Just curious when American Airlines will change the light meal service from Europe to USA... I don't fly transatlantic much, but that Asian Chicken Salad (which is too sweet) or pizza meal is truly awful. Time to change... Too many pizza - I wonder how many pizzas AA has bought and kept in stock... how about a sandwich or a salad with healthier ingredients? Maybe on UK to USA flight, tea sandwiches and scones will be nice... I assume if UA can serve it, it is not that expensive to serve tea sandwiches and scones.
About the chicken fried steak, definitely agree... not good for airline menu item... AA labels it as an "American Classic" item... I know CFS is possibly cheaper to serve, but if you want to serve a chopped sirloin steak, how about a simple meat loaf? Or a grilled chopped sirloin steak with gravy... "fried" food is never good on planes and does not survive the frozen and re-heat process well...
Here is the menu and you can look at the CFS:-
