HORRIFYING: Snake Head Found In Airline Meal

Sometimes bugs or glass can be found in an inflight meal, but this is terrible. It might be enough to convince me to never eat on a plane again.

There is an incident involving a SunExpress flight from Ankara to Dsseldorf. SunExpress is a joint venture between Turkish Airlines and Lufthansa.

On this particular flight, a crew member claims that they started eating their crew meal and then after a few bites discovered that there was a snake head in the meal The video was shared on the internet.

SunExpress crews have reported that their inflight meals have had bugs in them.

Following the incident, the airline gave a statement.

“It is our top priority that the services we provide to our guests on our aircraft are of the highest quality and that both our guests and employees have a comfortable and safe flight experience. The allegations and shares in the press regarding in-flight food service are absolutely unacceptable and a detailed investigation has been initiated on the subject. Until the research process in question is concluded, all preventive measures and actions, including stopping the supply of the relevant product, have been taken immediately.”

Airline catering company defends itself

Sun Express uses Sancak Inflight Services in Ankara. According to the company, the dishes are cooked at a temperature of around 280 degrees Celsius, but they couldn't have come from the kitchen. The statement is here.

“SunExpress Airlines is a valuable client in our country and a popular airline in Europe, which recently decided to further expand its fleet and route network. They again announced a tender for catering services on board. We did not use any of the foreign objects that were supposedly in the food when cooking (due to the technical and thermal conditions used in the in-flight catering facilities).”

According to the company, the snake head must have been added after the fact.

My take on this airplane meal snake head incident

I don't know if I can emphasize enough how scared I am of snakes, so this is my worst nightmare, short of having a live snake pop out of my in flight meal.

I don't know what to think of this story. Is the snake head in the dish when it was prepared, or was it added later by a crew member? There are a few thoughts in no order.

• A snake head doesn’t seem like something you’d naturally just randomly find in a meal; it’s not like a worm or a cockroach
• This almost seems like something that someone with a vendetta would place in a meal; that could be someone in the catering facility, someone responsible for bringing catering to the plane, or a crew member
• You’d think that a crew member could get in trouble for sharing something so terrible about an airline on social media, rather than just privately reporting it to the airline, no?

I don't know what to think of this, but I have to think of a snake head in an inflight meal.

Bottom line

The worst thing that has ever happened to an inflight meal is a Sun Express crew member's claim that they were served a meal with a snake head. The airline says that it is investigating the incident, while the Catering company says that there is no way that this came from its kitchen.

I want to know how this plays out. I don't want to think that someone would add something like this after the fact, but I also don't want to think that someone would add something like this after the fact.

What do you think of this event?
