I had a marvellous fry up the last time I flew from London to
Edinburgh. It was quite the most impressive meal I've had on a journey
on either train or plane ever. Perfect bacon, scrambled eggs and some
decent sausages.

Bearing in mind that it would have been a re-heated fry-up, one can only
gasp in amazement.

Friend of mine tells a story of hearing an announcement that the
in-flight meal that day was deep-fried chicken.

It caused some slight consternation among passengers when the curtain
to the galley opened, and they saw a member of the crew unconcernedly
lowering the portions into a smoking deep-fat fryer.

Mind you, this was on a USSR internal Aeroflot flight.
