Some questions for GateGourmet

20. November 2019 Jeffrey-Medina-de-la-Rosa Step 2 Research, Team Food Specials, TZ19 Zurich (1)

Dear Cowboys and Cowgirls

For our Project "Airplane food and it's production" we reached out to GateGourmet, the company which produces the majority of airplane food in Switzerland. In the attachement you'll find the mail we've sent them.

For the international cowboys and cowgirls which don't understand german we leave you the questions that we've asked GateGourmet below:

  • How can a salad stay fresh in 10’000 meters a.s.l.?
  • Does the food lose it’s healthy ingredients?
  • Do the producers look out for seasonal and resourceable meals?
  • How much energy do they need to reheat the meals in the aircraft?

There is some more work in progress sooo stay tuned!

Regards

Jeffrey & Loris

    Howdy partners, great work! I'm looking forward to GateGourmet's response.

    I hope you don't mind if I help you correct the English translation of your questions?

    How can a salad stay fresh at an altitude of 10 kilometers?
    Do the ingredients lose any of their vitamins or minerals?
    Do the producers keep in mind the seasonality and the sustainability of the meals?
    Approximately, how much energy is used to reheat the meals in the aircraft?

    And remember: if you climb in the saddle, be ready for the ride!
    Yee-haw!
