As a Spaniard who comes from a place where that kind of ham is a typical food (like THE typical food), it hurts me to see how they are butchering that ham cutting it that way. I feel personally attacked.

I've never seen anyone cutting ham this way either
I'm portuguese and I feel undecided between blind rage or ugly crying.
Por que não ambos?
Choro raivoso violento?
É isso
Common Nordic food L?
As an ignorant person who has only seen a ham like this in pictures, how are you supposed to cut it?
Long thin cuts along with the length of the bone.
No, no, no, it was butchered much earlier.
Uhh there are pretty good reasons we don't do this today. Can you imagine if they suddenly hit turbulence? This seems like it was almost certainly photographed for advertising purposes too.
There’s an in between and we shot past it. Last time I was on a plane they tossed me a microwaved sandwich with lettuce and mayo in it. Do they even give out food anymore?
Yes. But you have to pay. Through the nose. No cash. Card only. And your "meal" may still be frozen in the centre. Ahhh, modern comforts
Just flew back from Japan this past weekend. In economy class, I received two good meals and (alcoholic) drinks. Paying for shit food is just an American thing.
It definitely depends where you're flying to/from and which airline. Virgin/Jetstar in Australia will not give you food for many flights - including an international flight to Indonesia (yes they're both 'budget' but ffs). However, Air New Zealand will probably have food service for a 3hr flight.
if you fly first class you still get a cheese or meat platter with some airlines. It's just not cut on the spot. Remember flying was expensive back then the entire cabin was basically first and business class.
The way that jamón is cut makes me wanna cry a little
unrelated to the cut, but I got myself a small pre-sliced kit of Iberico ham, wholly holy hell I think I may have ruined myself on my discount charcuterie. Now I am having internal debates of the worthiness of buying a whole leg and having the arguments of justifying the costs to my wife.
Presunto/jámon will cure over time and become harder and denser in flavour. Cutting it straight from the leg is also a learned skill and a good knife to do it is also advisable. But you get a bone from which you can make an awsome feijoada.
Came to say this. The way they cut that ham is a punishable by jail crime in Spain.
Not shown: the rest of the plane smoking cigarettes.
They're already running a giant meat smoker up there.
What was the inflation adjusted cost of that flight?
This is some monster hunter shit
How many beers do they need?
If you think that's a lot, you should see how many beers the pilots have got!
As one can see two different bottles (at least to me they look slightly different) on the plate, they may contain different grades, e.g. one may be light beer, lättöl, and the other regular beer, folköl, or strong beer, starköl.
Yes
An original Spanish person would be very angry with this picture
A portuguese would be very much pissed at it as well...
Ignoring the food for a second, is that a young willam Defoe?
I came here for this comment
“In what form would you like your pork?”
I will say, one of the best in flight meals I ever had was in business class on SAS. Looks like it’s a long tradition.
Nice.
not enough cheese and imma pass on meats cut barehanded by people that work next to the pisser.
some of you really mad at this?! 🤣
