Ungawatholaphi ama-diner ane-palates okunzima ukuwajabulisa? Zama izinyawo ezingu-30,000 ngaphezu komhlaba.
Njengoba izinkampani zezindiza zilwela amanani aphakeme kaphethiloli kanye nokuncintisana okuqinisayo, zizama ukunikeza ukudla okwanelisa okwengeziwe endizeni ngomzamo wokukhulisa ukwethembeka kwabagibeli. Izinkampani zenethiwekhi ezifana ne-Delta Air Lines Inc. zikhipha amarisiphu abapheki osaziwayo ezindizeni eziningi kuyilapho i-US Airways Inc. itshala izithako zekhwalithi ephezulu. Noma kunjalo, kunzima ukwenza ukudla kube mnandi ngoba abapheki bezindiza babhekana nezinselele ozakwabo ezindaweni zokudlela ezisezingeni eliphansi ababhekana nazo.
"Sinemikhawulo kulokho esingakwenza," kusho umpheki wodumo waseBoston u-Todd English, owenza ngendlela oyifisayo amasemishi namasaladi e-Delta. Lokho kusho ukuthi ukudla kwamaNgisi endizeni kugcina kungathandeki kunokudla okutolikayo kwaseMedithera azakhela udumo ngakho: “Into ethuthuka kakhulu esayenza kwaba isaladi yespaghetti esimnyama somnqumo.”
Uhlu lwezingqinamba abapheki bezindiza okufanele bazinqobe lude. Okokuqala, abapheki bezindiza kufanele bengeze isinongo esengeziwe ngenxa yokuthi ikhono labagibeli lokubona ukunambitheka lifiphele ngamaphesenti angu-15 ukuya kwangu-40 kumamitha angu-30,000. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukudla okuningi kudinga ukuphekwa amahora ambalwa ngaphambi kokusuka futhi kushiswe futhi kuhhavini yokuhambisa imizuzu engu-20, okungama ujusi wemvelo wemvelo. Futhi amasoso ebhotela nokhilimu ahlukana phakathi lapho eshiselwa kabusha, ngakho lawo avame ukushiywa ngaphandle.
Noma kunjalo, izinkampani zezindiza onyakeni odlule noma ngaphezulu bezizama ukwenza ukudla kwazo kube mnandi. I-Delta ibambisene nomunye umpheki osaziwayo, owayeyisihlabani seFood Network uMichelle Bernstein, owengeza ukunambitheka ngokupheka ubhatata ngejinja ewuswidi. Futhi i-US Airways iphonsa izingcezu ezigayiwe zebele lenkukhu elisha kumasaladi ayo, kunokuthembela kumaqatha enkukhu eqandisiwe.
Ukugxila okuvuselelwe kokudla kuza ngemva kweminyaka engaphezu kweshumi yokuwohloka kwenkonzo yokudla endizeni, okwaba kubi kakhulu lapho izindiza eziningi zase-US zilahla ukudla kwamahhala kubaqeqeshi ezindizeni zasekhaya ngemva kokuhlasela kwamaphekula ngoSepthemba 11 kwafaka imboni emsileni wezezimali. Imali esetshenziswe izindiza zaseMelika ekudleni naseziphuzweni yehle ngamaphesenti angama-43 kusukela ngo-1992, lapho ibingu-$5.92 umgibeli ngamunye. Ngo-2006, izindiza eziyisishiyagalolunye ezinkulu bezichitha kuphela u-$3.40 umgibeli ngamunye, ngokusho kwe-US Bureau of Transportation Statistics.
Ukudla kwezindiza sekuyisikhathi eside kuyihlaya, futhi abanye bathi idumela libafanele. Umdidiyeli wamasonto onke u-Alan E. Gold waseBurlington usikhumbula kahle isidlo asidla ngoDisemba – “esinye lalawa masangweji okugoqa – ngicabanga ukuthi kwakuwutamatisi omiswe yilanga. Kwakuyizinto ezinobuthi. Yayipakishwe kusengaphambili, futhi lonke uketshezi lwahlala phansi.”
Abanye abagibeli baze bathanda ukudla ezindiza. Kwa-airlinemeals.net, abahambi ezinkampaneni zezindiza ezingu-536 balayishe izifinyezo ezingu-18,821 zokudla kwabo kwasemoyeni kusukela ngasekupheleni kuka-2001 futhi bagxeka okuthandayo, ukwakheka, nezingxenye. Umgibeli ku-Alaska Airlines ubonise ubufakazi be-burrito yasekuseni “encane” kanye “ne-lackluster”. Khonamanjalo, i-US Airways diner eyadla isidlo sasemini senkukhu endizeni yamazwe ngamazwe yango-2006 yakhala ngokuthi "i-entree ibishisa ngokwanele kodwa i-WAY inosawoti kakhulu" futhi i-almond cannoli ehambisana nayo "yayimnandi kakhulu."
