Quick question. I know that AA does not do special meals on non trans-continental domestic flights. For vegetarians, breakfast is fine (cereal option) and dinner is typically fine as well (pasta) but lunch typically does not have a viable meal option (since even the 'salad' is usually a chicken salad) and often the 'snacks' don't either.
In these cases, has anyone in F had any success in requesting a complimentary snack from Y menu for purchase (say the cheese and fruit plate) instead of the regular meal?
Especially for EXP's (who'd be entitled to the free snack if they were in Y anyway). Thanks!

Is anybody else sick of the "continental breakfast" which involves yogurt and a fruit plate? I've had it multiple time on DFW-ORD and ORD-LGA. I always tell my self I'll pass but I always say yes.

I prefer it. I don't like eggs, and it's pretty close to what I eat at home (at least when I have fruit at home).

Anyone have any idea what a 9:45am snack will be from ORD-DFW? Is it more breakfast or more lunch?

I mentioned this meal on the "pre-order" thread but I thought it was notable for mention here due to it being a new item (new to me at least).
I was in F on AA299 from MIA to LAX last week. This is the 3-class 777 bird. Anyway, they were offering three breakfast options: Eggs Benedict, Egg Quesadillas, or Cereal (I don't know if the J cabin offering was the same). I opted for the Eggs Benedict and it was dreadful. Just didn't taste good at all. The Hollandaise sauce was not good.
I do congratulate AA on trying new dishes. I've had the new Roast Beef Wrap, Quiche Lorraine, and the Chipotle Chicken and all were winners. The Eggs Benedict was a fail I'm afraid.

AA's chicken breasts are usually very juicy, particularly the ones they put on top of the salad in 3 cabin F. I don't know how they do it. The breasts are not faux processed chicken like what United serves either.

I tried the shrimp and cheese grits last night on a DFW to SEA leg. The entree was one of the better ones I have enjoyed. The meal included a small number of shrimp nicely prepared. The cheesy grits were a nice consistency and flavor. The dish was accompanied by a nice succotash with a great flavor. The meal worked very well and my seatmate raved about the meal.
FA said the menus changed just yesterday and this was a brand new item. She didn't think it would go over well and was pleased to learn it was a great selection.
