Ungazifumana phi izidlo ngeyona palate inzima ukuyikholisa? Zama iinyawo ezingama-30,000 ngaphezulu komhlaba.
Njengoko iinqwelo-moya zisokola ngamaxabiso aphezulu epetroli kunye nokhuphiswano oluqina, bazama ukunika ukutya okwanelisa ngakumbi kwinqwelomoya ngelizama ukonyusa ukunyaniseka kwabakhweli. Abathwali abafana neDelta Air Lines Inc. bakhupha iiresiphi zabapheki abadumileyo kwiinqwelomoya ezininzi ngelixa i-US Airways Inc. ityala imali kwizithako ezikumgangatho ophezulu. Nangona kunjalo, kunzima ukwenza ukutya kube mnandi kuba abapheki beenqwelo moya bajongana nemiceli mngeni koogxa babo kwiindawo zokutyela ezikumgangatho ophantsi abakwenzi.
“Sinezithintelo kangangoko sinokukwenza,” utshilo u-Todd English umpheki odumileyo waseBoston, owenza isandwich kunye neeresiphi zesaladi zeDelta. Oko kuthetha ukuba ukutya kwesiNgesi kwinqwelomoya akunamdla kangako kunendlela yokutya yaseMeditera etolikayo azakhela kuyo udumo lwakhe: “Eyona nto iqhubela phambili siyenzileyo yisaladi yespaghetti emnyama yomnquma.”
Uluhlu lwemiqobo yabapheki beenqwelo moya kufuneka boyise lude. Okokuqala, abapheki beenqwelo-moya kufuneka bongeze isinongo esingakumbi ngenxa yokuba amandla abakhweli okuqonda incasa abonakaliswe kwi-15 ekhulwini ukuya kuma-40 ekhulwini kwiinyawo ezingama-30,000. Ngaphezulu koko, izidlo ezininzi kufuneka ziphekwe iiyure ngaphambi kokuba zihambe kwaye ziphinde zifudunyezwe kwi-oven ye-convection imizuzu engama-20, enokomisa i-natural juices. Kwaye ibhotolo kunye neesosi zekhrimu ziyahlukana xa zifudunyezwa, ngoko ke ezo zihlala zishiywe ngaphandle.
Nangona kunjalo, iinqwelomoya kulo nyaka uphelileyo okanye kunjalo bezizama ukwenza ukutya kwazo kube mnandi. I-Delta isebenzisana nomnye umpheki odumileyo, owayesakuba ngumdlali we-Food Network uMichelle Bernstein, owongeza incasa ngokupheka iitapile ngejinja eswiti. Kwaye i-US Airways ijula izilayi zenkukhu entsha eyojiweyo kwiisaladi zayo, endaweni yokuxhomekeka kwinqunqa yenkukhu ekhenkcezisiweyo.
Ugxininiso oluhlaziyiweyo lokutya luza emva kweminyaka engaphezu kweshumi yokuwohloka kwenkonzo yokutya kwi-flight, eyaba nzima xa iinqwelo-moya ezininzi zase-US zichitha ukutya kwamahhala kumqeqeshi kwiindiza zasekhaya emva kokuhlaselwa kwamaphekula ngoSeptemba 11 kwathumela imboni kwi-tailspin yezemali. Imali echithwe ziinqwelo moya zase-US ekutyeni nakwiziselo iye yehla ngeepesenti ezingama-43 ukususela ngo-1992, xa yayiyi-5.92 yeedola ngomkhweli ngamnye. Ngo-2006, iinqwelomoya ezinkulu ezilithoba bezichitha kuphela i-3.40 yeedola ngomkhweli ngamnye, ngokutsho kwe-US Bureau of Transportation Statistics.
Ukutya kwe-Airline kudala kuyintlekisa, kwaye abanye bathi udumo lufanelekile. Umbhali weveki u-Alan E. Gold waseBurlington usikhumbula kakuhle isidlo awayesityile ngoDisemba – “enye yezi sandwich zokusonga – ndiyaqikelela ukuba yayiyitumato eyomiswe ngelanga. Yayizizinto ezimdaka. Yayipakishwe ikrwada, kwaye lonke ulwelo lwahlala ezantsi.”
Abanye abakhweli bade bathi phithi kukutya kwenqwelo-moya. Kwi-airlinemeals.net, abahambi kwiinqwelo-moya ezingama-536 balayishe i-18,821 yesnapshots yokutya kwabo kwasebhodini ukusukela ngasekupheleni kuka-2001 kwaye bagxeka incasa, ubume, kunye namacandelo. Umkhweli kwi-Alaska Airlines ubonise ubungqina be-"miniscule" kunye ne-"lackluster" yesidlo sakusasa se-burrito. Ngeli xesha, i-US Airways isidlo sasemini esatya isidlo sasemini senkukhu kwinqwelomoya yamazwe ngamazwe ka-2006 yakhalaza ngokuthi "ukutya bekushushu ngokwaneleyo kodwa WAY kunetyuwa kakhulu" kwaye inkano ye-almond ekhaphayo "iswiti kakhulu."
