Vegetarian meals-but choice wines on AI

As if the ban on eating beef in the country was not enough to ruin moods and appetites, in its latest policy, Air India, hopes to save some Rs 8-10 crore every year by only serving vegetarian fare in their economy class section sectors. Chicken feed ! (pardon the pun!). But there is a twist. Not only did ‘Bibi’ (Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu) contemplate turning vegetarian (‘like my friend PM Modi’) during the latter’s State visit to Israel, but we now have it that Air India will re-train its chefs and bring in a Sommelier to help select wines from Italy, Switzerland and France as also offer mocktails instead of orange juice for non-drinkers.

Happy days are here again !
