Just looking at Air Canada's websites and I see their new menu service. The prices are not too bad, what items have you tried and what is your opinion?

The subway subs look tempting.

Thanks in advance

Just flew them the last few days.

Keep in mind that the subs and sanwiches are not from Subway or Kelseysor at least were not on my flights. Instead, they are "crafted in the likeness of" sandwiches.

Also, on most flights it appears that they will only have the Subway column or the other sandwiches column to select and the availability of other items wil be spotty at best.

On particular items, I had the chicken fajita sub a la Kelsey's. You get a cold white bun that might have een fresh but was too cold to actually be soft. On it, there is chicken breast, I think there may have been some white shredded cheese but would not think more than 1/10 of an ounce and that is your sandwich. There was also a packet of runny salsa-like liqud that you could put on the sub. If you are thinking that the sub sounds kind of dry without it, you are right. But, having had the salsa come back to haunt me for the next 24 hours, I recommend that you just aks for a few more glasses of water and dip your sub in it rather than chance it on the salsa.

On the way home, I chose the vegetarian pita -wanted the healthy choice as I had gone off my diet a bit on the trip. Not sure who the veggie ita is in the likeness of and if that company' PR department everyactually tries one of these,they will soon realize that this exercise in corporate branding is not a wise one.

I will give you the recipe in case anyof you want to make this one at home.

Take a cold whole wheat pita and lay it flat on the counter.

Take a similar amount of chick pea spread as the cheese that is used on the aforementioned chicken sub and spread it on the pita.

Add sheds from a leaf of lettuce.

Take one by carrot and shred it onto the pita.

Roll pita into a long tube.

Ensure caloric intake measurement of sandwich does not exceed 17.

Serve.

But hey, it is airplane food. No big deal. Just do not go thinking you are actually going to get a Subway sub. If you want a Subway sub, carry it on.

Just one frequent flyers opinion. Hope it helps.
 
What a far cry from the days of China and Silverware that WardAir used to present their real meals with.

Also, depending on where you are seated, you may not get a chance to purchase anything from them!

Usually on the flight home, we stop at the Food Court at MCO, buy our meals and bring them onboard to eat!
