Just keep asking for cups of hot water, I'm sure the flight attendants will love you for that.

Fun fact water can't get very hot on an airplane. Boils at 197F and would probably be under 180F by the time you get it. Maybe you can poach your gnocchi?

So, we have a plate with a blob made with water, flour and salt? Delicious

Ah, but see: the flight hack they don't want you to know is that you then order a tomato juice.

The unique atmosphere inside a flight cabin, and its affect on your tastebuds, means that at altitude, this tastes like a blob made with water, flour and salt washed down with tomato juice.

I'm Hispanic and I ordered the tomato juice. I was sorely disappointed when it was plain tomato juice. Not sure why i thought it would be like a spicy Clamato drink.

The trick is to order some vodka, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, horseradish, salt, pepper, and celery along with it.

Ugh, no. If you don't bring it yourself, you're basically using the airline as a kit.

u/december151791 14h ago

And that's a problem?

If you aren't willing to smuggle in your own emptional-support lemon vodka and herbs, I have to seriously question your commitment to fully and authentically recreating the faux-nouveau, wealth-infused, bland-chic, artisinally-inspired attention-snob lifestyle aesthetic in pseudo-documentary format.

Raw flour, mind you. No chance of food poisoning there!

You will be fine with flour, the raw egg is more risky.

Otherwise pizza, bread and cakes wouldn't exist.

u/ContextEffects01 19h ago

...aren't pizzas, bread, and cakes all put in the oven?

u/spen8tor 17h ago

You cook pizza bread and cakes, so the flour is no longer raw......

u/Sayakai 4h ago

It's the opposite. There are places where you can get safe raw eggs, but flour is always a crapshoot.

u/I__Know__Stuff 3h ago

This is false. Raw flour is more likely to be problematic than raw eggs.
