?Hindu meals on British Airways?

[Scott W Brim]

I'm flying to Europe on British Airways. I asked for a Hindu meal since
many years ago (the last time I flew to Europe) it was great. The agent
claimed it had meat in it. Does anyone have direct experience?

Hello to you from a fello Cornell Alum! The best thing to do is ask the
ticket agent what kind of meals are available, then you can decide what is
best for you. I'm not familiar with BA but I've heard it's good.

some airlines offer both a hindu meal and a vegetarian hindu meal.
I think that was true on BA a few years back.

Still true on BA.

(Sometimes I wonder why it is called a 'hindu' meal -- there is
nothing 'hindu'ish about the food. Maybe it should be called 'Indian',
if anything)

Dear Nettors,
In March 1996 I was on trip to India and Back from Philadelphia. In
8 days. I requested vegetarian food for my entire trip and had the no
problems on that British Airwas Flight at all. Most of the times, I
found the food catered from NY Area supplier from Philly end and from
some London caterer for the rest of the flight. My problem was that it
was too much food with time changes zone changes coming earlier/later
to the bio-rhythms. The only problem that I had on the flight was there
were absolutely no reading materials on all the flights -- especially
newspapers, newsmagazines, other similar stuff. I found that the Brit
Airways were economizing on this point. My next flight will be unlikely
to be a BA Flight -- only for this reason. Not for food. Hope this
information is useful. Akkaraju Sarma, MD.
