Man's gluten free airline meal request met with a single banana

I have long since given up on airline food, since my dietary problems don’t fit any of the neat categories. But I do have fond memories of the Japanese airline that provided me with rice when I couldn’t eat anything else.

Strangely, the best meal I ever had in the air was on an internal US flight, when they had lost my dietary request so just gave me the standard portion. Coincidentally, I could eat most of it. Then again, that was 20 years ago, and my more recent experience (last year) was a bit more threadbare.
