<p dir="ltr">An airline meal which, other than to those living in the third world, is not a true meal by any stretch of the imagination, is not the benchmark for defining Halacha.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In the same way that bread we eat today would without question be deemed to be Mezonos in Talmudic times (and we may similarly reflect - in the reverse - on soft Matza) as we've added oil and sugar, yet today even raisin challah is universally accepted as HaMotzi; so too the definition of a Halachic meal that converts Mezonos to HaMotzi, must reflect what is deemed to be normal for our eating habits.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Airline meals may be chosen by some even as a Shabbos meal, that's why I proposed the scenario where everyone else at the table is eating a regular Shabbos meal. </p>
<p dir="ltr">There are likely many thousands who keep busy work schedules and make a meal on the go their regular lunch, but that hardly qualifies to set the standard to define a meal.</p>
