Uhh there are pretty good reasons we don't do this today. Can you imagine if they suddenly hit turbulence? This seems like it was almost certainly photographed for advertising purposes too.

There’s an in between and we shot past it. Last time I was on a plane they tossed me a microwaved sandwich with lettuce and mayo in it. Do they even give out food anymore?

Yes. But you have to pay. Through the nose. No cash. Card only. And your "meal" may still be frozen in the centre. Ahhh, modern comforts

Just flew back from Japan this past weekend. In economy class, I received two good meals and (alcoholic) drinks. Paying for shit food is just an American thing.

It definitely depends where you're flying to/from and which airline. Virgin/Jetstar in Australia will not give you food for many flights - including an international flight to Indonesia (yes they're both 'budget' but ffs). However, Air New Zealand will probably have food service for a 3hr flight.

if you fly first class you still get a cheese or meat platter with some airlines. It's just not cut on the spot. Remember flying was expensive back then the entire cabin was basically first and business class.
