After an hour layover in Salt Lake city airport I’m now aboard a newer jet (CRJ900) cruising above Utah.
The flight attendent presented me with an oblong package labeled “ENJOY”. When I asked what was inside she confessed she had no idea. The mystery package contained two types of crackers, gronola, some sort of foul paste (spread) and a miniture butterknife.
Less than an hour previous I was subjected to another Utah dining oddity durning my layover at the Salt Lake City airport. We stopped at a bagelry sandwhich shop and ordered a tasty looking roastbeef, minus the onions from some individuals who aren’t likely Jeopardy contestants.
To my suprise I discovered that in addition to the cheese, lettace and tomatoe there was an an abundance of shredded carrots in there.
As I delved deeper into the sandwhich, carrot shrapnel exploding with each bite, I found cucumber slices and some sort of red squishy vegetable matter which I can’t identify. It was more of a salad between bread and some roast beef tossed in as an afterthought.
Oh goody. Again the stewardess presents a packaged treat of unknown properties. Apparently a desert of some type.
Whoa! Only minutes later she makes a third snack trip, this time I save myself the trauma and simply refuse whatever it is she’s caring.
This flight has presented me with more food then the 4 hour flights to the east coast. Are they trying to fatten us up? Perhaps she’s up there reading “How to serve man”.

Now I’m looking forward to my DC flights even more. I get the center seat both legs, both ways too.
I’m sorry, Al, but you lost my sympathy with the whole, “sitting there in first class” thing. No matter how bad it seems, flying coach is definitely worse.
