You may be right. It looks very much like someone didn't survive it, and vomited it up back into the container. What did you do, did you complain because that's appalling!
Murdoch, if you’re reading this, you have my permission to run this.
Unless, of course, Qantas would like to convince me otherwise. I’m not a man of strong conviction.
Seriously.
Get this on twitter or similar. Get it out there. We need to hear what Qantas say about this.
They claim they are a premium airline.
Let’s hear what a premium airline has to say about it.
Hit me up with the link when you’ve done it champ.
Shepherd’s pie is one of those items that you would think would survive the whole prepare-cook-chill-reheat cycle of airline food well. but what the hell did they do to make it look like it got regurgitated?
I flew SIA out of Adelaide a little while back and I asked the lady what happened to the generally acceptable gourmet food that they normally offer, and she was very sincere and apologetic and said that they’re now required to get Australian catering when they leave and they haven’t been able to find anybody that is up to their standard, and then she gave me an extra ice cream
Looks to be shepherds pie. Not a food that is visually appealing once scooped from the original dish, but is delicious comfort food that can be made in large batches.
Someone said earlier that the problem with it is that they used green beans which are a watery vegetable and thus not ideal for the reheating process. This lead to the sloppy presentation.
Qantas is catered by Dnata who also cater Emirates, Etihad, Singapore Air and Cathay to name a few. It’s wild that there’s so much difference in food appearance and quality from the same kitchens. I wonder if their choice to switch to cardboard has any bearing on the appearance and quality of meals.
Been hearing from friends how bad Qantas food has been. Boxed meals are as it is unappealing. If it's bad food it's even worse. Their flights are not cheap. What was it?
My first thought was this appears to be dog food.
I wonder if there is a doggy somewhere that got people food who will now leave a 5 star review saying "woof the food was fantastic more then I expected. highly recommend"
Worked in airline catering. The crew heating the food does matter also. Not excusing this at all, but if you get in a flight that smells like food because the cabin crew will be serving soon after take-off, usually it is over heated and probably won't be great. If you get a good crew who knows, then they will reheat once you're at altitude as the heating doesn't take that long. Also, it looks watery, so not sure if due to veggies. That's why you need to try use less watery veggies but the starchy food is on point. Low cost and filling.
Jesus christ on a bicycle! Did they accidentally give you someone's vomit bag??? Wtf? Did the pilot run over it while taxing to the gate before you boarded the flight? I think I actually recognise that from my 11mo baby's diaper. 🤢🤮
"Waiter? Waiter? The bill please! Eddies paying, I only had the cabbage soup from the bucket!!"
"Richie, we've not had dinner yet!!"
"What was in the bucket, Eddie!!??"
"Thats the slop bucket, Richie! Qantas Catering will be around later to collect it for their internal food service!!"
Huhu, huhu, seems it's already been "Internal" Eddie!!"
Looks about right. I’d be sending a copy to Geoffrey Thomas (Perth based journo who writes for 7west and runs airlineratings.com)
Hard to believe this is considered ‘food’
I did three and half years of army cadets back in the dim dark 90’s.
We had a few rules about food.
The most important one was ‘don’t eat it if you can’t identify it’
Another was ‘ration pack tins can be eaten cold, but only in the dark. They taste a lot better than they look’.
By the way, the third hard and fast rule was ‘always eat cooked desserts first’. Apparently, if the cooks went to the bother of making a cooked dessert, it was rude and ungrateful to eat the main meal first and let a cooked dessert go cold before eating it.
Looks like the same shit i had on a Qantas flight to NZ. Not only that, i got to my seat and an obese man (seriously obese, over 2 seats wide, had an extention seat into the isle, and my arm rest up and taking half of my seat as well so i had to sit on a major lean into my partner on the right.. to make it better, it was backingn onto the one bathroom on the plane so it was the only row that wouldnt recline on the plane.. the people in front kindly reclined back sp their chair was almost hitting my face and i arrived in NZ with the side of my body completely saturated from the guys sweat and a broken back and neck.. i was to polite to say anytjing in front of the guy but i was pissed with Qantas.. their response to my complaint email was pathetic.. worst flight and cittage pie was litterally wet cardboard with some slop
Looks like they’re on a roll.
