When waxing poetic about airline food (funny, no?) I often rave about a
KLM flight I took between Amsterdam and London. It was such a short
flight, US air carriers wouldn't even have had time to snarl at you
while tossing out a bag of nuts or pretzels. Yet those gorgeous well
coiffed and dressed KLM goddesses (no other way to describe those 6'
tall blond beauties) passed out a soda/water and a small paper wrapped
tray with your choice of either egg salad or a seafood salad sandwich.
That egg salad possibly contained small minced bits of cucumber and
chives or something in a creamy dressing. I don't eat much egg salad but
this stuff was wonderful!
How KLM managed it when Delta can't is beyond me?
