This is too funny. Has anyone submitted a video to YouTube yet. A plane full of people screaming in terror because of some curry. Although I have to say I have screamed in pain because of to much curry. :)

This is an issue that has no simple answers. Common sense and courtesy should dictate that a food item that is pungent will offend a large number of people and should not be brought aboard an aircraft. However, many cultures subsist on diets that are exactly that: pungent. These cultures cannot stand the blandness of the western food that will offend less than 0.01% of the world's population.

Too bad for those cultures. The so-called bland food that we westerners consume will not kill you or scald you to death and can be eaten by nearly everyone on the planet. Pungent food has no place in a trapped environment like an airplane or bus.

Grab a fresh hot pizza from the terminal and we can all enjoy the aroma.

Common Sense, it is so simple yet rarely used...

Worst flight I ever worked, The family using "Common Sense" brought her family food, I was so happy...... Common Sense didn't work when she packed the entire family TUNA FISH!

OMG... The stinch..... You can't make this stuff up!

I have the sweetest neighbors in the entire world but they use curry to cook every single meal. I swear to god...I think they even put that stuff on ice cream....
Since we live in a duplex/condo, the smell comes through our walls at least three times a day and will (quite literally) make your stomach turn over about fifty thousand times. I can't even imagine why some idiot would have brough it on a plane.

PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO BRING FOOD OF ANY KIND ON AIRPLANES!

Um, this post is about British Airways, so for those of you screamin' and hollerin' about immigrant this and that, particularly #'s 4 and 10, curry is absolutely not foreign to the Brits. All Brits, white, brown, black ,and purple alike. It is practically their national food, they love it so much. The person probably just thought "Hmm. I am probably not going to be able to get any good curry in Serbia, perhaps I'll take along my own."
I actually think that it would have been better in his carry on versus the cargo, because at least that part of the plane is ventilated.

If it smelled that bad, it no doubt had gone bad.
Usually curry smells good.

Good point. I'm also of Irish heritage and love the Indian cuisine.

It's racist comments like yours that set this country back 100 years. How ignorant!

Curry does smell and taste pretty good, but it can be overwhelming. This reminds me of the guy who sat NEXT to me on a non-stop flight from Hawaii to NY. He ATE the stinky stuff. Then, it came out of his pores for the next 9 hours. I, too, wanted to scream.

Oh, and tuna isn't offensive - get used to other people's food choices, this is not Nazi Germany.

curries are nothing to worry about. it is just that some people don't make and maintain them well, which would make them smell.

How do you "MAKE " curry? It is a spice

Yummy! Kimchee. (I'm an old, white American broad, too)!
