Flight passenger horrified by ‘unappetizing’ vegan in-flight meal: ‘Worse than it looked’

This was some serious kitchen fishing.

Airplane food at its best isn’t exactly haute cuisine. However, a RyanAir passenger has sworn off ordering grub on the airline after receiving a terrible in-flight meal that looked nothing like his photo.

“I’m never ordering this again,” passenger Eleonora Juhos, 29, captioned the clip, which currently boasts thousands of views on TikTok.

The Slovakian resident reportedly ordered the dish, a vegan lasagna, while flying from Vienna, Austria, to Tenerife, Spain, Newsweek reported.


"Although I didn't have high expectations, I was surprised at how unappealing the meal looked," Juhos recalled while describing the poor dish, revealed above in a viral TikTok video.

It’s one of many offerings at the low-cost carrier along with Thai green curry, baguettes and grilled cheese sandwiches.

“This was my first time [ordering food]even though I’ve flown with them many times,” the trialist told Newsweek “Since this flight was more than five hours, I decided to give it a try and the only vegetable option was lasagna.”

She was excited to try the multi-tiered pasta, which looked pretty tasty in the in-flight magazine — plus it was only about $16, a real steal amid inflation.

What arrived, however, was a complete mess.

The accompanying video compared the eye-catching menu photo of the lasagna to the dish she received, which included a smooth, plastic-looking quagmire of cheese and less-than-appealing sauce.

To complicate matters, the revolting repast tasted “even worse than it looked,” Juhos told Newsweek.

“Although I didn’t have high expectations, I was surprised at how unappetizing the meal looked,” she recalls. “Unfortunately, it didn’t taste better.”

She explained that the lasagna only had “a few little pieces of zucchini [zucchini] in a watery sauce like ketchup.”

The predicament evoked the late Ray Liotta’s final speech from Martin Scorsese’s 1990 opus Goodfellas: “I ordered some spaghetti with marinara sauce and got noodles with egg and ketchup.”

Juhos wasn’t expecting much for the price of a budget carrier, but she thought “the presentation in Ryanair’s in-flight magazine and on the packaging was quite misleading”.

Viewers were similarly horrified by the in-flight food, with one commenting “that’s…horrible”.

“This was different than I expected,” added another.

Others weren’t so shocked that a low-cost carrier would serve something so unappetizing.

“Yeah it looks about right,” one viewer noted, while another wrote: “Oh food Ryanair, I wish I had warned you.”

“Lesson learned, I won’t make the same mistake again,” Juhos replied.

The Slovakian didn’t expect any compensation for her delicious lasagna, so she neglected to take up the matter with crew members, instead opting to voice her complaint through Ryanair’s post-flight survey.

The Post has contacted Ryanair for comment.

This isn’t the first time a budget airline’s cannibalistic offerings have left a passenger high and dry.

In March, a vegetarian traveler flew off the handle after an unnamed airline served them a “vegan” option consisting of slices of reserved cucumber and tomato from a dry bun.
