These are both from Air Canada flights to/from Vancouver and Hong Kong.

'Appetizers'

A bag of 'Tex Mex Nachos', kind of Chili crackers, tasting like the ones offered by your grand-mother when you visit her on Sundays (the ones she's been keeping in an old box of 'Quality Street' for years). All of this was served with a drink of your choice ( no Dr Pepper, a shame for an Amercican company).

apero
 

We could choose between vegetarian pastas or chicken cooked with rice and carrots (you can of course tell the company if you're on a particular diet when booking your flight).

'Meal tray'

Macaroni cheese : it was not that good and very stodgy. Actually, it was swimming in a second-class béchamel sauce reminding me of the one from the school canteen I used to eat at as a child. The rare vegetables all tasted the same, a bit like an 'ED' ready meal.

Chicken : Surprisingly tasty. Approved. By far the best option in the flight.

Chicken
 

Each meal was served with :
- a bottle of water
- a raw salad, looking dry, but once the 'Thousand Island' sauce by Heinz added, it is edible. A bit of healthy vegetables is recommended before a junk-food orgy.
- A cold and hard as concrete bread roll and a mini 'Président' butter portion, Cocoricoooooo
- A very creamy 'laughing cow' portion (a bit like a fondue)
- Two crackers
- Coconuts and orange biscuits (that you preciously keep in case of feeling a bit peckish later but that end in bits in your bag...)

Bonus! We've been offered two small bottles of red wine (usually 7$ each) because of a defective plug for the earphones.

'Tea Time'

Hot drink.

Tea
 

To conclude, it was not that great, but when you're really hungry, you eat it up. Anyway, you don't really expect a fantastic meal when in a sardine box, 33000 feet high, don't you?
