The 7 hour trip from Toronto to Brussels started at 6 p.m., so we would have dinner and an early breakfast on the flight. Again, large bottles of liquor were trollied through the cabin, again, tremendous amounts of vodka and whisky disappeared mainly into the plastic goblets of Indian males, and again the food choice was ‘chicken or vegetarian’.
We opted for vegetarian to have Indian food, alas there would have been an Indian and ‘international’ chicken dish as we learned later.
This was a quinoa salad (left corner) with tiny bits of bell pepper, tasty but rather mild; rice, vegetable curry and dal – very good; a small paratha-style flatbread, mediocre but good with the dal; a small plastic cup of real unflavored yogurt, very good; a rather sour-bitter pickle of some sort in a tiny cup; and a caramel apple cake-something on puff pastry as a dessert. I had beer with this, mainly because they would serve a standard size can instead of a small goblet of other drinks.
The breakfast – I didn’t take pics – consisted of a warm, wobbly, croissant thingy – I had two bites and didn’t like the greasyness, a fruit salad (three kinds of melon, rather unripe, and blue grapes), a small orange juice from Minute Maid, a packaged mini carrot cake (according to T. with a distinct baking powder flavor), and coffee even worse than anything I had in Canada, with the intense color of used dishwashing water. Aside from the OJ, I would have exchanged all of it for a halfway decent cup of coffee.
Would I fly Jet Airways for the food? Definitely not in economy. The seats are too short for adults over 160 cm height, anyway…
