traveling food...

Lots of people have told me about the food that you can get at different train stations in India. Different stations have different specialties, so one place might have good Biriani, while another would be good for Pakoras.

Since I haven't been using the trains a lot this time, I can't really comment on the station food, but I can comment on the food that you get on Indian planes.

Normally food on a plane is horrible. When I travel on a plane, I usually try to pack my own meals so that I have a bit of flavour.

The service on the planes here puts anything that I'm used to in Canada to shame. On hour long flights, you get a meal something to drink and a pleasant smile. On an hour long flight in Canada, I sometimes get a flight, depending on where I;I'm sitting and how quick the drink cart moves.

The food on planes here has flavour. I'm not saying that everything is to everyone's taste, but no one will call it bland. I've had amazing food on the flights so far. Service also comes with a smile. I can't complain about the food. It even comes with real cutlery and a cloth napkin.

Actually it came with real cutlery on Jet airways, and high end plastic cutlery on Sahara Air. Until today that is. Today, I got a plastic knife with a metal spoon. Once again I ask: Who on earth can take over a plane with that knife? If they can do it with that knife, what makes you think that they needed the knife in the first place.

I'm off to sleep.
