And they complain about British food

Brian Micklethwait writes in Transport Blog about the airline food served from the Polish airline, Lot

At its heart was a lump of sludge that could have been anything, but which I prefer to think of as Filboid Studge the food of that name featured in a short story of that name by Saki. Is it made of cement? Glue? Three dimensional blotting/toilet paper? Some sort of industrialised chicken substitute? The hooves of horses ground up and then turned into ... well, that would be glue again I suppose.

People used to make jokes about British Rail food: the curled up sandwiches and rock solid sausage rolls (Built Crewe, 1959). Nowadays the quality of the food is rather better, but the standard joke is that you need to take out a second mortgage to afford it.

Update one:. A certain commenter, who shall be nameless but has lived and worked in Poland, has this to say:

This guy is obviously an idiot and wouldn't know his kotlet from his bigos!! Polish food is 'bardzo dobrze' That's very good by the way Pan Micklethwait.

Update two: Brian has discovered an entire site dedicated to airline food, the appropriately named www.airlinemeals.net. Yes, anything you can possibly image does exist on the Internet
