And then also, I suppose, as different airlines began to appear, that was how they competed with each other.

And there were still subsidies on airlines then.

So, you know, they were kind of able to push the boat out with food for like, and they call it like the golden era of travel for train and for planes was the early parts of the century.

Well, yeah, I think as the flights got longer and you had to feed people more food, like obviously that's logistically crazy and also expensive.

And as the flights got cheaper, they don't want to spend as much money on food.

You're competing more in price and loyalty points than you are on what you're doing.

And the classes, the levels started to appear.

So it wasn't everyone who flew wasn't still doing luxury.

Like when I started flying, I was like in my late teens, it was still, you always got fed on every flight.

And sometimes depending on who you're with, you could get two or three courses.

But like that then obviously Ryanair, thank you for the cheap flights, but it kind of changed everything.

And the food became an extra add on and not, it's not always included in everything.

Even now on some really long flights, like you always have to check before because there's often some of the American, like transatlantic, your food is not always included.

And your drink is not always.

Aer Lingus do, but like if you're going with other airlines, definitely want to check.

And when you hear it, it makes sense, like because it messes with your senses completely.

The cabin pressure, the dry air, the noise has a huge effect on like how you enjoy and taste because your brain is so busy.

Sorry, filtering out the noise like you're not tasting the same as you do on the ground.

And particularly your sense of smell, which totally changes on a flight.

And when you're eating, like a big part of your taste is your sense of smell.
