Why food in the clouds isn’t so tasty?
Airplane food has a bad reputation for being bland. A lot of people complain about their bad experiences when they eat on planes. However, it’s not always the chef’s fault, as serving food in the air has many limitations.
In the sky, air pressure and humidity levels are different from those on the ground. This changes people’s senses of smell and taste, so foods have less flavor. In order to solve this problem, many chefs add extra salt or spices to make meals taste better. Another surprising factor that can affect how our food tastes is the roaring sound of airplane engines. Studies have shown that some people thought their food to be less sweet and salty when they dined with loud noises in the background.
Food preparation techniques also play a role in making airplane food less delicious. Since there is no room for kitchens on planes, all meals must be prepared on the ground. They are then packed, refrigerated, and reheated in the air. To deal with this, some airlines are experimenting with other cooking methods to make their food taste better. The next time you’re flying and your food tastes a bit off, don’t blame the airline. They’re doing their best under these difficult situations.

為什麼在高空中的食物不好吃
飛機餐因平淡無味而惡名昭彰。很多人抱怨他們在飛機上用餐的 糟糕經驗。然而,這並不總是廚師的錯,因為在空中供餐有很多的限 制。
在空中,氣壓和溼度與地面不同。這改變了人們的嗅覺和味覺, 因此食物會比較沒味道。為了解決這個問題,許多廚師會添加額外的 鹽和調味料來使餐點更好吃。另一個會影響我們食物味道的驚人因素 是飛機引擎的轟鳴聲。研究表示有些人在噪音環境中用餐會覺得食物 吃起來比較不甜和不鹹。
備餐技術也會造成飛機餐不那麼美味。由於飛機上沒有空間設置 廚房,所有的餐點都必須在地面上準備。然後將它們包裝、冷凍並在 空中重新加熱。為了解決這個問題,一些航空公司正在試驗其他烹飪 方法使他們的食物更好吃。下次搭飛機時,如果你的食物有點變味, 請不要責怪航空公司。他們在這些困難的情況下盡力而為了。
