At this time of the year, it is customary to make resolutions to talk less, drink less, tell fewer lies, be more charitable toward all (well, almost all), get thinner, read less trash, learn a foreign language and so on. Well, I’ve made them all, and what’s more, over and again. As for keeping my resolutions, let us draw a veil and tiptoe away. But I am loath to let the season go by without a custom as traditional as carols and wassail. Therefore, I shall make a number of good gastronomic resolutions for some of us who do not seem to be able to make them for ourselves. If this is not charitable of me, helping out, what is?
Providers of Airline Food: Abolish the plastic meals of elderly boiled foam rubber masquerading as meat, vegetables etc. Realize that it is impossible to achieve decent sandwiches for airplanes. Pack a picnic lunch of one or two good cold cuts, a hunk of cheese and one of fresh bread, some fruit and a cookie. Serve hot soup carried in vacuum jars, just as coffee is served.
