While I think the changes to the snacks are appalling, I don't think you are accurate regarding the increase in snack flights. Yes, that is true on short-hauls like ORD-Northeast. But most longer midcons (e.g. DFW-either coast) no longer have snack flights in their mix and serve full breakfast, lunch, or dinner on all or nearly all flights.
On UA's p.s. flights, you get 3 choice instead of 2 on AA.
In addition, there is no appetizer on AA's transcon lunch...

UA transcon lunch (these were pics from 2011 and I believe the meal is
better now.)

IMO, DL is the clear winner in transcon catering and this is only J.
Plus, unlike the swill that both AA/UA serve, wines that one would actually buy and drink at home.

Correct. Should have been more specific. Other than JFK-LAX/SFO, DL catering in Upgrade Class is horrid.

Not to mention UA requires an instrument in order to sit in J, even for elites, while AA/DL give complimentary upgrades for elites on LAX/SFO-JFK.

Though agreed that AA's lunch catering on trans-cons needs to be stepped up pronto.

Reminder
Hi folks - this thread is starting to wander. Please help us stay focused; we're discussing AA's domestic meals in this thread. (General discussion about other US airlines' catering and upgrade policies can be done elsewhere.)
Thanks for your understanding and cooperation! /Moderator

Haven't been on a mainline AA flight in 3 months. It's been shorthaul CR7s, ERJs, and lately, now almost all CRJs.
All my AA meals have been the pasteurized Swiss-type flavored process cheese food tray.

Now I see where the "fake cheese" went when DL dumped it from its clubs after a campaign against it on FT.

ORD-MIA 1078 737 Boeing sky
"Torta" with spinach and red pepper and potatoes and chorizo on the side. Fruit and choice of biscuit or poppy seed muffin. Actually it's more like a tortilla/spanish omlette and was really good, fluffy and not too salty.

What's being served on DFW/OGG these days? Looked all over the AA site and couldn't find anything.
