The Norwegian airline showed what was fed on planes half a century ago

It is always interesting to look into the past — for example, who would have thought that half a century ago, passengers on board airplanes were fed no worse than in Michelin restaurants. Norwegian airline Scandinavian Airlines has shared nostalgic photos of the 1950s and 1980s, in which passengers dine on crabs, lobsters, hams and caviar.

We warn you: it is better not to look at such pictures on an empty stomach!

Sausages were cut right on board — at that time there were no such strict safety rules.

Business class passengers were offered to taste fresh fish and smoked meats, and drinks were poured into glassware.

In the 1960s, tea was served in elegant sets and offered a piece of fresh cake.

What about fresh fruit?

Of course, economy class offered more modest lunches. This is how they looked in the 1960s.

But the frame from the 1980s already looks more like modern dinners on airplanes.

But in business class there was a real buffet!

You could drink champagne with caviar.

And have a delicious dinner with delicious dishes made of porcelain dishes.

"Would you like some freshly ground pepper?"

In business class in the 1980s, they still offered to taste lobsters.

"Ma-a-a-scarlet piece for me, please!"

It seems that in those days, food carts were not afraid of turbulence at all.

"And I'll have fresh lobsters and a cool aperitif, please."

Here they are, the golden years of onboard catering!
