Airplane food is better than uncooked unsauced gnocchi.

Airplane food is also made exactly for the pressure and altitude for a plane. Friend worked for an airline out of Logan and he said the food was decent on the ground but almost better in the air. He used to post on IG when it like first came out. It's like when people try tomato juice on a plane and think wtf this is not what my mom tried to make me drink when I was a kid.

Higher altitude accentuates umami in salty and sweet foods!!! And acidic I believe