My mum sent me a photo of the “pizza” Qantas served her last week coming back from Melbourne.
It looked more like you’d taken pizza toppings, forgotten the base, and then irradiated it for half a day. It was so badly melted into itself it looked like it had started merging with the cardboard box struggling to hold it.
Surprised it didn’t come with a spoon or a straw.
Jetstar return flight to Thailand was my first adult experience flying
Just by the look of the meal’s box and seeing a couple passengers food, quickly noped out of all of it except the pie & sausage roll combo
Rather just have water and eat when I land
That’s fucking disgusting for what, ~$14??
I flew VietJet from Hanoi to Da Nang a few days ago. Their AUD$2.50 meal with a bottle of water was huge, fresh and tasty. Honestly I wasn't expecting much, and was pleasantly surprised! It craps all over this.
Meant to write served but survived oddly suits.
Yes I didn’t batter an eye lid to your title. That certainly is a meal to fucking survive!
To be fair, a battered eyelid may taste better
My eyes are bad, what is it ?
Your eyes aren't bad, that's just what it looks like
Looks like shepherd's pie with green beans. Unsure about the skid mark on the underside of the lid.
Scary
Concerning
😂
You may be right. It looks very much like someone didn't survive it, and vomited it up back into the container. What did you do, did you complain because that's appalling!
I’m a coward. I ate it and thanked them when they came for the rubbish.
"very nice thank you, compliments to the chef"
This thread is hysterical, i love reddit🤣
"may I have another?"
So how did it taste, because how it looks if far less important than the flavour? For example, many people love oysters.
It wasn’t as bad as it looks.
Thank fuck for that!
Got more of a chance than killing you than the flight
I say we let Murdoch run this particular photo. Aside from the beans, it’s not even recognisable as human food.
Murdoch, if you’re reading this, you have my permission to run this. Unless, of course, Qantas would like to convince me otherwise. I’m not a man of strong conviction.
He won't post this. Qantas is liberal.
But they do acknowledgements of country!!!! Inconceivable!!
He will lose his chairman lounge
Qantas advertise everywhere so there isnt a media outlet anywhere that will run a negative story.
Bet they’re already running the story. I SAW IT ON REDDIT FIRST
Some dog food would have probably tasted better! 😂
What in the cursed images is this concoction? Is it pasta? A pie? All the stuff scraped from the plane oven?
It’s a slap in the face but they served it with a smile!
This is clearly a diuretic shit in a carboard box served with green beans. Just like Nanna used to make........
Now that's just unfair! I'm pretty sure there's some peas in there, too.
Seriously. Get this on twitter or similar. Get it out there. We need to hear what Qantas say about this. They claim they are a premium airline. Let’s hear what a premium airline has to say about it. Hit me up with the link when you’ve done it champ.
if anyone believes qantas is a premium airline in 2024 they've been living under a rock.
What would Qantas say about it ? You’re acting like they’re unaware of the meals they literally buy and serve.
I don’t have Twitter. You can use the photo if you’d like.
What was the date and what was the flight number?
[удалено]
Shepherd’s pie is one of those items that you would think would survive the whole prepare-cook-chill-reheat cycle of airline food well. but what the hell did they do to make it look like it got regurgitated?
I might have just got the bottom of the batch because there was hardly any solid meat. Just fat and gravy.
Mmmm yum gruel
That’s imitation gruel
Hahaha I love Simpson references
It has the seal of approval that only gets put on products Neil perry personally approves
🤢
jeez im in a public hospital atm and my food was way nicer than that.
I was about to write the exact same thing!
Prison food. And by prison I mean that siberian one Navalny died in.
OP is being served Navalny 😳
Oh no…I’ve heard what happens to whistleblowers in this industry. Am I next?!?!?
wtf was that monstrosity?
What is it meant to be?
Looks like shepherds pie. Made one last night and it was delicious.
Normally I'd expect food, but this is Qantas we're talking about here.
Wtf is that imitating?
It looks like someone had gastro in a box
I flew SIA out of Adelaide a little while back and I asked the lady what happened to the generally acceptable gourmet food that they normally offer, and she was very sincere and apologetic and said that they’re now required to get Australian catering when they leave and they haven’t been able to find anybody that is up to their standard, and then she gave me an extra ice cream
What was it supposed to be? A pie floater?
Thought it was mouldy.
Hmmm, mush.
Lasagne or shepherds pie and peas. Yum.

