Chicken, Fish, or Human? |

I once asked a flight attendant why airplane food was so consistently bad. She shrugged and said, "I guess so people won't ask for seconds."
Ironically, the meal was more horrible than usual. The "Honey Ginger Glazed Chicken" was chewy, like auto vinyl. My stomach swooned sickeningly under the weight of "Light Lemon Orzo," and the "Peas and Carrots USA" tasted like they had been shipped from war-torn Bosnia. Then I realized that I may have misunderstood the recipe pamphlet. I sent this e-mail to United via their online feedback form. I was recently flying United from Seattle to Boston, and I noticed a little pamphlet with my meal. "We've got something new on the menu," it said enticingly, "Sheila Lukins."
How dare you promote cannibalism in this manner! I was so disgusted by this that I couldn't even finish the meal! "Chicken," indeed!
I demand a full refund of my plane fare, plus a recall of those grotesque pamphlets!

Hello Mr. Hargrave,
Thank you for your message. I am sorry if the meaning was
misinterpreted. We certainly do not wish to imply that we partake in
any sort of cannibalistic practices. Our intention is to promote a new
meal program that has many selections from Ms. Lukins' award winning
cookbook. We do hope that you understand and will be able to sample on
of these fine meal selections soon!
