On my previously-mentioned diverted IAS-LAS flight, they offered anyone in F a BOB meal if they wished, because otherwise the only choice was pasta. They didn't trust the chicken, because they thought re-heating it might be bad. Re-heating because it couldn't initially be served due to the turbulent that continued, without interruption, for two hours, and started almost immediately after they had put the food in the microwaves to prepare for serving.
I opted for the BOB Chicken Caser Salad, which was probably a better choice than either of the normal F entrees (the chicken or pasta). They set up all up for nicely, with everything that would have come with the chicken meal, sans the chicken.
The BOB meal entrees have been quite good, in my humble opinion. I think the opportunity to buy a better food offering than the free low-quality stuff they used to provide is a step up.
