Ärende: EATING AT AIRPORTS 55
=============================
 GJ> When passing through most transit airports I am mainly occupied by
 GJ> travelling the full length and breadth of each, as arrival and
 GJ> departure gates seem to be deliberately chosen to be at opposite ends
 GJ> of the terminal, perhaps to ensure that passengers exercise their legs
 GJ> and stave off formation of blood clots.

There is that tendency, and I always wondered whether it was
malignancy on the part of the aircraft schedulers or merely
Murphy at work.

   When last in KL, Narita, and
 GJ> Copenhagen for stop-overs, I ate in airport hotels, where I stayed for
 GJ> the night.

Some of which are actually all right.

 GJ> I have had good reports from friends about Cambodia as a tourist
 GJ> destination.  Did you have much chance to explore the culinary and
 GJ> other attractions of the country while there?

Not much. I was keen on looking for fried spiders, but
that might have spooked my traveling companion. We made
the eggs-and-toast breakfast offered by our hotel last
a good long time and got most of our calories during the
day through beer.

 ML> My last meal in an international airport:
 ML> LHR Galleries Terminal 3
 GJ> That looks like a properly balanced 5 course meal.  I presume your
 GJ> assessment of Heathrow was at least in part based on that breakfast?

You presume incorrectly: I can get such a meal at most airports.
My assessment of Heathrow was based on Caviar House (as here
corroborated by someone else), which offers wonderful oysters
as well, and the excellent steak frites one can get Chez Gerard.
Thursday I get to investigate the offerings at Terminal 5.

 GJ> Of other international airports where I have eaten and drunk recently,
 GJ> I rate Barcelona, Vienna, Amsterdam, Christchurch and Adelaide as
 GJ> fair.  Reasonable food at Charles de Gaulle still didn't make up for
 GJ> the general inconvenience of that horrible airport.

I'd put Christchurch into the poor category, and Vienna's
offerings looked pretty sparse. At the former, though,
the Koru club offered some respite, and in Vienna there
is always the Senator Lounge.

Puto-Steamed cakes

2 c Bisquick
