"In-Flight" Food


My "in-flight" meal
 If you have read my last post, "Jacob's America", then you'll know that I was headed to the States. Well, here I am! As promised, I am documenting some of the food that I come across so I thought I would start with the meal I had on the flight across the "big blue".
 I flew with Aer Lingus, an Irish air line, and so, when I discovered that the plane was to be completely green, I was thrilled. I did research the airline's food a little and there were mixed opinions it seemed so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. There were two choices: chicken tikka with saffron rice or a beef stew and roast potatoes. I went for the tikka (I do enjoy a good curry, see my curry post here) and thoroughly enjoyed it. It came with a little pasta salad, a bread roll and a pack of biscuits. Now, just a little thing that made me happy was that my biscuits were chocolate and orange cookies! (Chocolate and orange is one of my all time favourite combinations, see previous post "Chocolate and Elderflower Truffles".)
Chicken Tikka Masala
 They did serve scones later in the flight but I'm a little dubious of scones now... Read the story of my adventures at the Big Church Day Out HERE. My sisters' scones are better anyhow.
 So, I'm here all safe and sound and awaiting the next food experience. Stay tuned, the fun has only just begun!

 Seasoned with Commencement,

It was a huge, green A330 Airbus!


Exiting the first plane at the layover in
my very cool shades...
Thoroughly enjoying my green seat!


I was fortunate enough to be able to photograph the beef stew option also

"Jacob's America!"

I'll have to try and tick all
of these off...
He, he! Just for a laugh.
Thanks so much Joe for this great bit of work!
 I'm going on tour everybody!
 In my "Thanksgiving in England" post, I mentioned that it would be great to spend Thanksgiving in the States sometime. Well, this year...exactly that will happen! I will going on quite the adventure, spending some time in the U.S.A. and Canada and because the Canadians celebrate their Thanksgiving at a different time of year to their American neighbours, I will be able to do both! This year I will end up celebrating the Canadian Thanksgiving in the province of Alberta and then the American one in the State of Indiana. 
A brilliant book, Jamie!
 The reason for my visit is not just food related; see my previous post "Rustic Farmhouse Molasses and Sunflower Seed Loaf" and read my vest's motif. Some of you already know that I'm a keen musician and so I will be on tour with my band! If in there is a lack of posts for awhile, you will then know what I'm up to.
 Of course, while I am away, I shall do my best to document the foods that I come across to share with you all so you can all look forward to posts on some North American Delicacies from "Jacob's America"!

 Coming Soon,

 Jacob
