Declan Minogue was travelling with his wife Claire on the way back from a relaxing seven-night holiday in Portugal and felt a bit peckish on the plane
A father has described the ham and cheese sandwich he was served on a Ryanair flight from Faro airport in Portugal to Dublin as “the worst airplane food ever.”
Declan Minogue, who was returning from a seven-night holiday in Portugal with his wife Claire, ordered a €6.80 Hot Ham and Cheese Panini from the on-board menu when he felt peckish.
However, the 63-year-old from Lusk was left disappointed when he received a paltry sandwich that he claimed “wasn’t fit for Oliver Twist.”
He expressed his shock at finding just two small pieces of ham and the “tiniest bit of cheese” with no butter when he opened the sandwich.
Despite finishing the ‘bland’ sandwich, which he likened to “something out of Oliver Twist,” he had to purchase more food upon landing as he was still hungry.
The father-of-two took to social media to share a photo of the disappointing sandwich, captioning it as “shocking and insulting.”
The image shows the opened sandwich with only one slice of ham cut in half and a small amount of melted cheese—barely covering half the bread.
Social media users expressed their shock at the ‘disgusting’ meal in the comments, with some advising against buying food on flights.
Feeling ‘massively ripped off,’ the retail manager vowed never to purchase food on a Ryanair flight again. Declan, a resident of Lusk, Dublin, Ireland, expressed his disappointment, stating: “It was the worst airplane food ever. It was a massive rip off.
“I was shocked when I saw it,” he continued. “I got it and I opened it and couldn’t believe it, so I took a picture. It had two slices of ham and the tiniest bit of cheese, and the cheese was like butter.
“There was no substance to it. I was stunned. It was like something out of Oliver Twist. You wouldn’t be asking for more than that. It didn’t taste good. It was very bland, but I was starving, so what could I do?”
Declan added: “You wouldn’t really think you can mess up a ham and cheese sandwich. I left the flight feeling quite hungry and had to get something from the airport.
“I know it’s a budget airline, but you’d expect better service. I wouldn’t buy anything on Ryanair’s flights again. The standards are a disaster.
“I didn’t complain about it, which I should have. My other half wouldn’t let me.”
The post sparked outrage among social media users. One user commented: “Disgusting.” Another user exclaimed: “What the hell is that? That’s ridiculous.”
A third user remarked: “Gross.” Other users advised against purchasing food on flights. One user suggested: “Never buy the food on board. Bring your own and cold drinks. Much nicer.” Another user recommended: “Take your own sandwiches. We never buy food on the plane.”
Ryanair has been contacted for a response.
