Mmm. Yum. Delicious! Those are not usually the words uttered in glee when describing airline food.

In fact, the only reason most flyers eat the bland, plastic food is that they need something to coat the taste of the stale peanuts on their tongue.

Of course, not all airline food is terrible, especially if you’re lucky to score first-class tickets aboard some of the world’s most elite airlines. In fact, some of the top chefs in the world are curating menus for first-class dining.

From Parisian to Italian to Japanese cuisine - there are many options aboard some of the most coveted journeys. While mashed potatoes and prime rib are tasty, the best meals are the daring, spicy dishes from international countries that aren’t afraid to go the extra mile and actually spice up their boring airline dinner. Who wants to eat bread traveling from Vietnam, or Pizza traveling from Mexico, it’s all about matching the cuisine with the journey.

Here are the top 5 spiciest meals served on airlines:
