[QUOTE="annelise, post: 643700, member: 74652"] I made a rather bad choice when recently flying to Hanoi. There were no food choices for diabetics so I opted for gluten free - big mistake! Had the faulty idea that this might somehow be better ... Firstly, the food was bland to the extreme - no spices or salt added. And I should have known: a lot of sweet sirupy fruit thrown in. I was pretty envious about my sons food which looked delicious (or at least as delicious as such flight meals may look!). - I kind of hoped that they would have forgotten about my special diet request when going back - but alas, not so. I was singled out at every meal. - And in spite of this small rant, good that they made sure that I got my special meals. Had I suffered from gluten allergy, I also suppose that the last thing they would wish to have on board would be a passenger having a 'gluten reaction' when flying over Russia ... Next time, I will put no special meal requests in and just pick from whatever is served - and offer my dessert to my neighbour ... annelise - by the way, breakfast was excellent: mushroom omelet [/QUOTE]
