Chewing on Airline Food, Part 1: From the Early Days to Special Meals (#186)

It’s the Summer of Food, and in Part 1, #nerdbirds Rachel and Sebastian ponder the surprising history of airline cuisine, based on the book "Food in the Air and Space." From sand-tainted roast chicken and a cat in a hot air balloon to kosher meal hacks and specially seasoned snacks at 30,000 feet, they explore the evolution of inflight dining, special meals, and how taste changes in the air.
