consistency of something half-way between epoxy that is "half set" and tapioca
Let me guess, that was the only option too? Best in-flight food I had was Alitalia. Full dinner 30 minutes after departure and great coffee, fruit & pastry 45 minutes before landing. Lufthansa nearly as good.
Lufthansa has that weird "dentist's chair" I don't miss.
However, Alitalia and Iberia (Spain) are pretty much "not serious airlines", despite the decent food. Want to get there on time? We'll try. Want your bags to arrive with you? Well, we'll try. Want to actually land at the airport that is on your ticket? Well, we'll try.
No disaagreement on Alitalia level of seriousness, it showed in the cabin crew but I liked that. As far as bag loss & missed flights, flew them for nearly 10 years back & forth to Italy; Milan without mishap. If I had trouble it was on the regional either heading to Ancona or back to Milan. They managed a level of unseriousness waaaay below Alitalia.
Would bet in-flight meal choices sketchy as well.
China Eastern Airlines.
The fish on their flights has the consistency of something half-way between epoxy that is "half set" and tapioca that is past its sell-by date.
"We need to find someone who can fly the plane who didn't have the fish for dinner."

Both are good (not great).
