Catering Issue Prompts British Airways to Serve KFC Onboard

提交时间：9 个月以前

On a recent long-haul flight, class divisions disappeared as flight attendants onboard a British Airways flight were forced to serve food from the fast-food chain "Kentucky Fried Chicken" (KFC) due to an apparent catering issue that occurred immediately before the flight. (aeroxplorer.com) 更多...

The quick thinking of an alternative is to be commended. Yes, probably a disappointment. But nothing compared to a severe bout of Montezuma's Revenge.

Compared to the last meal I had on Delta, KFC would have been a big upgrade. I think a cold beer and some KFC would be great.

Nope. Carslberg Lager, Fullers London Pride, Stella Artois and a Craft Beer from Scotland. BA wouldn't lower themselves to serve Bud Light. Some flights have Grolsh, Guinness, and Pilsner Urquell, and Holsten Pils. All in all, a pretty good selection of Quality Beers.

Brewed in Aberdeenshire, Speedbird OG has a sharp citrus aroma, upfront zesty orange, and subtle hints of sherbet. The deliciously refreshing IPA will be available in all cabins and selected Lounges from this June– the perfect summer tipple.

I have tried that one yet.

I worked 5 years in BA catering and temperature control is paramount and is logged from when the food was made, deep chilled, stored, transported and put onto the aircraft in insulated Cambro boxes. We pre-chilled ours in a walk in freezer for an hour, and blast froze everything to 2'C. The temperature range is 4 to 6 degrees Centigrade. If it creeps to 8'C and you can bring it down to 4' quickly you can save it, but anything over 8'C gets it condemned as unfit for passengers. Logs have to kept for 12 months and facilities and logs are audited 4 times a year. They have the toughest specs in the industry. Good work for the ground crew arranging hot food so fast.

Just guessing some on the plane were just wrapping up a week at an all inclusive resort, and skipping a meal was not going to hurt them in the least.
Obviously BA staff in NAS had to have done the contacting and leg work to pull off the KFC food run since that would require a fair amount of time to cook that much yard bird.
As for something to drink, sounds like there was a good amount of whine on board, sadly it was too bitter .

KFC? NO THANK YOU! It's full of partially hydrogenated oils that are super bad for your health and trigger Type II Insulin Resistant Diabetes. In fact, all of the seed type oils are super bad, like Canola Oil - which is Rape Seed Oil used to oil machinery, soy bean oil, cottonseed oil, corn oil, etc. If you seek good health, stay away from all those shiny looking oils on the supermarket shelves. They're poison. Ever wonder why so many have vision problems and obesity? When the Mitochondria get plugged by this stuff, everything goes to Hell.

if I had a choice, I would serve Popeye's spicy chicken and gravy. KFC has no taste because it is not cooked fully. KFC party cooks it shicken to sit hours on a steam table then be tossed to the swine. And KFC gravy, swine won't eat either, If you really want to have well fed passengers and crew, serve Wendy's junior burgers with bacon and cheese.
I would walk the length of the tarmac for a Wendy's burger,

Woe are thee, Michael! I read and understood all of your syntax. Problem remains, whether it's KFC or Wendy's, it's STILL processed food with a ton of Frankstein ingredients that aren't good for you. They hide the Trans-fats with ingredients like mono and diglycerides... same thing as partially hydrogenated oils, to fool the public. Your belioved Frosty contains milk, sugar, corn syrup, cream, whey, nonfat dry milk, cocoa (processed with alkali), guar gum, mono and diglycerides, cellulose gum, natural vanilla flavor, carrageenan, calcium sulfate, sodium citrate, dextrose, and vitamin A palmitate. Anything labeled as "Natural" is at once suspect. Here's an article you will do well to read to understand the issues: https://treelight.com/health/nutrition/whats-wrong-with-mono-and-di-glycerides/.

In all fairness, I've had a few Frosty's and Wendy's burgers in my time while out and away from home base and they tasted good... but they're not good for you, so it's only a rare exception that I indulge. Oh, and that dash of Heinz Ketchup... that's high fructose corn syrup - another not so good thing for you.

Start reading the labels and when the total sugars and fats don't add up right, that's your clue to keep moving down the isle. Happy trails!
