Yamiche Alcindor ‏@Yamiche
.@BernieSanders is about to take off for NY. We've been served a menu for the 9 hour chartered flight he's taking

[DURHAM D]

1. I had to look up Fattoush Salad. nt

[Codeine]

25. Not as fancy as it sounds.

But delish. They serve it at my local Lebanese place.

[Cal Carpenter]

75. I've had versions of fattoush from all sorts of middle eastern restaurants

Syrian, Lebanese, Palestinian...

All super yummy. Lettuce (usually), parsley, cucumbers, onions, tomatoes, sometime green peppers, other things, and dried or fried pita chips on top. The dressing is made with sumac so it's really tart and zingy and delicious.

Main difference between the styles is if there's lettuce and how much, and how the veggies are chopped - some are big chunky salads, others have everything finely diced.

One of my faves.

[CorkySt.Clair]

2. I wonder if they screened "Clinton Cash" on the flight?

Right wing smears seem to be really popular with Berners lately.

[Human101948]

77. No,but they were comparing their menu to Hillary's

Oh my God! Endangered Chilean Sea Bass!!!!!!!

[yallerdawg]

3. "Note to self..."

"Lay off staff after we get back. That Euro vacay was expensive!"

[KittyWampus]

26. "note to self… have Weaver lay off staff for me when we get back…."

[woolldog]

58. lol

[JaneyVee]

4. Its nice they fed that chicken corn.

And look at all those corporate beverages!

[nolawarlock]

30. hah!

That was fabulous!

[virgogal]

5. Aaaww,God,posting that is pure,unadulerated torture. I am

starving----and spotting the lamb entrée made me almost cry.

[aikoaiko]

6. Fairly modest for a 9-hour chartered flight.

and yummy.

[NurseJackie]

7. But wearing a tux to an inaugural ball is over the top ...

... and classist.

[tammywammy]

14. Heh

[bigwillq]

8. Yuck

Lobster
Crab
Lamb

Cheeses

[LisaM]

54. Same here!

I can't tolerate seafood, but some of it sounded good.

[tonedevil]

9. Looks tasty...

but the best part is seeing Secretary Clinton's supporters lose their teeny minds.

[sufrommich]

19. That's "lose", oh great superior intellect. nt

[tonedevil]

24. Thank you...

I have edited to fix that error. Although now that I think about it the minds of Secretary Clinton supporters do seem kind of loose.
One last thing your insult would be more effective if I had claimed intellectual superiority.

[dsc]

39. you said a group of people have teeny minds

so yeah, you pretty much did claim intellectual superiority.

[Maru Kitteh]

64. so you admit you have a teeny mind

[procon]

10. Wow! This is what they're serving the plebs back in the cheap economy class seats.

Oh, my bad, it's a chartered flight with added 5 star catering service. Those $27 donations work pretty good...

[onehandle]

11. I had beans and rice for lunch. nt

[Generic Brad]

43. Hey, me too!

With a little salsa on top. Yum.

[MFM008]

52. I had to get a bag of

cookies out of the trash...

[frylock]

12. Two weeks later, and still the butthurt hasn't receded?

It may be time to check with a doctor.

[cherokeeprogressive]

41. You'd think they ought to be posting happy stuff, right? No.

Have you ever seen a more sorry bunch of sore winners?

The OP spends his time dropping names and bragging about his money, yet he posts this drivel?

[Divernan]

55. Killing time while waiting for his Ferrari to be serviced!

Doncha know, Thurston?

[Prism]

13. I love watching a wealthy person try to class-bait

You're adorable.

[NurseJackie]

15. Yet, not a word was spoken when Bernie fans were all up in the cost of Hillary's ...

... hairstyle, or outfits, or travel expenses, or her "mansion".

I love it when people cherry-pick. It's adorable.

(Is the OP a "wealthy person"? I did not know that.)

[GummyBearz]

17. Lamb, chicken, or pasta makes you wealthy?

Good lord I must be a millionaire (checking bank account balance now)... oh, I just paid $20 for chicken penne a couple weeks ago. Damn, I almost thought I was rich enough to vote for Hillary.

[Prism]

20. You can hardly miss it

It's gratuitously mentioned relentlessly and eye-rolling invariably ensues.

This menu looks like a meal I had a few weeks back for a special occasion. (Psst. I'm not rich.)

This is hilariously weak sauce. And from people supporting the mega wealthy Clintons, seriously. "Oh no! Bernie had a nice meal!"

Am I supposed to take this seriously as a piece of adult logic from serious people?

Because if that was the aim, shit just went into the trees.

