Oh come on. I know your name is kwoldtimer but clearly you aren't going into a Residence Soleil any time soon. I just find their ads horrible and unintentionally funny. They're meant to be endearing but look depressing. And Eddy Savoie looks like he belongs in a care facility himself. Every picture of him he looks befuddled and like he doesn't know where he is. His claim of being worth 1.5 Billion dollars also seems to verge on the delusional side.

Then again when you have a monster at your command I guess you can hold the nearest metropolis for ransom every once in a while.

Actually looks like an Air Canada meal.

I've only flown WestJet and Porter. On those airlines, the meal is a bag of chips and half a can of pop. In the airlines' defence, though, they're damn good chips. And Porter actually gives you the whole can.

There probably isn't that much difference, it's a poverty platter, but what are the white strips next to the carrot?

They're probably parsnip, they're like carrots but a little more earthy with a slightly purfumy aftertaste. They're in with cilantro in that "you either love them or hate them" category. Unlike cilantro, I hate them.

Of course, I love parsnip, it's a Canadian vegetable, but never had them raw.

It could be strips of cheese? I can't imagine it's any better when it's raw. They're pretty nasty in any form.

If the sandwich came with mashed potatoes it would be just fine, mix the peas in with them and you have a nice little lunch!

Porter also gives you as many full cans of beer or glasses of wine as you want for free! I have tested this limit on a delayed friday evening flight back from Thunder Bay so I could meet my friends at a bar shortly after landing.

Or nursing-home grub. Whatever it is, it shouldn't be used in the same sentence with "food".

That's right! I don't drink beer though.

They also have free snacks in the departure lounge at City Centre.

Umm... I think that's the same picture they were showing on the news that was being offered as meals to the people who went to the Fyre Festival.

Gourmet meal indeed!
