I am somehow comforted by this collection of airline meal photos (with scattered reviews).
"A "panini" hard like a biscuit with a cheese which smelts like perspiring feets. The worst service I've ever had in an airliner. I sat on 25F (last row in a B737) and got my drinks at first... My friend was sitting next to me (25 E) and the stewardess said to him "I will come later" and moved her trolley table to the row below the business class (approx 10)... Unfortunately he got his drink as last... Definitely the service of a fallen star..." Lufthansa