[NurseJackie]

22. I'll be on the lookout for your scolding and finger-wagging responses to the "class-baiting" ...

... posts directed at, and which are needling Hillary.

Am I supposed to take this seriously as a piece of adult logic from serious people?

No, you see it for exactly what it is, it's needling and poking fun. I imagine that over-reactions similar to yours just makes it more fun for the people who post such things. (You know, as kind of a retort or copy-cat post to the ones about Hillary that don't seem to bother you at all.)

[Prism]

38. No, it just reveals callousness

People are digging in dumpsters for a decent meal, and a wealthy supporter of an ultra-wealthy candidate is pretend scandalized by a salad.

If people have fun on the backs of the poor, okedoke then.

"Ahahaha, people are starving. But Bernie got some shitty plane food!"

Yay! Fun.

I don't get "liberals" who enjoy this fun.

[cherokeeprogressive]

42. "(Is the OP a "wealthy person"? I did not know that.)" Your friend spends his time name-dropping

and bragging about all his money and what access it gets him.

Wow talk about tunnel vision.

[NurseJackie]

66. My friend? Why do you assume we have a relationship?

And even if you're just using it as a figure-of-speech, why do you assume that I'm scouring the web site, following him around, breathlessly awaiting every post and committing each word to memory? Why would it even matter one way or another to you? What difference does it make?

Wow talk about tunnel vision.

Wow, talk about being silly and never missing an opportunity to get mad at something inconsequential. You guys crack me up, you know that!

[cherokeeprogressive]

67. Struck. A. Nerve.

Yup.

[NurseJackie]

68. It seems that I did. (Sorry for embarrassing you.)

[cherokeeprogressive]

69. Imma let you have the last word; that's how embarrassed I am.

[NurseJackie]

70. Because you know when you've been beat.

That's why.

[cherokeeprogressive]

71. You measure your success by who ya "beat". Such a Hillary supporter you are. Endearing.

And typical.

Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back though. So many Hillary supporters in slings these days.

[NurseJackie]

73. Ha! Gotcha! :-P

Imma let you have the last word;

Yep, that's what he said... but he just couldn't stand it! (Now THAT'S funny!)


Wanna try two out of three?

Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back though. So many Hillary supporters in slings these days.

It's easy if you've got one of these! (See: Fig. 1) Considering how well Hillary is doing, it's a pretty handy thing to have!

[Divernan]

57. As I recall, it's his wife who has the wealth

but he claimed to be employed in some governmental capacity. Sorry I did not save the link.

[Cheese Sandwich]

16. Lobster salad is like chicken salad. Slider means it is on a bun

Not particularly fancy or anything.

A little bit fancy maybe but it's seafood salad.

Chopped up shellfish in mayonnaise

[oasis]

18. Gotta keep one's strength up for that 10 minute presentation.

[dinkytron]

21. I hear he also enjoys Grey Poupon.

[morningfog]

23. Good. He deserves it.

[Demsrule86]

32. Many of his supporters are kids

college kids ...probably broke...I wonder what they had for dinner that night. One kid posted not long ago he gave Bernie money even though he lost his job..I am a Mom...and it makes me sick. I know Bernie can not win...and these kids need money more than he does at this point.

[morningfog]

33. Aw, such a touching story.

That no good hood winker!

[Demsrule86]

65. I don't think he should ask for money

From kids when he knows he won't be the nominee.

[morningfog]

74. There is value in his campaign beyond whether he is the nominee.

And we get that.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

27. I would expect to see this from republicans.

Bernie is not part of the one percent no matter how you may try and make it look that way.

[woolldog]

59. He sure is living like he's a 1 percenter

[tonyt53]

28. And all I got in coach were some pretzels

[NorthCarolina]

76. Then you were surely on a domestic flight.

This menu is quite typical fare for an International Flight, and I can confirm because I have taken many of them.

[wendylaroux]

29. I would expect a republican to post this.

you shitting me?

[Mz Pip]

31. Not so unusual for an international flight.

I flew Air France last summer SF to Paris. Had quite a fancy meal complete with a choice of wine and champagne. I was in coach. I was so surprised since all I ever get on domestic flights is a bag of peanuts and a Coke.

[Beacool]

50. International flights feed you much better.

It also depends on the airline. On SAS I got fresh baked rolls, they were delicious. On Aerolineas Argentinas you get a choice of excellent Argentine wine. Ditto for Lan Chile. As you noticed, on Air France they serve you wine too. Some airlines also give small trinkets. KLM used to give passengers small bottles of liquor in Delft ceramic containers. Virgin Atlantic gave the cutest things, such as a toothbrush with a little rubber duck hanging from the handle.

