Specifically, the line item labeled Misc. Expense, which is separate from Misc. Revenue. Below Fuel & Staff, above Gate Rental, Maintenance, & Lease.

I don't remember it from the last round, but maybe I'm just experiencing early senility.

If it is Cost of Goods Sold for the Food & Drink, it means I'm only making about €300 per game month from food and drink, and I'm starting to wonder if that is worthwhile.

Misc. Revenue is food & drink sales, as noted previously by my esteemed colleagues. ;)

Misc. Expense= the money it takes to buy all the food and drinks.

I like all the answers. here's the official one.

A portion of it is food/drink, yes.  It also encompasses a few small fees which have been applied to any given route.  A mild passenger fee, airport landing fee, and one or two other weak fees have been created in a mild attempt to both model more realistic expenses as well as to slow the game down a little more.

Food/drink costs about 1 euro per item [i know, i wasn't quite creative enough to come up with more accurate numbers] sold.

Well the Alcohol could be Duty Free and be full bottles of Cognac/Armagnac etc. Or it could be a cheap mini of Smirnoff. Either way the higher charges won't make as much profit due to the fact that they have less customers. I've got all of mine at 13 and make about 8k DOP.
