Bloggers by Land, Sea, and Air

Date: December 31, 2011
Address: Seat 33H, somewhere between Paris and Toronto.

We're intrepid bloggers-eaters, willing to travel great distances for good food, ahem... for the sake of research. We're proud that our blog features Indian meals in Israel, the USA (Paris, coming soon!), consumed together and separately. Over the summer we broke the land barrier by featuring Indian food at sea, and now we're proud to break that barrier again: Indian food in the sky!

R and I met for an amazing 10-day adventure in Paris, which was full of tasty baguettes, flower-flavored cookies, delicious cheese, less-than-delicious wine, roasted chestnuts, and of course, pain au chocolat.

I left before R, leaving her to additional adventures. I boarded the plane, and prepared myself for the long trip ahead. Soon after takeoff, my vegetarian lunch arrived - samosas! There was also a red sauce with vegetables, but it wasn't anywhere near Indian.


Taking Indian food to new heights!

Air Canada meals tend to be hit-or-miss, and often feature Indian-esque dishes. This one was a great hit. Obviously, the dough wasn't anywhere near crispy, but the filling was a lovely mush of potatoes and peas that was flavored quite well. With the rice, it was a perfect meal.

A quick peek around revealed that the regular meal options were chicken or fish. So ten points (or douze points) for the veggie meal actually showing up. The one downside: everyone else's meal came with a cookie. Boohoo.

The glaring absence of the cookie
