Unit 8
SPECIAL DIETS
Dialogue
Having served drinks to the passengers, the cabin crew are now about to serve lunch. Mr. Marshall, sitting comfortably in his window seat, is approached by an air hostess. She knows that a special vegetarian diet has been requested for him.
Mr. Marshall: Feeling hungry?
Passenger: Starving. I didn’t have time for breakfast. I had a bit of a scramble to catch the flight.
Mr. Marshall: Well, it doesn’t look as if we’ll have long to wait. They seem to be busy in the galley back there.
Passenger: Yes, and I swear that I smell steak.
Mr. Marshall: There’s a menu in the pocket of the seat-back in front of you. Have a look.
Passenger: Yes, I was right. Look at this. Smoked Scotch salmon to start with, followed by steak with button mushrooms, garden peas and croquette potatoes. Then there’s Napoleon gateau. That’s fabulous. And look. There’s English cheese, cream crackers and coffee. There’s even de-caffeinated coffee, too.
Mr. Marshall: That should take care of your appetite. Sure you’ll be able to eat it all?
Passenger: I’ll finish it, don’t worry. You hungry?
Mr. Marshall: Fairly. I hope they remembered my diet.
Passenger: Diet?
Mr. Marshall: Yes, I don’t eat meat.
Passenger: How can you have something that’s not on the menu? After all, this is an aircraft, not a fully equipped restaurant.
Mr. Marshall: It’s easy. You just tell the airline when you book your seat. They’ll fix you up with virtually anything you want.
Passenger: Really? Then I’ll be interested to see what they give you.
Mr. Marshall: Ah, here comes the hostess.
Air hostess: We’re about to serve lunch, sir. We do have a special meal for you and you can have a choice.
Mr. Marshall: Will it be a strict vegetarian meal?
Air hostess: Of course, sir. We have a varied selection of dishes. I’m sure you’ll enjoy your meal.
Mr. Marshall: Do you get many vegetarians travelling with you?
Air hostess: Yes, quite a few. It’s easy if they have the foresight to alert us as you did when you booked your flight. But we’re never caught out. We always carry tins of vegetarian food, like rice pulao and laganshula, for anyone who has forgotten to warn us.
Mr. Marshall: Will I have a hot main course?
Air hostess: Yes, we can supply hot or cold main courses. Would you like spiced vegetable stew with rice pulao?
Mr. Marshall: That will be excellent. What else can I have?
Air hostess: Vegetable hors d’ceuvre or vegetable soup, fruit or a sweet.
Mr. Marshall: The horse d’ceuvre and fruit, please. By the way, do you do many different meals? I was thinking about Hindus and Moslems.
Air hostess: We cater for everyone. As I said, it does help if we are warned of a passenger’s requirements, but we always carry a supply of special meals just in case.
Mr. Marshall: What sort of special meals?
Air hostess: We have kosher and kedassia meals, dishes for Orthodox Moslems, and vegetarians like yourself. We can also produce any individual diet that a diabetic might ask for.
Mr. Marshall: That’s incredible. Even a good hotel would be hard put to do all that-and here we are flying at 35,000 ft.
Air hostess: It’s all part of the service. We like to think that our food is as good as you’ll get in a five-star hotel. Now I’ll fetch your meal.
Passenger: I see what you were trying to tell me. It’s quite incredible.
Air hostess: Let me pull down the seat tables for you. Here’s your meal tray. Another air hostess will bring your special meal in a few minutes, Mr. Marshall.
Passenger: This looks great. Do you mind if I start?
Mr. Marshall: No, of course not. Anyway, here’s mine already.
Air hostess: Would you like some wine with your meal?
Mr. Marshall: A burgundy would be nice.
Passenger: Yes, one of those bottles of red wine will do me. Small, though, aren’t they?
Mr. Marshall: Just the right size for anyone travelling alone. Your good health.
Passenger: That steak was beautiful, really tender. How was your meal? I must say I never realized a vegetarian meal could look so good.
