Air Canada

We are finally coming home. Seems the Barcelona airport is gently air conditioned so I’m happy to be on an Air Canada with the AC pumping. We are flying home Business (J) class which is always nice when returning tired and ready for home. When it is a day flight that always maximizes the experience. So I’m settled in and have already started Scream 7.

Why Smoked Fish As An Appetizer On Air Canada

Why Smoked Fish As An Appetizer On Air Canada

In-flight

Why do airlines feel that smoked salmon is an option for a meal where the appetizer is not a choice. 

Today we got smoked salmon AND smoked cod. With a bit of lumpfish roe, I guess a caviar?

I was not a fan and I didn’t know how to eat it even if I did want to. Do I put the mayo and apple slaw on the smoked fish?

The braised beef was good though… and I’m always a fan of a lemon tart for dessert.
