I love sharing tales of airplane meal glory and sorrow with you all. The stories always get a huge response and I think it taps into an experience with which most vegans can relate… being stuck somewhere with nothing to eat.

Check out Josh’s meal below and then keep scrolling to find out what he has to say about it.