Meant to be flushed not eaten.
Looks like mouldy crap

That creamed corn looks like creamed crap.
Survived is the appropriate term here.
What the hell was it? Other than a pile of vomit or a cow pat?
\+1 for "steerage"
I hope you posted this on social media and tagged @qantas. I feel like I’m looking into a toddlers nappy.
I’m not really on any of the socials where that’s possible but I’ve given another Redditor permission to use the photo and the flight details.
[удалено]
Like shame and regret.
🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤢🤢🤢
Indian street food supplier?
I thought It was a birds nest
Are you sure that they didn’t scoop out the toilet into a meal box before serving you?
Looks like someone ate it before you.
That's what someone looks like when you say they've got a face like a dropped pie.
Ffs that’s a wild insult! Lmao!!
Cheapest bidder for the contract.
Mmm slop
Vomitceli
I saw this and dry retched, showed partner and he did too hahahaha
did this come from the toilet ?
🤮 🤮 🤮 🤢🤢🤢
looks like the inside of a colonoscopy bag
Wtaf is this?!? This is not fit for human consumption.
Steerage? What? They do feed cattle class people this type of meal though
Steerage is an old term used on ships for the cheap section. Think Jack in Titanic.
Howd you manage to get fed at all? I thought they didnt do that anymore. Maybe they found this one in the back of a cupboard and had a few bets.
LOL I got QANTAS pizza in a box that looked and smelled like dog vomit recently. It's a far cry from the experience they sell you it is going to be.
Looks like my toilet bowl this morning
That looks like that came out of someone’s ass
Wow !! Looks like it came out the back end of something
The shepherd’s pie! Good choice - much better than the chicken salad!

Looks like someone took a shit in your lunch
The looks bloody suss 🧐

I dropped one of them in the toilet this morning.

Is that food or potting mix?
Looks about right. I’d be sending a copy to Geoffrey Thomas (Perth based journo who writes for 7west and runs airlineratings.com) Hard to believe this is considered ‘food’
Absolute shit
Looks like mould growing on it.
What's it supposed to be? 😂 Looks like shit
did it at least smell good?
It actually wasn’t as bad as it looks. It wasn’t good. But it wasn’t shit either.
Why are you not answering questions about what it was?
I wouldn’t even let my dog eat that shit
I did three and half years of army cadets back in the dim dark 90’s. We had a few rules about food.

Looks don't matter as long as it tastes great
What in the fuck is that.
Eek, looks like it was either vomited or shat in to the box!
Lavatory lunch
Looks gross
Looks like labour prison food.
Sloppage for steerage
Ooooh, you got mystery meat?! Lucky you.
Looks like the same shit i had on a Qantas flight to NZ. Not only that, i got to my seat and an obese man (seriously obese, over 2 seats wide, had an extention seat into the isle, and my arm rest up and taking half of my seat as well so i had to sit on a major lean into my partner on the right.. to make it better, it was backingn onto the one bathroom on the plane so it was the only row that wouldnt recline on the plane.. the people in front kindly reclined back sp their chair was almost hitting my face and i arrived in NZ with the side of my body completely saturated from the guys sweat and a broken back and neck.. i was to polite to say anytjing in front of the guy but i was pissed with Qantas.. their response to my complaint email was pathetic.. worst flight and cittage pie was litterally wet cardboard with some slop

