re: Best meal you've had on a airplane?

Back in the 60's when you boarded any plane, they would ask you if you wanted steak or fish. Then again, they also asked you if you wanted a smoking or non smoking section which didn't matter, because you had working cigarettes in the same small breathing space. Imagine 30 people smoking on a plane with the same air being circulated throughout the cabin for hours.

I always got the steak which tasted like cigarettes.

Best meal I've ever had? I forget what larger city I was coming from, but I purchased a sashimi sampler to go, and also a bottle of premium ginjo sake (this was pre 9/11 when you could carry this stuff on board) and ate like a king on the way home.

ETA: Back in the day they would hand out metal steak knives. How the times have changed.
