Thank you! I don't usually complain about airplane food, but that's exactly what it is, but this was truly the worst meal I've ever experienced. However, to be nice to this "catering manager" I will tell you that the wasabi ginger salad dressing on the DFW-NRT flight is the best salad dressing I have ever had. If anyone knows where I can buy it or how to make it please let me know. I dream about it.

Salmon can be eaten raw, i doubt the nut are warm when you get them home...
The club had a long line at the relief bar,
Sound Like Rush Lim Bo...look at me....everybody is picking on me....
Next time bring your own pizza see them in FC all the time...
Sure hope my seat does not come off going to MAD next week...
Be looking for the Chicago bunch in the AC on the 10th.
AA still for me...understand how you feel...Rush now You...both blue...hope not me too..

Me thinks the OP had a long day and is tired and cranky.....or he has unrealistic expectations.

The salmon OP speaks of is actually delicious (I've had it many times)
It's one thing that a first time flyer expects to be served sparkling wine and given an elaborate descriptions of the meals in short haul domestic first, it's another for an "EXP" to expect the same.

Additionally, on flights to MIA, which I take regularly, I am served champagne. In fact, when talking to an Aairpass representative TODAY, he brought up that American serves champagne on domestic flights. I had a mimosa last week flying back to LGA from MIA. This is not my first rodeo.
Expectations too high? Maybe. But the expectation of being able to consume any portion of the meal is not unreasonable. After I posted, my seat mate even commented on how bad the meal was, and he regularly flies the PHL-MIA route. I do not, which is why I brought it up.
