There is a teriyaki-glazed salmon that seems to come up a lot too. The dessert is a choice of made-to-order sundae or fruit/cheese (fruit/cheese is offered as the second service on DFW/ORD flights).
Of course, morning flights are a bit different from lunch/dinner. Like AFS, there is a cereal choice and a hot meal choice. The hot option is Hawaiian themed and I've seen macadamia nut pancakes, a sweet bread french toast, and a new item - portuguese sausage quiche. The entree is served (as with all other AA breakfasts) a fruit plate, choice of pastry/bread, and drink. Prior to landing, they do a drink service with warm nuts and baked on board cookies…
Thanks for this,
HIEXP. I am now hungry
I'll chime in and agree that the Hawaii F service is always a cut above domestic two-class F services
and a cut above domestic three-class J services (if you disregard the seat and IFE, especially on the LAX routes). Although I'm sure I don't fly the route as much as
HIEXP, I do have to make the trip from LHR to HNL every month or two for meetings and I'm rarely disappointed by the service on the segments to/from HNL.
They used to offer Mai Tais in F, but I haven't seen any recently. Would be interested to know if they are still served. I do like the Hawaiian sweetbread on the side and the flower is a nice touch.
At a rather chilly YUL now, looking forward to my next HNL trip, in about ten days' time!
