01.02.13, DFW-SEA (737, new seats), 12:55p departure, lunch

No pre-departure beverage.

Very odd flight. Passengers were offered three lunch choices:
1. "Beef tenderloin salad"
2. Pastrami sandwich
3. Chicken salad sandwich

The beef tenderloin salad (which I had) was typical catering (and was good -- very flavorful dressing, 3 strips of beef, field greens, and some thick noodles). However, the other two options were from the coach buy-on-board meals. They were served on meal trays with linens, but were wrapped in plastic. Each sandwich was served with a typical first class small salad.

Oddly, white wine was served from a large bottle, while red wine was served from coach splits. And all water was served from small bottles (like the ones given to each passenger on an AA transcon).

I guess it must have been a catering error.

Service was OK -- kudos to the FA for being creative with lunch given the catering issue @ DFW. Just wish he would have been more attentive during the after-lunch portion of the flight.
