Notes From a Plane Ride

   I really like flying Air Lufthansa. They feed you even on the one hour flights, which is pretty groovy of them. I've had three Air Luf sandwiches in four days now, so I think my commentary is pretty expert. Despite the pleasure I get from a free sammie, it is still airplane food, so there's always something to complain about. The sandwich I just ate was labelled as follows: "Tomato, basil and mozzarella". Lets think about the message you send when you have to list mozzarella as a selling point for lack of any other ingredients-- when one third of the filling is mozzarella.
   Mozzarella is potentially the world's most uninteresting cheese. It's like, "do you like the taste of air? Well here it is in solid form". It's the Kourtney Kardashian of the dairy world. Besides the cheese, the tomato and basil portions of the sandwich were spreads. The kind of consistency that just slides through your digestive tract like a well-waxed toboggan on the day after a frost.
   Then there's the white bread. Don't get me wrong, I am no health nut. I will eat anything. My beef is that I'm nearly certain that each slice of bread was 75% air. Which is great if you answered "yes" to the earlier "do you like the taste of air" question. I guess it's weirdly fitting though; some air bread to go with your air cheese, as you shoot through the actual air in a metal tube.