Mr. Marshall: It was good. I wish I could always get the same service on the ground.
Air hostess: Coffee, sir?
Mr. Marshall: Black, please. And could I have a brandy?
Passenger: Say, that’s a great idea. Same for me, too, please.
Mr. Marshall: You really are enjoying your flight, aren’t you?
Passenger: You can say that again. This may be my first flight, but it certainly won’t be my last.
Reading and Comprehension
Airlines compete vigorously with each other to give good service. One of the ways they can fulfill their promise to do so is by providing the special meals required by passengers of various nationalities and religions. Sometimes a passenger needs a particular food for medical reasons. On other occasions a traveler’s religion may forbid him to eat certain food or meals that have not been prepared in a certain way. From their earliest training days, airline stewards and hostesses are told about the food requirements of particular passengers. They are taught about the contents of the diets and the reasons that make such diets necessary. They learn that to offer particular foods to members of certain religions can be regarded as almost an insult, and certain to cause offence. In the same way, airline reservations staff are experienced in finding out the special dietary requirements of any passenger who cannot eat the meals that would normally be provided during the flight.

Unit 9
The aircraft galley
Mr. Marshall has enjoyed his meal. He compliments the hostess and asks her about the catering facilities on the aircraft. She offers to show him the galley, an invitation that Mr. Marshall accepts gladly.
Mr. Marshall: My word, this galley does seem small. How on earth can you produce all those delicious meals you serve in this little space?
Air hostess: That’s easy. The whole meal, except for the tea and coffee, is
prepared in our airline kitchens on the ground. All we have to do is heat the hot dishes for so many minutes and serve them.
Mr. Marshall: You mean you don’t do any real cooking in the aircraft?
Air hostess: That’s right. All the meals are cooked on the ground and then deep frozen. They are taken out of the deep freeze stores by the catering staff who make up the meal trays required for each flight.
Mr. Marshall: But there always seems to be so many different menus.
Air hostess: Right again. I think we have something in the region on four hundred different menus. We are a pretty large airline and we can’t have our regular travelers eating the same food flight after flight.
Mr. Marshall: No, of course not. It’s just something I’ve never thought about before.
Air hostess: There are the ovens that we use to heat up the meals. They’re very easy to operate. You just select the temperature, set the time switch and switch on.
Mr. Marshall: That seems simple enough. Doesn’t the oven tend to dry up the food?
Air hostess: Oh, no. The ovens are specially designed so that the meals come out looking just as they would if they had been served in a restaurant.
Mr. Marshall: Yes, and they taste just as good, if not better.
Air hostess: There’s another trick that we use. Some dishes are covered in foil while they are heated. This ensures that dishes like roast lamb and braised steak remain nice and moist.
Mr. Marshall: Are all the meals heated like that?
Air hostess: Not all. We leave off the foil for other dishes such as grills, tournedos and roast chicken.
Mr. Marshall: A friend of mine flew to America recently. He said that he had steak and scrambled eggs cooked specially for him in the air.
Air hostess: Oh, that would be on one of our Boeing 747s. On those aircraft some dishes can cooked in flight. They’re equipped with special microwave ovens. In the main, however, all the entrees, fish dishes, roasts, grills and vegetables are prepared on the ground and only need to be heated by us.
Mr. Marshall: What happens when the aircraft continues after I get off in Bahrain? Do you carry enough food for the rest of the flight?
Air hostess: Apart from the lunch we have served already, we also have enough supplies to give everyone afternoon tea. We’ll uplift more supplies at another airport so that the fresh cabin crew will be able to serve dinner and breakfast. The breakfast, of course, will be served at the of the night sector.
Mr. Marshall: A fresh crew?
Air hostess: Yes, our work for the will be over. Another crew will have to take over from us.
Mr. Marshall: What will you do then?
Air hostess: After clearing Customs, a crew bus will take us to a hotel where we rest until we have to report to take out tomorrow’s flight. It’ll be another nine days before we get back to base.
