Supermodel Chrissy Teigen is a legit frequent flyer who longs to blog about airline food instead of gracing the cover of Sports Illustrated.
And she was the best source for breaking news about an ANA flight turning back to LAX just after Christmas.

Her twitter feed is must-follow for the latest in passenger experience.
If I don’t have a carry-on, can I bring a large ceramic casserole dish of scalloped potatoes on the plane? I am not kidding, is this okay? Is it too blunt/heavy an object? I’ll cry if they throw it away

She calls out @AmericanAir with her question, and even tries out a novel angle for bringing her food onboard.
I would like to bring my emotional support casserole on my flight today

They direct her to @AskTSA who gets the definitive answer.
That's a good question, Christine! Scalloped potatoes are allowed in carry-on and checked bags. You can place them in a ceramic casserole dish. We hope you enjoy!

Now this is news I can use.
I thought this was gonna be some terrible clickbait. But it’s really not. Hysterical exchange.
Funny. And yes, food is allowed.
Would soup be allowed? I doubt it.

No soup for you. (Seinfeld)
Only emotional support soup, with the proper paperwork and training report would be allowed…
Soup is a liquid, so it wouldn’t be allowed. But what about stew? Chowder? Bisque? Chili?
What if I freeze my soup first? 😀
She is a “legit frequent flyer”?
Well, let’s get this cupcake a trophy…..
Sometimes TSA doesn’t allow us to bring yogurt with nuts and fruit we add to it into the plane cabin. Tell us that yogurt is a liquid, even we make it real chunky with the nuts and blueberries.
TSA agents at O’Hare have given someone I know a hard time about bringing Nutisystem bars and popcorn (unopened and in original bag) on the plane in carry on (and he has TSA precheck.) He also was given a hard time bringing a cup of dried unopened Nutrisystem noodles (the kind you mix with hot water.) Each time an agent gives him a hard time he asks for a supervisor.
@ORD Flyer. Frozen soup should be fine, as by definition it is a ‘solid’. I’ve tested the theory. Just point this out to your friendly TSA screener.
Hmm, frozen soup, I don’t think so. I had a jar of shea butter which is solid at any normal room temperature, and they wouldn’t let me take it, because it “could become” a liquid.
If she were not a Sports Illustrated model, would she still be allowed the potatoes?
