  • The man used gloves, a hairnet and plates for hygienic preparation
  • A woman beside him chopped vegetables on a tray table board
  • The family ate neatly and kept all food activity within space

A man travelling on a train was seen turning his berth into a mini kitchen as he prepared sandwiches for his family, complete with gloves, a hairnet and neatly arranged plates.

The now-viral video, which was widely shared across social media, showed the family making their meal while seated inside the train.

In the clip, the man was seen wearing a hairnet and gloves as he carefully prepared the sandwiches. He arranged plates neatly on the berth before placing slices of bread on them and using a knife to spread butter evenly.

A woman travelling with the family was also seen preparing the filling, cutting vegetables on a chopping board placed on one of the train's tray tables.

Once the sandwiches were ready, the family members were seen eating from the plates without making a mess around their seats. The setup appeared organised, with the travellers keeping their food preparation confined to their own space.

The unusual sight caught the attention of fellow passengers and later social media users, with many debating whether preparing food on a train was acceptable.

Several users said there was nothing wrong with carrying and eating homemade food on a train as long as passengers stayed within their allotted space, avoided disturbing others and cleaned up afterwards.

Others viewed the moment more fondly, saying such family meals during long journeys could become cherished childhood memories. One person recalled travelling in a similar manner during the 1960s and 1970s.

Another commenter pointed out that the family seemed to be using the seats they had paid for, maintaining hygiene while preparing the food and not inconveniencing the passengers around them.
