> You should be able to survive on the crap they serve > on board without chiles!!! Airline food without chiles?!? Blasphemy! You should be ashamed of yourself Doug. Those little tupperware salt/pepper shakers make it through security without the bat of an eye. Being plastic you can carry them on your person and they won't set off the metal detectors. On our recent flight, the un-named airline with the initials United Airlines screwed up and served my wife a "special request meal". Turned out to be a Moslem breakfast: water, applesauce, pita bread and a small cake made up of nuts & stuff. Actually not too bad. Definitely needed help from El Grande. Kind of strange that they would take away nail clippers yet serve a Moslem breakfast that included a knife. Scott... Kalosca paprika kicking into high gear... KCK
