What Did Social Media Say?
Social media users quickly joined the conversation, sharing their own frustrations with in-flight meals. One user asked Mazumdar-Shaw what she would prefer instead, to which she replied, “My magic upma or noodles or even sandwiches!”
Another user commented, “The term ‘gourmet' sets high expectations, but the actual food often doesn't match up. A good lounge meal before boarding makes the contrast even more obvious. Airlines should really do a proper customer survey before calling it gourmet.”
Someone else chimed in saying, “Totally agree. The food quality has dropped so much it feels like something you'd get in an ICU, completely sterilised and bland.” Another user summed it up bluntly: “Not appetising at all, just fancy words on a menu!".