Kuwubuqili ukunxephezela ama-taste buds ngaphandle kokuwenza ngokweqile. Ukuthatha amasampula okudla ebhodini kungaba ukhiye. “Ngithathe indiza nganambitha ukudla. Ngangingakholwa ukuthi yinto efanayo,” kusho uBernstein. "Emhlabathini, ongakuthola kuwusawoti futhi okubabayo futhi kuphaphathekile okune-flavourful uma kuqhathaniswa uma usendizeni."
Izinsiza Ezinhlobene
Xoxani ngokuthi izinkampani zezindiza kufanele zenzeni ukuze zithuthukise ukudla kwe-inflight?
izindaba eziningi ezinjengaleziNgenxa yalokho, "Ngifaka ama-shallots ne-garlic cishe yonke into," kusho uBernstein.
Imishini yokwenza ukudla kwendiza ingabulala ubuhlakani bompheki. UBernstein wayeka ukuzama ukuhlanganisa ukudla okushisayo nokubandayo. Isizathu? Asikho isikhala sekhabhinethi esanele noma isikhathi sokuba izikhonzi zendiza zibeke phezulu izinhlanzi ezishiswe kabusha nge-salsa epholile. Futhi ngenkathi ephakamisa i-gazpacho emhlophe ethandwa abahloli bezindiza bezindiza, isidlo cishe ngeke singene kumenyu. “Ngokwenqubo, kunzima kakhulu,” ephefumulela phezulu. "Lapho izindiza zikhuphuka, i-gazpacho ingase iphume enkomishini."
Ngisho nokwakha ikhofi elimnandi kubonise ikhono le-Dunkin' Donuts, enikeze uhlobo lwayo ezindizeni ze-JetBlue Airways Corp. iminyaka emibili. Amanzi abila emazingeni okushisa aphansi ezindaweni eziphakeme, kodwa izilungiselelo zomshini wekhofi ongaphakathi azikwazi ukushintshwa. Ikhofi yangaphakathi endizeni nayo inganambitheka ehlekisayo ngemva kokwenziwa emanzini asekhulile esiswini sendiza. Ngakho-ke, i-Dunkin' Donuts kwadingeka ilungise isilinganiso samanzi nezizathu zekhofi elingaphakathi endizeni futhi isebenzise amanzi asetshenziswa ngesistimu yokuhlunga engaphakathi.
Naphezu kwezinselelo, abapheki baphikisa ngokuthi ukudla sekuthuthukile. “Ngikhumbula izinsuku lapho uthola ucezu lwenyama engaqondakali embozwe isoso ngemifino,” kusho u-Bob Rosar, umpheki omkhulu webhizinisi no-Gate Gourmet, ongumpheki wesibili ngobukhulu endizeni emhlabeni. "Lezo zinsuku zihambile."
Intatheli ethathe isampula yokudla kwendiza phansi ithole i-quiche ye-American Airlines Inc. egcwele isoseji lesi-Portuguese, amakhowe e-shiitake, noshizi we-Monterey Jack okunenhliziyo, okunokhilimu, nokunambitheka. Isitsha esisayindayo sompheki osaziwayo waseHawaii u-Sam Choy sinikezwa esigabeni sokuqala nesamabhizinisi kwezinye izindiza. Ukudla kwesiNgisi kwakukuhle ngokwanele ukuthi kudliwe nsuku zonke, ikakhulukazi isemishi le-apula bhotela croissant elimanzi eline-cheddar, i-turkey, nobhekeni ngesidlo sasekuseni kanye nesaladi laseMedithera elinemfanzi eyosiwe yokudla kwasemini.
Esinye sezidlo zikaBernstein's Delta - ubambo olufushane oluboshwe ngewayini elibomvu - sidume kakhulu kangangokuthi siletha amapheshana endaweni yakhe yokudlela yase-Miami, i-Michy's. Mayelana nezinhlobonhlobo, i-Delta maduze izoshintsha i-entree ifake entsha - mhlawumbe inhlanzi ka-Bernstein eboshwe ngejinja, umango oluhlaza, utamatisi, ingcosana yekhari, i-jalapeno, kanye nobisi lukakhukhunathi olungenaswidi.
U-Bernstein uthanda isidlo senhlanzi kakhulu waze wasingeza kumenyu ka-Michy. Noma kunjalo, “Ngayishintsha kancane,” evuma. Inguqulo enikezwa ezingeni lolwandle ifakwe isaladi ye-papaya eluhlaza ebandayo, ukubhanqa okushisayo nokubanda lokho "Angicabangi ukuthi ngingakwenza endizeni ye-Delta."
