Kamala Harris’s staff complains about food quality on Air Force Two

| April 6, 2023

Kamala Harris’s staff, who fly on Air Force Two on official Vice President related trips, received word of the kind of foods consumed on Air Force One. Those who accompanied Joe Biden on his flights on this airplane enjoy food like filet mignon and similar hot delicacies served on gold rim plates. They also get beers with these meals. By contrast, Harris’s staff on Air Force Two receive entrées like “soggy sandwiches” provided in brown paper bags. No beers.

From The Telegraph:

Staffers working for Kamala Harris are revolting over the inferior quality of lunches on Air Force Two, the vice president’s plane.

It comes after news emerged that their counterparts in the president’s office, who travel on Air Force One, are served filet mignon and other hot delicacies on gold-rimmed plates, accompanied by cold beers.

Ms Harris’s staff say they get soggy sandwiches in brown paper bags – and no booze.

“It’s a little more Southwest Airlines than Four Seasons,” a former staffer told Politico, describing it as “horrible slop.”

Some apparently don’t eat the meals at all. It’s a source of discontent for some of her aides who are required to travel frequently.

The Telegraph has additional information.

Speaking as a former P-3 aircrewman, “Welcome to my world!”

I particularly loved the box lunches we got from the chow hall. We were able to play the fascinating game, “Name that chicken part!”

Ahhh! Good times….good times!

And as a former af fuel truck driver, box lunches delivered to you by a boss consisted of a baloney and cheese on white bread, bag of chips and a maybe cold soda..

Chicken would have been a luxury.

And I take offense for Southwest airlines from that staffer’s comments– I had their Visa card and got drink coupons for free beers flying with them (Sw certainly does have beer).

“Name that chicken part!”

That’s easy… The Nugget.

You know you’ve been a crew dog too long when you know what the entree in the box nastie was based on the aroma of the post meal flatulence.

Issue them MREs for inflight use, the ones without the bean componenet

And no jalapeño cheese spread.
Veggie omelets only.

Well if they weren’t complaining about something I’d be worried….that’s all these folks do is complain about how difficult their soft, privileged lives are in these United States…

Try growing up without food security and building a life from a foundation of poverty, then get back to me about how “awful” it is to fly on Air Force Two while you’re supposed to be serving the people of these United States and not pissing and moaning about the quality of the food provided at no charge.

As far as I’m concerned those little piggies can take a bus!

Nah, let em walk.

I’ll bet stuff was much better when Hunter was on there.

I’m quite certain they’re free to bring their own food if they’d prefer. Of course, that’s not paid by the taxpayers and served to them by professional American airmen.

I always preferred Subway over the Air Force “Box Nasties” myself, there was one walking distance from the Dover terminal.

Maybe they could upgrade to the frozen TV dinners in the foil trays that were baked in an oven and served to us aboard our C-141B on our deployment flight to Somalia. I can guarantee that MRE’s tasted like gourmet food after three of those meals in one marathon flight. Every item on the tray was scalded, overcooked, or dried out. Hey, if it’s good enough for soldiers, it’s good enough for the VP.

MustangCPT

So here’s my observation/question, they’re expecting to be able to drink during lunch? Must be nice. Don’t get me wrong, I usually have a bottle of “desk whisky” but it’s paid for on MY dime and it only comes out AFTER the duty day is over.

Roh-Dog

I’m surprised Vice Chancellor Hoeass ain’t complaining that the food service is nothing but hotdogs, sausages, and bananas –all served whole– to be consumed without chewing.

She is a giant piece of shit and anyone that spends more than 5 minutes around her is forever tainted unless they get a full doucheorcism performed.

Remember folks, stolen elections have consequences!!

TopGoz

“doucheorcism”… Classic!

Odie

Stealing that.

As an Army guy all I can say is that’s why God created Tabasco sauce.

rgr769

Every couple of weeks when we were in the bush, we would receive this little box with about 24 mini-bottles of Tabasco sauce with our C-rat resupply. There were also a dozen or so of those Tabasco C-rat cookbooks in the bottom of the box. Tabasco made most C-rats edible, except for ham n’ mofos.

A Proud Infidel®™

Whenever one of us got an MRE that tasted like dogshit, we of course added the Tabasco Sauce ant then it tasted like SPICY fresh dogshit!

timactual

“ham n’ mofos.”

Ummmmm.
My favorite.
I never went hungry, there was always some sissy who would rather go hungry than eat Ham & MFs.
I cook up a batch now and then.Not quite the same, though. Not enough GAA (Grease, Automotive and Artillery) I suppose. I tell my cardiologist the Tabasco sauce counteracts the grease, but I can tell he doesn’t believe me. And he has the angiograms to prove it, unfortunately.
I also preferred apricots to peaches.

Siracha ketchup is good, too.

I remember riding the bus for 20 hours to NTC. They gave us frozen Jimmy Dean Sandwich meals that had been stored for months, years? That would become immedietely moldy when they thawed. That way was better than what we ate living off the FOB.

