airplane food

Is there a special term for "airline food" that captures the reality of how terrible it is?! In U.S. we make jokes about it.

Why use "c'était" when referring to the TGV?

It seems it should be "il était" because you are referring specifically to the TGV, and not trains generally.

Limits of Rien!In all your examples "rien" is always at the end of sentence. Can you add clause(s) after "rien". For example: "C'est mon film policier préféré. Il n'est rien comme les films policiers modernes parce qu'il n'y a pas de poursuites en voiture à grande vitesse et personne n'est tué jusqu'à la dernière scène.
