

With the cost of tickets ranging in price from £3000 for an economy flight, to £8000 for first class seats, you’d hope the food would have been well above par.

And it seems it was, if this review of one Concorde meal, was anything to go by.

The smoked salmon was absolutely wonderful, just melting in my mouth. Notice the finely ground spices on the tomatoes, which were stewed to perfection. And the scrambled eggs - done just right, not runny but not dry, very buttery. The beans were also remarkably delicious - I wish I could eat breakfast here every day.

“I wish I could eat breakfast here every day.”

Actually I really don’t mind airline food (though I never sampled Concorde fare), and often after returning from trips involving much flying within short spans of time, and thus plenty of servings of airline food, I seem to suffer from withdrawal symptoms.

As a result I feel the need to eat all meals, breakfast, lunch, and tea, in restaurants or cafes, for a couple of days afterwards, so accustomed do I become to being waited on hand and foot. :)