Just give them MREs.

KoB

Ham n muthers…and no C4 warming tabs. The Air Crews get the peaches and pound cake.

jeff LPH 3 63-66

Too bad the Ham n muthers didn’t come with an EX Lax bar When we had c’s aboard the LPH 3, the case was turned over so no one could start the rush for the franks n beans. Same thing when I was in the ARNG…

Charles

But after a while I could recognize the B-3 units — the ones with the fruit cocktail — from its position in the upside down box. They were always sorted in the same order. Thank you Southern Packaging Company of Mullins, SC.

AW1Ed

Yeah, light off some C4 inside an aircraft and watch the fun ensue.

KoB

I’d sell tickets. Sometimes you just need some serious putty v silly putty.

timactual

Could be worse–ever use one of those “official” trioxane(?) heat tabs they issued?

“Just give them MREs”

Too fresh. Gotta be some C rats still in storage.
Nothing wrong a B2 unit and a couple a beers.

The Jimmy Deans.

Those things sucked.

I had forgotten about those. Thanks for nothing, Thumb.

Bologna sandwiches with yellow mustard and white bread. Can’t go wrong.

Anonymous

Grits that congeal into the shape of the tray and can be eaten on a fork like a popsicle.

NHSparky

Better than yellow bread and white mustard.

President Elect Toxic Deplorable Racist SAH Neande

Those ingrates should be thankful (HAH!) that they don’t have to buy & bring their own.

Believe it or not, some articles say that riding on Air Force One is far better but paying for its meals is mandatory. Junior staffers say they get charged ~$1000/year whether they eat or not.

Old tanker

Give them an MRE a canteen of water and tell them to STFU or walk. Preferably at 35,000 altitude.

If the Ho is on the flight, just give her a cream filled dildo and she will be happy.

Isn’t that how she earned her political career D-rat kneepads?

I believe the military term for that type of food is “box nasty”.

26Limabeans

I like the Stouffers classic meatloaf with mashed potatoes.
Pro tip:
If you tip the tray before removing the foil the gravy will flow
over to the mashed.

ArmyATC

The problem with those government employees is that they don’t think they’re government employees. They think they’re royalty and deserving of 5 star cuisine on the taxpayers dime.

Blaster

So, don’t Fn eat it!

My opinion is that AF 1 shouldn’t be eating any better, Until the American people are able to eat better too. Soggy sandwiches are good enough for all those civil servants, regardless of their status or level. If they have to have a “fancy” dinner, Hamburger Helper is as fancy as it should be!

Ain’t they the ones telling us to look into eating bugs for protein?

F’em!!

JusBill

I will always cherish the memory of “Meat in Tomato Sauce” in a can, heated on our truck’s exhaust manifold while we froze our butts off in the hinterlands of South Dakota.

What a bunch of spoiled babies.

Tuna w/ noodles MRE entree kept under my armpit until warm? (Hey, it was winter in Germany and the MKT sucked… )

timactual

One of the benefits of C-rats & being in a mech unit was that you could always heat the Cs. They fit perfectly in the exhaust pipe of an M113 and the little (anti-grenade?) crosspiece kept them from going too far in.

There was a Navy mess hall at Camp Tien Sha in Da Nang.
Open 24/7 with breakfast, lunch or dinner any time day or night.
We had chit cards and would stop by when in town.
Best food ever.

USMC Steve

The Navy generally has some really good chow. I still remember the Gold Hill Galley in Guantanamo Bay. Truly excellent stuff they served there.

BlueCord Dad

Boo-fuckin’-Hoo…

Angry Cops has been covering this thing the CBO floated to reduce Vets’ Compensation by means-testing. He’s got a new video out (see below). Part of me hopes they do take the big ol’ ugly axe to our “‘benefits'” and then Princess Kumala’s AF2 food budget goes up by the exact same amount.

The optics would be, for want of no better word, priceless.

Roh-Dog

Also, (I wasn’t there but the rumor is) even Jimmy MFing Carter turned down the thermostat and put on a fucking sweater.

Eat the ramen noodles, you snot-nosed wastes of oxygen.

Green Thumb

I wonder if the False Commander “Phony” Phil Monkress (CEO of All-Points Logistics) has the food contract?

KoB

GT, do you actually think that Phony Phil would share his bag of dicks with those people?

Green Thumb

Sure.

It there is taxpayer money to be obtained, yes.

Phildo, though, does not really care about the meat and potatoes; he just like the gravy. Both figuratively and literally.

But that soggy sandwich and half-assed meal plan where you would see him skimming off of the top seems is more in line with his style.

SFC D

Fuck ’em and feed ’em beans.

Green Thumb

With a side of less-than-awesomesauce.

Well played.

Fava beans and a nice Chianti?

They didn’t want mayo on their sammich.  😄

Serve them the same things we got after 70 days underway on SpecOp:
Baboons Ass, Cat Turds, Pillows of Death, and Horsecock sandwiches washed down with a nice tall glass of death milk.
