74. Nobody really enjoys eating turkey.

Most underestimated meat on the human menu imo. Love it when it's cooked right

Agreed - but if people liked it that much they'd eat it all year round.

75. Subway is always a better idea than it actually tastes.

Blinding thread this one by the way!

I love Turkey, it's probably my favourite meat and don't just eat it at Christmas.

Try minced turkey, if you ain't already mate, well tasty and lean an all

Aeroplane Meals - 2 crackers, a roll and a funsize piece of Cathedral City, followed by an overcooked piece of chicken breast which is usually covered in gravy and served with some microwaved carrots and peas. Finally, a small chocolate mousse or something similar.

In any other context it's basically a bottom of the range tv dinner with some mediocre extras on the side - given the choice between either eating that meal or not eating at all, I'd probably opt for the latter. However, I get on a plane, and all of a sudden this shite food has become delicious and I can't shovel it down quick enough.

You eat the cheese "course" first?

I like liver and bacon. If that makes me a pervert, then so be it.

Gotta love liver, bacon, mash and 2 slices of onion gravy.

You may be putting too much flour in your onion gravy

If I can hear you chewing then I am imagining myself throttling you to death with a rusty cable!

Never visit China, you'd lose your mind.

You can't beat a corned beef, beetroot and salad cream sandwich with back pepper on crusty white bread

I do indeed mate. Never considered the possibility of starting with the microwaved chicken supreme and then moving onto the cheese. You've raised an interesting point though. In a normal home or restaurant scenario, a cheeseboard is a dessert. But I wouldn't have a chocolate mousse AND a cheeseboard after the main course in a restaurant, it's one or the other.

In the plane scenario, clearly the mousse has to be a dessert. Based on the fact having 2 desserts seems odd to me, the cheese section moves to the beginning of the meal. I usually discard the crackers, put the cheese in the roll and have an impromptu cheese sandwich to start off. It's worked well for me over a number of years.

That's probably the two dullest paragraphs I've ever written. I might send them to the BBC so that they can commission a 6-part series about airborne eating habits, hosted by Sandi Toksvig and Paul Hollywood and featuring guest appearances from a selection of famous faces who talk candidly about their experiences of eating on a plane.

ha ha! I spent some time in Hong Kong in 2017 and it was a real eye opener! Slurping, chewing loudly and burping were all part of the norm. I actually found it hard not to laugh a lot of the time.

The worst part is, after 7 years here I find myself doing it, my grandma would be ashamed.

Flakes aren't sexy when you're Granny's eating them.

I could eat roast pork Sunday lunch every day of the week.

Corned beef is shite. Any perceived enjoyment of this foul product stems purely from nostalgia. No adult would willingly eat this cack unless they had some fond childhood memory of being served it.
