| not the actual smoked salmon. I believe there were three pieces on the plate, not five. |
We had super early flights and to my pleasant surprise, we were served breakfast. On our way down, we were served…wait for it…wait for it…smoked salmon, accompanied by a dollop of cream cheese, a bagel, a mini bowl of chopped onions, capers, and a lemon wedge. I used to not be able to consume food on airplanes (my stomach did not handle it well), but first class is a different world. It was delicious (minus the onions that I didn’t eat because I only like cooked onions). I am done pretending. First class or bust!
Nick was just telling me about one of the best meals of his life on the return flight from Thailand in first class. I have only heard tales of the wonderment and delight of flying first class...there was this one time when Liz and I were flying back east from Seattle, she got bumped and I watched her get escorted through the closed off curtains as I sat cramped in the middle seat in the last row in front of the bathroom. Maybe I'm still upset about that...
ReplyDeleteEvan got bumped on our way to Costa Rica and offered it up, but I told him to take it. He sits first class much more than I do, and I didn't feel right using a perk we get because of his hard work for myself. He came back and visited me a few times and brought me snacks. Maybe someone should tell Liz that just because she is sitting up there, doesn't mean she can't come back and share the love.
ReplyDeleteAnd best meal ever? Nick is so foodie. That is shocking. My salmon was good, but honestly I was just happy I didn't get sick (A) from eating on a plane and (B) from eating fish on a plane.
