“Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We’ve now reached an altitude of thirty thousand feet and will be serving breakfast soon. But I must warn you that it might taste a little different from what you’re used to. And...you probably won’t enjoy it as much as you do on the ground. Please remember that this isn’t our fault. Thanks, and enjoy your flight!”
Needless to say, you’ll never hear an announcement like this. However, research has shown that it’s not the airlines’ fault if in-flight food tastes a little “special.” For a start, believe it or not, your tongue doesn’t work the same up in the air. Because of the lower humidity and air pressure in the airplane cabin, your tongue is actually not as sensitive to different flavors as it usually is. Similarly, your nose, which normally helps you distinguish between different tastes more accurately, becomes so blocked that it doesn’t function well high in the sky.
You can’t just blame your tongue and your nose when the food on your plate doesn’t taste so great, because even your ears can affect how much you enjoy your meal. An airplane cabin can be quite a noisy place, and this often distracts passengers’ attention from what they’re eating. In fact, experiments have indicated that food doesn’t taste as sweet or salty under noisy conditions as it does in a quieter environment. Your cuisine in the clouds, therefore, might taste quite bland because of the noise of the airplane engines.
Of course, airlines have realized how our organs are affected during a flight and have come up with different solutions to the problem. British Airways, for instance, has tried providing passengers with a nasal spray to clear their stuffy, dry noses before meals. Most airlines, however, have just added more flavoring to the dishes that are served during flights to make them tastier. They’ve also introduced some savory ingredients to their in-flight recipes, such as tomatoes, mushrooms, and spinach, because of their rich flavor. In comparison with other foods, these remain yummy, regardless of the height of your tummy!
“We will soon be landing, ladies and gentlemen. Hope you’ve had a pleasant flight and enjoyed your in-flight meals. We look forward to serving you again soon. Safe travels!”