Flying is now a chore, but it used to be fun when I was a kid.

[NCTraveler]

34. I was in the Florida Keys not long ago and got a fresh lobster slider.

It was great. They didn't have warm chocolate chip cookie service.

[cherokeeprogressive]

44. Take a chocolate chip cookie from the bag and put it in a microwave oven for 10-12 seconds.

Y'ain't missing nothin'.

[NCTraveler]

45. I like them dunked in milk. +1 nt

[QC]

35. We all know that you find ostentatious displays of wealth deeply offensive. n/t

[Joe the Revelator]

36. This is rich coming from the biggest name dropper on DU.

Pun intended.

[Autumn]

37. I had lobster salad on a Croissant, a spring salad with almonds tossed in

a lovely raspberry vinaigrette and a glass of wine. Poor baby, are you going hungry from donating so much cash to Hills?

[Divernan]

60. He claimed to have given Hills the max many months ago!

And that amount was mere chump change for someone of his storied wealth.

[polly7]

40. Something very good happened concerning issues you obviously don't care about.

You should really try to let it go .... seems to be eating you up inside.

[DesertRat]

46. Courtesy of all those $27 donations nt

[whatchamacallit]

47. Oh look, kept guy makes a funny

[Luminous Animal]

48. Sounds great! Thanks you!

[Beacool]

49. Let's see........

Could I please start with the coriander crab salad and the red lentil soup? Then the herb crusted lamb loin (yummy, love lamb) and red wine, also a bottle of Perrier. For dessert I would like the ice cream sundae and coffee.

Thank you for the fine meal.

[mike_c]

51. oh for pete's sake....

Now I've got the munchies like a force of nature.

[Iliyah]

53. I don't, my family or children would not know that menu or trust it

A experience for the grands, which is cool.

Be truthful with it tho.

[AgingAmerican]

56. Still not discussing issues....

What's wrong? Right wing doesn't come with an off switch?

[Corporate666]

61. This post is RIDICULOUS! Is there a SINGLE hard working American that hasn't.....

....chartered a private flight to Rome with their family, enjoyed a full range of complimentary premium liquor, wine and beer, lobster rolls, a 5 course meal and custom printed menus?

I mean, I find the mere implication that this isn't blue collar all the way to be highly offensive! I know when I worked as a janitor at a factory, I always flew charter 767's to Europe.

To suggest that Bernie was doing something that ALL of us haven't done on a regular basis is just pure racism and bigotry.

Leave Bernie alone!!!





</sarcasm>

[PufPuf23]

62. What does this OP serve? Mean and petty in nature doesn't wash off eom.

[Retrograde]

63. Ganache with yogurt sounds weird

and I'm not sure about this potato salad with barbeque dressing, but otherwise it all sounds good. A shade better than some business class meals I've had on international flights.

[SMC22307]

72. That menu might sound "exotic" to those who live off of Golden Corral and Hot Pockets...

but if you live in an area like I do, that type of food is everywhere, and standard fare for a lot of people. It does sound de-lish.

[sufrommich]

79. Served with a side of condescending pretension. nt

[SMC22307]

80. LOL

Glad you enjoyed. Just like a menu with some international, and good ol' U S of A offerings... yum yum.

[snowy owl]

78. Yummy! Family, children, grandchildren and members of press. 50 people 9-hour flight. Who wouldn't?

Unless you hate Bernie. We'd all do it if we could afford it. I have no sour grapes. I guess I'm lucky not to be petty about such things.

[bobbobbins01]

81. In New England, eating lobster used to be reserved only for the most impoverished.

And its still pretty inexpensive in that area, especially in a salad form. I get lobster sliders from the back of a truck in my area for 6.99 each, I didn't realize I was living it up like the 1%.

This OP is almost an exact replica of the shit conservatives pulled on Al Gore in regards to his carbon footprint. It is embarrassing.

[senseandsensibility]

82. yes!!!!!

[musicblind]

84. I need to move to New England! Lobster is one of my absolute favorite foods!

That and Maryland style crabcakes.

I would also prefer the weather up there and you guys have such beautiful topography!

Now I hear about cheap lobster? Where's my bags?

[musicblind]

83. Things like this are irrelevant to a candidate's stated positions.

I have never understood arguments over whether a candidate has the right to enjoy life?

I wasn't outraged over John Edward's haircut or Obama's vacation choices. I'm not going to be outraged over this.

I'm a foodie. I have indulged in menus like this on rare special occasions. I would hate to have a single menu taken out of context and posted on a message board.

I wish we weren't infighting so much on here! Our guys both voted together over 90% of the time. Lets get along!
