I had food poisoning from a PanAm flight.


I had food poisoning from a 'restaurant' at ORD.
(which isn't in Europe)

I also had an upset stomach whilst on a flight from Peru to Amsterdam.
(which is Europe)

My local Indian restaurant and takeaway is in Europe. Rumours that
terrorist organisations are negotiating for the chicken jalfrezi
recipe are currently being investigated.

Again this comes down to being certain it was that food. Presumably
you had been eating other stuff in the days leading up to the flight,
yeah?

I'm not surprised. I avoided flying with them after that and I suspect
neither did any of the other passengers. It was the worst flight I
ever had in 40 years of flying.
Incredibly rude stewardesses, no beer on the flight, and absolutely
disgusting food. The food was probably prepared in Heathrow.


A flight from hell. I did get the feeling years ago that PanAm had
degenerated into an airline which mainly served the interests
of their employees. I had a friend who use to always fly PanAm,
swore by it.

We only took it once, on a short flight, in first class. We had our
small dachs with us, who normally flew in his own carrier with us
in the cabin. The PanAm checkin staff insisted that he was too large
and had to fly in their box, in any case. So we showed them he would
fit in "their box" and they let us take the flight.

To contrast to that behavior, we once took Air France first class from
NY to Paris. Same dog but in our carrier. Shortly after takeoff
a flight attendant (French) said that we "certainly weren't going to
keep" our little toutou stay closed up in the horrible box for the flight.
So we let him out. Later on, after dinner, the same person came
up and said that unfortunately they were out of lamb but would our
dog like some sliced duck?

Certainly!

This, of course, occurs at three star restaurants in France, our
dogs have been served with food on silver plates at times.
Years ago we bought a book VIP Chiens, which listed all the places
in France which accept dogs.

We often had an upset stomach after travelling with KLM from Adam to
Milan. By a process of elimination we worked out that it was caused by
the orange juice.


Mine started before the flight (it was probably the cebiche) so was
definately not KLM's fault, my dilema was do I stay in Peru have all the
hassles of insurance claims for the missed flight and try out Lima's
healthcare system, or see if I can get to the airport without collapsing and
survive until getting home. The latter worked.

PanAm was a different story, I was so ill I wanted to die.


Hopefully my Virgin flight later today will be upset stomach free.

Subject: Airline food with carrots blamed for food poisoning

Mine started before the flight (it was probably the cebiche) so was
definately not KLM's fault, my dilema was do I stay in Peru have all the
hassles of insurance claims for the missed flight and try out Lima's
healthcare system, or see if I can get to the airport without collapsing

and
survive until getting home. The latter worked.


Cebiche is devastating. I ate it just once, here in France, at a place
called Café Pacifico, which served Mexican/South American food. I ate the
cebiche. Later in the evening, I had one of the worst food poisoning
reactions I have ever had. My face swelled. My throat started to close.
That one really frightened me, but fortunately I still had enough time to
take some prescription antihistamines I had left over from another

problem.
My throat swelling subsided, and I made it through the night without

having
to call SOS Médecins, our emergency medical service that comes to the

house.
The next day I went to a regular doctor, someone I didn't know because my
own doctor was on vacation, he was on call. He asked me to show him a

photo
of myself, so he could know what I normally looked like. It was that bad.

Moral of the story. Stay away from cebiche.


Especially in the back streets of Lima.

That's very nice for you and your dogs. For those who are allergic to
dogs, it could be far less pleasant. At least in a restaurant, they can
leave. On a flight, it's more difficult to do so. I didn't know airlines
still allowed animals in the main cabin. I have to say, I've never seen
it happen, but I've noticed animals in boxes at airports- for flights
going to the UK, I wouldn't expect to, for obvious reasons.

I've never had a problem, but I don't think I've ever eaten it in a
restaurant either- always had it homemade- by Peruvians! I've also made
it myself (albeit usually under Peruvian supervision!)- it's one of my
favourite seafood dishes in fact. It sounds more like this is a hygeine
problem with the restaurants- I'm assuming for example that raw fish
doesn't affect you similarly?

Although home made ceviche will even keep overnight in the fridge with
no problem, it's one of the reasons I've never been too keen on ordering
it in a restaurant- that is, it is by its nature prepared in advance.
