[Sca-cooks] questions relating to food on airlines

[Elaine Koogler]

Good points.  Not sure about taste changing, but I suspect part of the
problem with fish is that the food has to be reheated...which will possibly
overcook the fish.  The only way around this is the way one of the chefs
actually had the appliances on the aircraft do the cooking.

Kiri (heading for the airport as we speak...on my way to K'zoo for the
MKCC!)
