Regarding airline meals, the traditional inquiry remains fish or chicken? Most travelers favor chicken, leaving those served later with only seafood alternatives. To address this situation, flight attendants employ a strategic method when chicken supplies are exhausted.

They inform passengers that the fish represents a specialty creation, prepared exclusively for this particular flight by the onboard "culinary expert." This diplomatic technique makes the seafood option sound premium and more desirable. By presenting it as a distinctive selection, attendants help passengers feel content with their meal, regardless of whether it matched their initial preference.
