Study solves mystery of flavorless airplane food
Turns out all that airplane noise dulls your tastebuds, say scientists.

If that is the case - then why we like the food served in trains??? Isn't the background / white noise more in a running train ???
Does that mean to deaf people, the food tastes fine? To me aeroplane food tastes peppery.
I always take my own gourmet meal when I fly and it always takes normally great! Airplane food is just nasty and cheap unless you fly very expensive special flights. Noise has nothing to do with it! Airlines just don't have fresh sushi or fine french cooked meals, how can they over come the lack of fresh cooked meals, when they are stuck in cafeteria style public school mass production? It tastes bad because the food is older than minutes, not organic, and not individually prepared. Simple.... More
What a load of tripe. Airline food tastes bland not because of noise, but due to the reduced atmospheric pressure at cruise altitude. You smell food rather than taste it and with the reduced pressure in the cabin there is reduced amounts of volatile substances released from the food. Less volatiles, less taste.
This article is rubbish. Not only is it rubbish, but it does not seem to be relevant to the natural environment. What a waste of money just to tell us something we didnt need to know. Hurray some airplane food is not as bad as we thought, it's still not fantastic.
Last vacation I flew to England, and the best food of the trip was on the airplane.
For the life of me I can't see why people have to get off track and so nasty and mean. If you want to talk down to people go to another site.
I had great veggie meals on British Air. Warm fruit compote , curry veggies, navel orange, beautiful steamed rice. Yummy and I think there was the normal flying noise.
didn't they save money by just doing a study on eating airplane food off the airplane if they want to see if it's really the atmosphere that affects the taste.
because it would be so much more expensive. duhh.
Brilliant
The Mystery Meat tends towards excellence on Southwestern!
Wow. Your home-made sandwiches "tend toward excellence," huh? Madame, you are a jackass.
Because someone is confident in their sandwich making, they're a jackass?
You're a sad little man. Please don't get offended, but my Rosemary Butter Rolls not only tend toward excellence, but EXCEED IT.
Now I'm picturing you writhing on the floor in horror. Get a life.
Like my husband just said, if you bring a packet of crisps on the plane and eat them, they taste just fine. It's definitely that their food is crap.
The end of the golden Age for America, caused by oil shortages is on the horizons! We won't be worried about food on flights for long! The Chinese have developed nuclear/electric powered electric bullet trains to replace oil thirsty air flights and have hooked them into networks of communities totally nuclear power dependent and oil free! They manufacture, on veggies and rice diets today, products that compete directly on world markets with American goods!

Lets stay on topic people. And, it's dodo not do - do.
*Let's stay on topic, people.
There should also be a comma after "dodo."
If you're going to nitpick someone's response, make sure you're not making a mistake, either. Oh, the irony.
There should not be a comma after dodo - it is an adjective that is modifying the noun bird.
Irony is the use of a word other than its literal intention, there has been no irony here.
Also, you don't need the comma after "mistake."
If you're going to nitpick someone's mistake, make sure you're not making one of your own in the process. :D
I wonder how much money was wasted on such a useless study.
I wonder how many dumbasses like you fail to consider/comprehend the greater implications of scientific research.
I wonder if while you are eating, you wear noise-canceling headphones. They are on the more expensive side, but if you are a constant flyer, it might be worth it.
