For me, the worst thing about airline food is that it's notoriously overcooked. I think a lot of the meals would be quite decent if cooked properly, but the service at 35,000 feet is difficult to manage and many of the meals are just ruined. The best in-flight meals I had were braised dishes, which have a natural resistance to being overcooked. Another exception was on Korean Airlines, where the dishes were mostly fresh greens, not cooked at all.

I find in economy/premium only part of it is overcooked since they cook the entire tray at once rather than the individual components.

I assume it wouldn’t be possible to not overcook part of it unless you’re undercooking another unless they cooked everything individually.

Taste buds also become much less sensitive at high altitudes apparently
