They don't call me Madam. If they do I'll be telling them where to go.
For me, it's chicken pretty much every time.
Chicken's so versatile, and cheap, you can make so many dishes with it. That's probably why it's so widely available as an in-flight meal- it's easy to have various meals using one meat supplier and you can dress it up in so many different ways.

Chicken is more of a universal meat, plus for the airline it's usually cheaper and holds up better in a holding pan. Beef, the longer it sits the tougher it may become and need to be served to order, rare, md rare med etc., where chicken is cooked to temp and can hold at that temp for longer periods of time. I'm a beef lover but would probably order the chicken on a plane just because it will be more consistent.

Some people don't want to eat red meat and view chicken as "healthier".
Personally, I think if I was on a flight where they offered "chicken or beef" I'd be wary of both - that pretty much reduces beef to its lowest common denominator (about what I would expect from an airline) and wouldn't want either.
Some red meat is great. Some is awful. Some people cook it extremely well. Some others shouldn't be allowed near a stove. An offer of "chicken or beef" would make me just ask for pretzels.

Yeah, I always go for the chicken, because the beef if always chewy and stringy and just a bit rubbish. But then...so is the chicken! Perhaps the veggie options would be better?!?

The only time I've ever been offered a meal on a plane was Chicago <--> Tokyo and it was not a choice of chicken or beef. It was fish or something else. I think I stuck to my bag of sour patch kids during that meal...

in certain religions like hinduism and buddhism cows are considered sacred, therefore beef is not consumed by them. as far as i know,chicken consumption has no barriers in any religion. not only that there are countless of dishes one could make from chicken. it is also cheaper in terms of monetary value. so we could daresay chicken is the most popular. could anyone forget the world wide popular KFC?

Neither , because fear does not allow me to eat while on board the air craft as I consider it to be a matter of life and death. So, no appetite at all. But personally, I like beef as it is handy to eat, without you soiling your hand and cloth with oil

I always preorder a vegetarian meal because I find the meat is a bit dodgy an extra perk is that they usually bring out the "special request" meals first so you get your food before the other people!
