I’ve flown Japan Airlines a couple of times between the West Coast and Tokyo. It
was a few years ago, so it was like flying inside a fucking cigar bar, but that
was back in my heavy smoking days, so I didn’t give a fuck. The service was
superb… Well, I was in business class, courtesy of Hitachi, and the quality and
variety of the food and booze was excellent, western or Japanese… But just to prove how fucked
up flying has become since the good old days, news today that JAL
will be serving Kentucky Fried Chicken as a second choice for their
in-flight meal service.
These gourmet treats will include a drumstick, boneless chicken
breast, coleslaw, lettuce leaves and bread. No word on whether you have the
choice of “Spicy” or the colonel’s “Original” seasoning. Holy
fuck, I just hope they keep the sake flowing! Flying these days has become like
being on a Greyhound bus with wings. And probably with less leg room.
You got something against chicken?
