In the clip, Karl says," I flew premium economy for the first time so let's see which country had better plane food: India or the US? I flew out of India, and just see this! This food is definitely better quality than the economy because I was actually able to enjoy it. Breakfast was great too. The food was a step up." The first meal shows a chicken dish with different vegetables and a separate salad on the side. A container of curd and what looked to be a dessert was also served with the main course. The breakfast spread consisted of an omelette, sausages, veggies, a bread roll, fruits, curds, etc.
Karl continued, "But now see my dinner out of New York and the next breakfast. Are you seeing a pattern? I've got rubbery processed chicken, boring rice and just flavourless slop. And I love American food. Grits, biscuits, barbecue but, man, this ain't it! This is American jail food. Which meal would you rather eat?" The American meal consists of chicken topped with some sort of sauce/ gravy and rice. The next shot shows another dish with rice, carrots, peas and white gravy.
As per the caption, Karl chose to fly from "Delhi to New York (DEL-JFK) with American Airlines for the first time. It was a 17-hour flight with two meals, dinner & breakfast. Plus snacks in between." Watch the complete video below:

"I love that they go to the extent of putting chopped parsley on the rice to make it look less boring."
"Yeah, airline food is basically what you find in the frozen dinner section at the grocery store."

"The Indian one was bad, till I saw what the Americans were having."
"India has spoiled you for good."
