Transborder reverts back to 2 meal choices
AC mainline has gone back to 2 entrée choices transborder (to FLL anyway) as of October (it has been 3 up until this point). Maybe they are preparing pax for the introduction of Rouge on the route later this month.
I don't usually comment on the catering (First World Problem), however, the chicken was swimming in a massive amount of green sauce - it was the worst entrée I've had in years. The quality of the salmon on the way down was on an entirely different plane (so to speak).

Oct 10 AC 270- a couple of rare (in my experience) slip ups; and the worst chicken entree ever
service issues:
meal orders not taken by status
no hot towels prior to meal
forgot drink orders; twice. then got them wrong anyway
the Caribbean chicken- ick. just ick. odd coloured thigh meat drowning in a pool of green herb 'salsa'; red quinoa gives the plate a 'Christmas at Grandma's' feel.

That's interesting that they removed one of the entree choices. What was the other one?

I noticed there were only two options on ACr SFO-YVR on Friday. There had always been three previously, but it's been months since I'd flown that route.

From the International Business Class meals thread
(bolding mine)
Thanks for reminding me.
I just selected my meal options for my upcoming AA flights. This service is available 30 days prior to flight date.

You already know the answer.
EDIT: But I will answer again anyway
On flights from the U.S. to the Caribbean, two choices are offered.
My point about the ABILITY to select my meals 30 days in advance was in response to yvrgary’s comment "If only there were some way to indicate your wishes prior to boarding."
I have also pointed out previously that pre-order on AC would make a difference when crew comes around to take orders and pax are told, oh, no more beef etc.

Transborder the meal choices have traditionally been chicken, pasta and one other protein (alternating between beef tenderloin and salmon) and they loaded 6 of each for the 14 pax.

Veal stew with a tomato and vegetable sauce, cauliflower au gratin and fine French green beans.
I've never seen that before.
