One of These Things is Just Like the Others

As I flew early this morning to Rome en route to Boston on Al Italia (official motto: We find a new way to #$&* you every time) I was slightly surprised that they remembered to serve me a Kosher meal. I was very surprised to see that the Kosher meal was the exact same as the regular meal, just wrapped in plastic. Now I must admit that I normally make an effort to sleep for the entire first leg of the Israel-Italy-US journey so this may not be an infrequent occurrence, but it was similarly interesting. Really, assuming the airline is serving Israeli products, shouldn’t all of the flights out of Israel have pretty much de facto Kosher food?
