Eating Pan Am style

On a trip from New York to Barbados, people were served stuffed rock cornish hen. Sound too good to be true? Well... that's on a flight on a Pan Am flight in Dec 19, 1969. Northwestern University Library's newly launched Website of airline menus reminds us of a time period where flights were a little bumpier but the food was a lot more fresh.

Gone were the days of crystal salt shakers to be replaced by shrink wrapped candy bars for five dollars.

At least nowadays, you can get a in flight movie on demand.

Check out the website here.