Kuluqili ukubuyisela incasa buthuntu ngaphandle kokuyibaxa. Iisampulu zokutya ebhodini kunokuba ngundoqo. “Ndikhwele inqwelomoya ndangcamla ukutya. Andizange ndikholelwe ukuba iyafana,” utshilo uBernstein. "Emhlabeni, into onokuyifumana inetyuwa kwaye ineziqholo kunye ne-über-flavourful pale xa uthelekisa xa ukwinqwelomoya."

Xoxani malunga nokuba iinkampani zeenqwelo moya kufuneka zenze ntoni ukuze ziphucule ukutya kwe-inflight?
amabali amaninzi afana nalaNgenxa yoko, "Ndibeka i-shallots kunye negalikhi phantse kuyo yonke into," kusho uBernstein.
Ubuchwephesha bokwenza ukutya kwinqwelomoya bunokubulala ubuchule bompheki. UBernstein wayeka ukuzama ukuhlanganisa ukutya okushushu nokubandayo. Isizathu? Akukho ndawo yaneleyo yekhabhinethi okanye ixesha lokuba abancedisi benqwelo-moya baye phezulu kwintlanzi efudunyezwa ngokutsha ngesalsa epholileyo. Kwaye ngelixa wayebetha i-gazpacho emhlophe eyayithandwa ngabavavanyi bokungcamla benqwelomoya, isitya kusenokwenzeka ukuba asizukungena kwimenyu. “Ngobuchule, kunzima kakhulu,” watsho encwina. "Xa iinqwelomoya zinyuka, i-gazpacho inokuphuma ekomityini."
Nokwenza ikofu elungileyo kungqineke kuyimpumelelo ye-Dunkin' Donuts, ethe yanikezela ngophawu lwayo kwiinqwelomoya zeJetBlue Airways Corp. iminyaka emibini. Amanzi abila kumaqondo obushushu asezantsi kwiindawo eziphakamileyo, kodwa useto lwekofu olusebhodini alunakutshintshwa. Ikofu yangaphakathi nayo incasa ehlekisayo emva kokuba yenziwe kumanzi asele ekhulile esiswini senqwelomoya. Ke, iDunkin' Donuts kuye kwafuneka ilungelelanise umlinganiselo wamanzi kunye nemihlaba yekofu esemoyeni kwaye isebenzise amanzi aqhutywa kwisistim yokucoca ekwibhodi.
Nangona kukho imingeni, abapheki baphikisa ukuba ukutya kuphuculwe. “Ndikhumbula iimini xa wawufumana iqhekeza lenyama engaqondakaliyo egqunywe ngesosi enemifuno,” utshilo uBob Rosar, umpheki olawulayo wenkampani noGate Gourmet, ongowesibini ngobukhulu kwinqwelomoya. "Ezo ntsuku zihambile."
Intatheli eyenze isampulu yokutya kwenqwelo moya emhlabeni ifumene iAmerican Airlines Inc.'s quiche igcwele isoseji yesiPhuthukezi, amakhowa eshiitake, kunye netshizi yeMonterey Jack ukuze ibenentliziyo, ikhrimu, kwaye ibenencasa. Isitya sokutyikitya sompheki odumileyo waseHawaii uSam Choy sinikwa okokuqala nakwiklasi yeshishini kwezinye iinqwelomoya. Ukutya kwesiNgesi kwakulunge ngokwaneleyo ukuba kutyiwe yonke imihla, ngakumbi isanti efumileyo yebhotolo yecroissant ene-cheddar, iturkey, kunye nebhekoni kwisidlo sakusasa kunye nesaladi yeMeditera eneshrimp eyojiweyo ngesidlo sasemini.
Esinye sezidlo zikaBernstein's Delta - imbambo emfutshane eboyiweyo kwiwayini ebomvu - idume kakhulu kangangokuba izisa iiflaya kwindawo yakhe yokutyela yaseMiami, eMichy's. Kwintlobo ngeentlobo, i-Delta kungekudala iza kuthatha indawo ye-entree ngentsha - mhlawumbi intlanzi kaBernstein eqhotyiswe ngejinja, imango eluhlaza, iitumato, intwana yekhari, ijalapeno, kunye nentwana yobisi lwekhokhonathi olungasweetwanga.
UBernstein uyasithanda isitya sentlanzi kangangokuba wongeze kwimenyu kaMichy. Sekunjalo, “Ndayitshintsha kancinane,” wavuma. Inguqulelo esetyenziswa kumgangatho wolwandle inesaladi yepapaya eluhlaza epholileyo, ukudityaniswa kokushushu nokubanda “andicingi ukuba ndingayenza kwinqwelomoya yaseDelta.”
