Food/dishes that you're supposed to think are great, but who you don't like.

Not to mention airline food. The finest mashed potato I have ever tasted was on a BA long haul flight.

Back in the day, KLM used to present a most creditable seafood platter.

KLM to Darkest Africa, flying through the night with, what with hindsight almost certainly became, half of ISIS or Al qaeda dug in at the back in the galley swigging wine and spirits miniatures two or three at a time and scoffing all the food and snacks.

If only we'd known, eh

KLM continue to serve more destinations in east Africa than BA. 'Go figure', as I believe the cousins would have it.

I am a big fan of Kenya Airways business class on their 787s. Jolly comfortable and the service is keen and attentive, if occasionally a little rough around the edges. I like it especially because the calm, relaxed atmosphere is such a contrast to the scrum upon arrival at Jomo Kenyatta

Ah, yes. I remember well, the child redgunamo being loosed off into the heart of Africa in the middle of the night, with firm instructions to run like mad for the plane and fight like crazy to secure our seats; no modern nonsense like boarding passes or anything back then. Not even a proper airport terminal building, just some shacks full of people dressed like they'd walked in from the Old Testament accompanied by their farmyard animals.

The fire that burnt Jomo Kenyatta down a couple of years ago actually improved things a bit, I think.
