 * Reason:Definitely high EV for the article its on. As well as looking amazing. A real contrast from those "What's the deal with airline food?" jokes. Would be a great addition to the Food and Drink section of FP.
 * Articles in which this image appears:Airline meal
 * FP category for this image:Featured pictures/Food and drink
 * Creator:Austrian Airlines


 * Support as nominator – GamerPro64  14:56, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Support Now that's what our food & drink FP category is missing. The description, however, should list those yummies, as I can't identify them all. Brandmeistertalk  15:18, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment First class or coach? It probably makes a difference. Adam Cuerden (talk) 15:50, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
 * It seems to be extra for people traveling Economy Class. source. GamerPro64  16:02, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment the description list: "© Austrian Airlines Group", not sure if that's a problem. I know that the file was uploaded to Flickr using a CC compatible licence, however it's a bit odd that it states copyrighted in the description. ///Euro Car  GT  02:42, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Support - Useful, very useful. Yes, this is certainly not economy class. The copyright symbol is not inherently incompatible with a CC license; CC license are also copyright licenses, and some people mark their copyright with the (c) symbol. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:57, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the clarification. ///Euro Car  GT  15:47, 12 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Support - Eh, With strawberries and chocolate sauce? No, not economy class. Description should go something like this: Parma ham and hard cheese, cold cuts, salami, olive, pickled herring, tomato sallad (?), grilled vegetables (paprika, zuccini and fennel),  buns, jam, strawberries and chocolate sauce and mineral water. Yummie. Hafspajen (talk) 10:20, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I think the tomato salad is pico de gallo. GamerPro64  14:42, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Actually, are we positive that the stuff at the top is jam? It is rather disappointing that what is shown wasn't originally explained. GamerPro64  00:46, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Use to be jam in all kinds of Airline Food. Chili can't be. Hafspajen (talk) 13:18, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Where is the jam? I don't see any ... 86.160.83.143 (talk) 02:40, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
 * The menu is: boquerones, olive tapenade, sun-ripened tomatoes and fresh basil in olive oil, jamon, manchego, fuet, chorizo​​, grilled vegetables, chocolate mousse, fresh strawberries, and freshly baked bread basket according to the Tapas menu here (so no jam apart from the jam-on; hilarious bi-lingual pun; ten cuidado you don't laugh your cabeza off). Belle (talk) 23:13, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Added the menu into the description. Thank you Belle for finding that out. GamerPro64  00:19, 21 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Support I should start flying Austrian Airlines... -- ///Euro Car GT  15:47, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Support - per EuroCarGT--Godot13 (talk) 05:24, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm somewhat worried about the illustrations at Airline meal - they're all on the high end, higher-fare meals, from smaller carriers, save the one. It's not a particularly representative sampling. Adam Cuerden (talk) 10:08, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
 * If security doesn't jump me for packing a canon in my carry-on (*ouch that hurt*), I'll try and get something when I fly back to Canada in December. But yeah, it's not going to be FP quality. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 16:11, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I'd have to agree with that sentiment. After the uproar over the Big Mac a month ago, this seems to confirm the reviewer bias. It is a rather commercial shot, which functions as a plug for the airline ("I should start flying Austrian Airlines..."). It looks very little like the fare most travelers will see. 24.222.214.125 (talk) 00:38, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
 * You have a point. The food was made by Do & Co, a catering company that provides the food for the airline. But you can also say that this image can be a plug for Do & Co, which, according to its article, provides "services through its restaurants, bars, lounges, and hotels." GamerPro64  00:42, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
 * One problem is that essentially anything can be seen as a "plug" for something. Mona Lisa? Plug for the Louvre. The God's Eye? Plug for NASA and its telescopes. This one has a bit more commercial value than the two (admittedly extreme) examples I brought up, but so did the jet engine we let fly through a couple years ago. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:18, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I think this is different from those cases: this was produced by Austrian Airlines not a neutral party, and is a product that can be accessed much more easily than a jet engine. The quote I used was directly from one of the reviewers here - it seemed poignant. 24.222.214.125 (talk) 14:32, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I like it, and discussion is long enough now. Recently we blocked an editor because it turned nominations into articles. Keep discussion to essential. Also if that same editor would be using IPs (as before) to comment that would be socking. Not helpful.   Hafspajen (talk) 11:32, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I assure you Hafspajen that I am not a sock. And that I have been involved with this project on and off, with and without an account for longer than most (5 years now). The discussion doesn't have a character limit, I think you should apologize for implying my comments were unessential or unhelpful - or at the very least provide some evidence. Otherwise, welcome to the encyclopedia that anyone can edit. 24.222.214.125 (talk) 14:32, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Bless you my child if you say the thruth. No, not anyone - not if somebody is blocked. Hafspajen (talk) 16:25, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Then you've no bone to pick with me. 24.222.214.125 (talk) 18:31, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Bird bones, are those? Hafspajen (talk) 00:08, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
