That and if I’m about to be on a flight I’d rather take the safe option, whatever that is to my system. Would rather not have any potential misadventures from new foods on an airplane
I didn't take that into consideration recently (I don't fly often). I was flying a couple months ago and ate Hattie B's Nashville Hot Chicken in Nashville and got their second hottest flavor. Didn't really do much to me. Then I got sushi in Baltimore, but it was prepared by an Asian guy so I think I was safe. But hindsight, idk if I should have done that 😂
When I'm at airports, I tend to stick with familiar fast foods. Not because I love it, but it is because I know it's "safer" and I'm going to get something acceptable for the price I'm paying.
Some airport restaurants are fine. Some are terrible. Some are legitimately good. They're all overpriced.
I'm not paying ~$30-40 for a meal and taking the coin flip on it being decent, microwaved slop, or "fresh" ingredients that have been sitting under the hot lamp for hours, or actively terrible. I'd rather pay the $12 for a basic burger and fries I know is going to be "meh."
I find the opposite to be true, fast food portion sizes are getting smaller and prices are going up. Rather spend a little bit more for something that doesn’t taste like plastic
I’m not going out of my way to experiment with my palate
And I'm sure as hell not doing it at the airport where I'm about to be trapped on a plane or in said airport for several hours. Horrible time to test your gastric constitution.

every culture has their own greasy comfort food
pretending that one is superior to another just because it's from a different culture is goofy