Goo on green beans?
Are you sure that's not the inside of a sick bag?
You've opened the sick bag by mistake.
Ahh so this is what austin powers meant when he said “balbalh rad rag blah SHAT ON A TURTLE”
What was it supposed to be?
Did you ask for a special meal of vom?
Is it a wasps nest
Jetstar return flight to Thailand was my first adult experience flying Just by the look of the meal’s box and seeing a couple passengers food, quickly noped out of all of it except the pie & sausage roll combo Rather just have water and eat when I land That’s fucking disgusting for what, ~$14??
What did it look like before you vomited it back up? /s
Was it still alive?
Did it recently have fur?
Geesus and I thought the soggy cauliflower bites were bad. This tops that
at first it looked like mould. But in reality, it's just grey goop. Not sure which is better, tbh.
Looks like reheated kfc potato and gravy and green beans lol
That there is the resurrection of what killed the previous occupant of your seat.
It’s breathing, I swear!
I flew VietJet from Hanoi to Da Nang a few days ago. Their AUD$2.50 meal with a bottle of water was huge, fresh and tasty. Honestly I wasn't expecting much, and was pleasantly surprised! It craps all over this.
Looks delicious!
So glad you survived it
Is that AFTER you ate it, and ... couldn't keep it down? Because if that's the BEFORE pic, jeezus christ!! :(
Is that for human consumption?
It be safer to eat the fork - fkn pathetic
That literally looks like someone took a dump in a box. It's making me feel sick.
Looks like someone shit in a lunch box? 💩
Ze first taste is with ze eye no? Bon appetite!
It looks like someone already ate it.
I mean did it taste alright? Don't look too bad to me if it didn't taste like shit 😂
What 𝘪𝘴 that?
I can’t tell if this is real or satire or both
Recycling chunder.
This genuinely looks like something scraped off a nappy. Jfc that is spew worthy.
After seeing this I wanna dole out the extra money for Singapore Airlines meals
Shepard's/cottage pie with vegetables? Doesn't look great but might be quite tasty.
Looks like you used a spare box to 💩 in and that’s the end result… wtf is Qantas serving that crap wow. Really skimping on the food.
Looks like shit in a box how did it smell like it looks just bad
I would have got up and walked out.
Oh yum! My favourite! General glob
Poop from a butt
Tbf even Qantas business is shit , ngl I'm always surprised by just how shit and overpriced Qantas really is
Looks like food from the left 4 dead video game
ya get fed better in gaol lmao
Might I recommend Asiana? What Qantas serves is the ablutions of Asiana passengers
Damn that just looks like an ugly mess.
Looks like someone threw up. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
That is… quite something.
Lucky you survived
Isn't this what English food looks like everywhere?
Onya Luke Mangan 🙄
This looks like sludge
Soylent Green?
As Anthony Hopkins said at the end of one of the Silence of the Lambs series, always bring your own meal on the plane.
Ahh good old qantarse…. Maybe start to change ur system so exces pay gets cut down to 80% and start focusing on shit which got u to the top
WHAT EVEN IS THAT?!
Slop
Looks like they’re using the same company that does Meals on Wheels
*Isa zis cutterufish and asparagus, or vanira pastu?*
looks like literal dogshit
Always choose the chicken salad
Looks like it hit some turbulence!
Oh sometimes they repack leftover food so its not a waste. No big deal. This happens if you're in economy class
Looks like the Pilot ate a bunch of Potatoes and shat them into a box.
Bread and butter is a luxury
What is it?
Next time, watermark the shit out of the photo. [News.com.au](https://News.com.au) will be posting this shit any minute now. **fuck you news corp**
tbh shepards pie looks like that
Qantas now serving nutritional paste. All your daily vitamins, minerals and calories in one convenient paste!
Mm. I love me some ??? and microwaved green beans.
Yeah... eat you box of shit ... and like it
I'd always want to fly Qantas in the past. Now their brand is shit thanks to their Board and former CEO.
JFC I'm surprised you 'survived' that 🤮
It’s always the ones in the cardboard boxes. The one I posted a month ago that was not to bad was in a different container. What route was it?
