Personally, I haven't found the fruit and cheese plate to be inedible and gross at all. However, it is rather repetitious -- luckily, they sometimes add a few slices of deli meat (as mentioned by Bliss above) for a little variety.

Considering all the other changes made RECENTLY (last few months), this issue would come pretty close to the bottom of my list of things to complain about with UA.
I agree...the red-eyes have had the fruit/cheese plate for a LONG time...I recently had it on the SFO-IAD red-eye (longer than SFO-HNL btw) and thoroughly enjoyed it...especially with the addition of the cold cuts...how can it be "inedible" when it's just fruit, cheese, and cold cuts...they didn't do anything to it to make it inedible, it's very simplistic and frankly A LOT healthier than the prepackaged snack foods being sold in the back. Frankly, I've never had anything in UA F that I didn't eat but I suppose if you haven't been in Y for awhile, one could become a bit picky...lol
