A Good Lesson

Once a rich Englishwoman called Mrs Johnson decided to have a birthday party. She invited a lot of guests and a singer. The singer was poor, but he had a very good voice. The singer got to Mrs. Johnson's house at exactly six o'clock as he had been asked to do, but when he went in, he saw through a door that the dining-room was already full of guests, who were sitting round a big table in the middle of the room. The guests were eating, joking, laughing, and talking loudly. Mrs Johnson came out to him, and he thought she was going to ask him to join them, when she said, «We’re glad, sir, that you have come. You will be singing after dinner, I’ll call you as soon as we’re ready to listen to you. Now will you go into the kitchen and have dinner, too, please?»

The singer was very angry, but said nothing. At first he wanted to leave Mrs Johnson’s house at once, but then he changed his mind and decided to stay and teach her and her rich guests a good lesson. When the singer went into the kitchen, the servants were having dinner, too. He joined them. After dinner, the singer thanked everybody and said, «Well, now I’m going to sing to you, my good friends.» And he sang them some beautiful songs. Soon Mrs Johnson called the singer. «Well, sir, we’re ready.» «Ready?» asked the singer. "What are you ready for?" "To listen to you," said Mrs. Johnson in an angry voice. "Listen to me? But I have already sung, and I'm afraid I shan't be able to sing any more tonight." "Where did you sing?" "In the kitchen. I always sing for those I have dinner with."

Recently, I've been flying quite a lot - for the usual reasons, like holidays, weddings, milestone birthdays and, sadly, the odd funeral. Since I live in Perth, Western Australia - a very isolated state capital - a flight to the east coast means at least four hours in the air for me. To put that into a European perspective, a flight to Sydney is about the same as flying from Dublin to Istanbul. Then there’s the time difference of two to three hours, so that a whole day is lost crossing the country. When I’m sky-high, I’m captive to what I call “cardboard-box cuisine”. Recent experiences with our major carriers Qantas and Virgin suggest that there may be more flavour in the box itself than its contents.

Sure, Australian airlines have a long tradition of offering free food and drinks, including beer and wine, especially on longer flights. And flying is relatively inexpensive in economy class. Even on the good airlines, I can usually get to and from Sydney for less than A$ 700. Budget carriers will cost you half of that. Back to airline food, though. On a flight to Perth some weeks ago, I was given a “Chinese chicken salad” for my evening meal. In the box, I found a mound of dry purple cabbage and a dozen small pieces of equally dry chicken. There was no dressing, so the only parts of this meal I could eat were two cracker biscuits and a piece of cheese that came on the side. I washed them down with a tiny bottle of red wine and thought, "This meal isn't free: it's worthless. Some time later, I wandered down to the flight attendants' quarters at the back of the plane to see if I could get some more cheese and crackers and another small bottle of wine. The staff were helpful, but what surprised me were the meals they were eating, including a steaming plate of grilled pork medallions in cream sauce with rice and fresh vegetables.

I've been flying quite a bit lately - for the usual reasons, like vacations, weddings, anniversaries and, unfortunately, funerals. Since I live in Perth, Western Australia, a very remote state capital, a flight to the East Coast has meant at least four hours in the air for me. If you draw parallels with Europe, a flight to Sydney takes about the same amount of time as a flight from Dublin to Istanbul. In addition, there is a time difference of two or three hours, so a whole day is lost crossing the country. When I'm high in the sky, I become a prisoner of what I call "cardboard box food." Recent experiences with major food provider Qantas and Virgin suggest that there may be more flavor in the box than what is contained inside. Of course, Australian airlines have a long tradition of serving free food and drinks, including beer and wine, especially on long flights. Flying in economy class is relatively inexpensive. Even flying with good airlines, I can get from Sydney for less than A$700. Budget carriers will cost half as much. However, back to the food on board. On a flight to Perth a few weeks ago, I was served "Chinese chicken salad" for dinner. In the box I found a mound of dried cauliflower and a dozen small pieces of the same dried chicken. There was no sauce, so all I could eat were two crackers and a piece of cheese. I washed them down with a small bottle of red wine and thought, "This food isn't free, but it's disgusting." After a while, I strolled to the tail section of the plane to the flight attendants to see if I could ask for some more cheese, crackers and a small bottle of wine. The staff was obliging, but what surprised me most was the food they had, including smoky plates of grilled pork medallions in a creamy sauce with rice and fresh vegetables.
