Trip to Do & Co company

11.30.12

Yesterday we visited the Do & Co company, where we were warmly welcomed with drinks and sweets. The company developed from professional restaurants  and later started businesses providing foods in airlines as well. After settling down for some minutes, our guide made us cover in light cloths and hats, as we were about to enter the huge kitchen where all the great works were happening. Just like a food factory, there were massive number of workers, every individual had their own parts. What differed it from a factory was that they had very little amount of machines being used in the kitchen. Almost every  food they produced were hand made. Our mentor point out some really important facts on how the work was carried, making sure there was no old or wasted food, that might lead to food poison. Halal and non-halal was a big issue in the kitchen, where half the room was halal material, and the other half non-halal. We also entered a freezing 5 degree Celsius room where foods and veggies were kept, but a very little amount of food was really frozen.
Over all, I was surprised seeing such place, that I hardly imagined existed. I used to think that the foods that we get in planes were cooked in the planes, now I have a whole new and better image in my mind!
