Thanks for the trip report!
It seems to me that United Global First has adopted all the former Business First meal services from Continental. The mid-flight noodle soup and dessert service is the same as Continental BF (just curious if United Business receives this service). The dessert cart featuring ice cream sundae and mini-pastries are also similar to Continental's BF.
Good to know that you made it before the mess that will surely start today.
