But I do agree that tiramisu is pretty good in the afternoon/evening.
I'd respectfully disagree. The lobster salad, lamb, and French toast on the Acela outclass anything I've seen on a domestic F flight. Premium transcons and international service are another story—some of those meals can match or slightly exceed what Acela has to offer.

For NEC travel, no airline in any class comes close to the Acela F meal service...the flight's too short to offer anything worthwhile!
