Description

[AD - contains gift, explanation below] Why does food taste different on a plane? ✈️🍽️ Chefs Ben and Kush are testing the BIG question properly: we taste the EXACT same meal on the ground, then eat it again in the air to see what altitude really does to flavour. With help from experts and an airline catering facility, we break down the science of taste at 35,000ft - and what chefs can do to make food taste better when you fly. 👨‍🍳 Want more “real-world tests”? Watch this next: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdl_7HWMrnc Thanks to Singapore Airlines for the gifted flights - we thought about this idea a long time ago and have been trying to find a way to get it 'off the ground' ever since, so after contacting numerous airlines we were over the moon when we reached out to Singapore Airlines and they said they'd put us in touch with their catering company, DNata. To then gift us a couple of plane tickets to try the food in the air and give permission to film the whole thing was a complete bonus - so a massive thanks to Singapore Airlines and DNata for helping us make this happen! #SortedFood #AirplaneFood #FoodScience #TasteTest #TravelFood
