How are people liking the cheese lasagna? I have a choice between that and the Chicken Tikka Masala on my upcoming [domestic] flight, and I was thinking about getting the lasagna. After all, nothing like some pasta, red wine, and a few G&T's to make sleeping overnight in DFW a better experience.

IMO the lasagna is pretty standardized (though I usually eat half); the chicken anythingcan vary a lot - dry and ugly to mushy with everything in between.

This is domestic/Caribbean/Mexico meal service.
It is important to note that this chicken tikka masala is NOT the same as the "Chooza Tikka Masala" previously offered on IFS flights. I really enjoyed the latter. The "new AA" domestic version is pretty gross...the last time I had it, you couldn't even tell it was a slab of chicken and not some other mystery meat. It's disappointing... Along with the disappearance of the baked-on-board cookies and linen tray liners... 😢

2015 AA International Meals - menu /menus, photos, etc. (consolidated)
Just was on the aa105 and aa181 .. ALL of the food main courses and pre arrival options were inedible . Jalapeño chicken .. Tiny piece of overcooked chicken in a bland uninteresting sauce .. With undercooked ( almost raw ) potatoes with overcooked green beans .. Portion size was in line with a US domestic flight .. Not a transatlantic one . Pre arrival meal ( flatbread ) cold , tiny portion and tasteless .. Had a better pre arrival meal on KLM in Y class on my last JFK flight .. Was sat in 3J and heard F class passengers audibly complaining about the food ,
Also the salad was tiny in quantity and if I had that quality of salad in my fridge at home it would have gone into the bin !
AA 181 .. Main course beef .. Tiny , overcooked with sweet potato mash with a crust on it it had been cooked that long !
The only saving grace was the FL in JFK had great food that I had only a brief sample off before boarding ..
All in all AA 2015 food so far 2/10 bad show !

Since the 2014 thread is closed, I will post this here. A recent change is that the Japanese meal is now a regular menu choice, pre-ordering doesn't seem necessary.
Menu
Appetizer tray
That's gold leaf on the bean cake!
Main
Pre-arrival breakfast
The Japanese meals especially leaving Japan are very good. The breakfast was very good as well, the quiche had a light and flaky crust and the potatoes and asparagus were well prepared.

IME the Japanese meal on any airline ex-Japan is always a good choice. Ex-USA it is often not.

Were both of those flights in 2- or 3-class J?
BTW, why wasn't there a sundae listed in the dessert options for the GIG-MIA flight? I thought all SA flights still got sundaes in both F/J (and even presumably 3-class J, if this was 3-class J)?

This is what you get when you travel Y on a MIA-CCS flight. It was good, we used to get a hot course though. Choice was between this or sandwich. I took the sandwich inbound and wished i would have picked the salad, then salad was outbound. Noted that AA makes better salad than sandwiches, at least it has meat. Catering is always better ex-MIA than CCS.... , salad didn't look so pretty in Caracas.
Anyway, lets go with AA Y meal. (which got downgraded from a hot one). I have been told that 738 unlike 757 don't have ovens and blah blah.
Photo was taken with my watch so nobody noticed.
