An Alitalia moment on Virgin


Passenger goes Mr. Tec apeshit: “…It’s mustard Richard. MUSTARD. More mustard than any man could consume in a month. On the left we have a piece of broccoli and some peppers in a brown glue-like oil and on the right the chef had prepared some mashed potato. The potato masher had obviously broken and so it was decided the next best thing would be to pass the potatoes through the digestive tract of a bird."

That's a lot of mustard, even more than one needs for an evening of sausage and pretzels.

In the only time I've ever defended Virgin, though, I can say their leg-room, at least in 2002, was substantially more than any Alitalia, United, Northwest, Allegiant, Turkish Air, MIAT, Southwest or island-jumping Carrib flight I've ever taken.

Never flew Virgin, so I can't comment on that. But their food looks even worse than the typical horrible airline grub.

Sharpen up Virgin! You ain't just serving Brits.

Tecumseh said...

Is the food on Air France much better? I kind of doubt it.

Pepe le Pew said...

It used to be, but last summer it wasn't any different from the excrement they serve you on US airlines. The one remaining point of distinction is that the stewardesses looked good.

On that upright and locked position note, Turkish Air has amazing stewardesses. And, after a march through Incheon, and after a great friend reaffirmed this fact, I hear the stewardesses on Korean Airlines have some amazing aesthetic qualities. I only saw them in the terminals. Fuck. And I'm not saying this just because it's something like...

....-25F (that's below zero) outside right now.

I say it's high time Korean Air start a New Orleans-Paris route.

Tecumseh said...

But do they spill OJ in your lap, as the Alitalia stews do?

Pepe le Pew said...

Might get a stewardess to spit it in your mouth.

Tecumseh said...

If it's she, I don't mind.

Pepe le Pew said...

that's her!
