Flying burgers

British Airways says that there are few greater culinary delights than a juicy burger.  Customers can now enjoy the airline’s first specially created gourmet burger on flights. That is if you are flying First Class.
 
The ‘Flying Burger’ recipe has been specially honed by British Airways chefs over the past 10 months.  The team of chefs use three different cuts of British beef to ensure full flavour, even at 35,000ft, where your ability to taste reduces by 30%. 
 
Mark Tazzioli, British Airways’ chef, said: “Burgers are experiencing a renaissance right now, with pop up burger bars and food trucks opening in all the major cities. Burgers are the ultimate tasty satisfying treat and ‘comfort food’ we crave when flying.
 
“It has taken months of trials to ensure we get the perfect texture and succulence, not just for the British palate, but for the hundreds of other nationalities that fly with us.  As taste buds are affected at altitude, we have created an original patty, which has proven extremely popular in taste-tests.”
 
Served with a side of triple cooked chips and choice of relishes, the ‘Flying Burger’ is also being served as ‘Grounded Burger’ in the First and Concorde lounges.  www.ba.com
