LOL: United Airlines Now Has A Cookbook

Boy, I really wish I could prepare that meal I had on United Airlines at home…

…said no one ever.

Well, apparently United disagrees, as the United Shop is now selling the United Polaris Cookbook. It can be had for $29.99, and is the perfect Christmas gift for someone you don’t really like.

Here’s how the cookbook is described:

The United Polaris Cookbook features a collection of mouthwatering recipes inspired by the United Polaris onboard dining experience. With over 40 recipes from United’s Executive Chefs and chefs from The Trotter Project, you’re sure to fall in love with the ingredients, techniques and flavors of these culinary creations.

I mean, I would be sort of curious to read the cookbook:

  • When it talks about ingredients, does it recommend buying the absolute lowest quality meat possible?
  • Does it have a recipe for a “seasonal salad,” which just happens to be the same in every season?
  • Does it come with a recommendation to be unnecessarily loud in the kitchen, and when your guests ask what you’ve made, you just stare at them blankly?
  • Does it suggest announcing to your guests at a dinner party that you’re primarily there for their safety?

😉

In all honesty, the United Shop actually has some good stuff. For example, I love the Polaris blanket, and have bought a couple of them.

But I’ve gotta say, I don’t think this cookbook is among the gems to be found in the United Shop, unless you’re looking for a gag gift…

Several years ago - American Airlines sent Plat Exec members a xmas gift of their first class dining 'cookbook' They actually showed a recipe on how to make ice cream sundae in a glass!! Thought it was fun...United does try to use name chef - guess they are trying to show what it really should be..I am a ua 1k lifer and aa gold lifer -- lots of sundaes and 'sorry not available'!!

I do appreciate the humor, but there are some very tasty Polaris business class meals. And I'm certain not having to cook, blast chill, cover with foil, slowly reheat and then consume--all in an atmosphere where your taste buds are dulled.... will add to the perceived taste and quality.

If your dinner guests refuse to leave after having one of these delicious Polaris meals, call the local cops to have them dragged across the dining room floor kicking and screaming.

This is one of the funniest posts for some time! I just came back from back to back flights in Swiss Air business and United Polaris hard product, and it was a reminder how the rest of the world compares with the big three US airlines (who do not seem to have a clue about the outside world). The biggest improvements for United are no doubt the Polaris lounges for international business class, and I pity the domestic United Club members who suffer next door. The new Polaris seats are excellent, but the food and service are slowly degrading. The "seasonal" dishes are as Lucky said not changed much of the year, the wines promised on the printout often not available and the flight attendants hardly know the difference. The last hilarious change was no nuts on the ice cream - possibly the next change is omitting even the ice cream itself.