Mr. Marshall: That’s because you work for a worldwide airline or long-haul airline as you call it.
Air hostess: Yes, I prefer working for an international airline. It can be hard work, but it’s also fun and you do see the world and all sorts of people. Some girls, of course, prefer working for short-haul airlines because they get home most days.
Mr. Marshall: I see there are six of you on this flight.
Air hostess: Yes. Two work in the first-class compartment and the rest of us look after all the economy-class passengers.
Mr. Marshall: Do you all have different jobs to do?
Air hostess: All the work is divided up. One of us is in this galley most of the time. Another looks after the bar and two of us concentrate on serving. It’s not quite as simple as that, but the system is good as it does share out the work.
Mr. Marshall: Can you serve up most things from the bar?
Air hostess: We carry a very good selection of drinks from beer, wines and spirits to soft drinks. We also mix cocktails.
Mr. Marshall: Do you serve any special drinks?
Air hostess: Yes, depending on which part of the world we are in. On our Pacific flights, for instance, we serve a South Seas cocktail. If we were flying to the West Indies I’d give you an excellent Planter’s Punch.
Mr. Marshall: What do you keep in there?
Air hostess: Nothing you’ll need. It’s full of baby food, milk powder and baby cereals.
Mr. Marshall: You certainly do cater for everyone.
Air hostess: Oh, yes. We even carry baby bottles and sterilizing kits, just in case a mother has forgotten something.
Mr. Marshall: I must say it’s all very impressive. I now see now you can manage to offer everything, and more, that a good hotel can.
Air hostess: It’s the service that means most to a passenger. If it’s bad, or the food is mediocre, he won’t fly with us again. We can’t take too much care of our passengers.
Mr. Marshall: Well, at least you don’t have to do the washing up.
Air hostess: Gosh, no. That’s one job I would hate. The meal trays are gathered up and put back into these containers. They’ll be taken off the aircraft when we uplift new supplies. Then the bar will be restocked at the same time.
Mr. Marshall: What happens to the containers when they are taken off?
Air hostess: The company that looks after our catering at the airport will take them away. Their staff will open them, throw away all the rubbish and wash the trays, cutlery, cups, glasses and containers.
Mr. Marshall: So they will be used again?
Air hostess: Yes. They will make up complete meal trays for another flight. Oftenthey will include some of their own local dishes or specialities.
Mr. Marshall: My word, is that the time?
Air hostess: Yes. We’ll soon be landing.
Mr. Marshall: Well, I’d better get back to my seat. Thanks for showing me the galley. It was very interesting.
Air hostess: I’m so glad you enjoyed it, sir.

There is great competition between scheduled over in-flight catering. The range of dishes and the number of menus that available on any single day is astonishing. To ensure that the standard of cuisine is the highest attainable, airlines prepare and cook the bulk of the food on the ground in their own kitchens. Where they are unable to do this at overseas airports, they contract the catering to specialists in in-flight meals. To prepare lunch from scratch for 350 people in a Boeing 747 would be impossible in the flight time available. You would need an army of chefs and vast kitchens to prepare a typical economy-class meal-such as smoked salmon hors d’oeuvre, breast of chicken chasseur with garden peas, glazed carrots, noodles with tomato and Parmesan, Napoleon gateau, cream crackers, cheese and coffee – for that number of people. To overcome this problem, aircraft galleys are fitted with special ovens for heating meals that have been prepared on the ground. Some aircraft today also have microwave ovens for cooking dishes, such as steak, to a passenger’s personal taste. Wine and other drinks must be available to go with the food. Passenger aircraft carry large stocks of liquor, soft drink and cocktails. Destination also effect the menu. Flights from Far Eastern countries will have Indian, Japanese and other Eastern dishes included on the menu along with exotic fruits and drinks. There is also an incredible number of other items that an airline puts on its aircraft for the benefit of its passengers. There include electric razors, comics, toothbrushes, fans, eye-shades, games and even babies’ nappies.
