Here is a description of the SYD-SFO meal in C. It may be similar...

SYD-SFO UA 870 May 20:
To begin:
Smoked salmon with avocado ratatouille
Whipped goat cheese dressing
[The avocado was good, but the salmon was brown and smelled funny]
Main course:
Filet mignon with peppercorn cream sauce
Mashed sweet potatoes and steamed vegetable medley
Brie and onion stuffed chicken breast with jus
Roasted new potatoes and squash with carrots
[I had this one; but I couldn't find any brie in the chicken, the three potatoes were boring, and the small piece of cooked carrot and small piece of cooked squash weren't exciting either]
Spinach and ricotta cannelloni
Semi-dried tomatosauce and fresh basil
Dessert:
International cheese selection
Victorian blackjack red leicester, king island camembert
Pavlova
Meringe with cream and fruit
[This one was pretty good]
Midnight snack:
Warm Australian chicken and roasted pumpkin meat pie
[sounds neat, but I slept through it]
Cheese, cucumber and lettuce sandwich
Chips
Chocolate
Prior to arrival:
Fresh fruit appetizer with croissant and
Chorizo and potato omelette:
Sauteed spinach and mushrooms with oven-baked tomato
[Was originally planning to get this, but lost interest after the chicken dish]
Fresh seasonal fruit plate
With creamy yogurt
The fellow next to me who'd paid full-fare business ate some of his chicken dish and ignored the rest. Can't blame him. What has happened to intl C meals lately??
