EVA high fiber meals are palatable plane fare

a high fiber breakfast on EVA AirlinesIt's pretty much a given these days that you don't get much in the way of food on airplanes, especially when you fly in the continental United States. I was shocked to discover on my last flight out to Portland that I was actually served a meal (a microwaved mini pizza, an iceberg lettuce salad, a bag of potato chips and a package brownie). However, when you fly internationally, food is still part of the travel experience, and can range from terrible to excellent.

Over at Gastronomy, Cathy and her boyfriend, Vernon (aka the Astronomer), have spent the last few months in Vietnam. They did an amazing job of documenting all the amazing things they ate while they were there, and now have even gone so far as to photograph and report back on the meals they were served on EVA Airlines. Cathy requested a high fiber meal and was served an amazing assortment veggies, fruits and whole wheat breads. It seems that selecting high fiber is the way to go when flying EVA.

They were fresh, delicious, interesting... even the snacks were worth the hassle I must have put those poor staff through to find me on those big planes. My husband has declared that next time we go, he's ordering low salt as well because my meals looked so much more interesting than his. Sometimes there are perks to having a special diet. ;)
