As in....that's the last time I actually saw one in domestic F.
The most elaborate domestic F service I've seen in years has been on US. Yes, US. They bring out a snack basket that has 3-4 choices (chips, cookies, *and* pretzels!!) UA is just snack mix.
If I get to a third Heineken, I feel like I've seriously overworked the FA.
Good to know there's still a little grub on the transcons...
I do a lot of ORD-OGG sometimes routing through DFW/LAX and the grub is not as bad as some people say about airline food. There are a couple unpleasant meals like the mushroom pasta of some sort which ends up an oily mess or the roasted chicken breast with petrified green beans, but hey.
I've had the sundae on a few flights and by the time they've added all the toppings, you're in sugar heaven.
I think the big sources of calories and fats are the warm nuts (love those), bread and butter, dessert (cheesecake), free drinks, etc. Those alone can easily pack on over 1000 calories.
Maybe it's just me, but I generally don't have those types of foods at home so there's less of a chance to eat them. As I eat them frequently, I then buy them and it's all goes downhill. LOL
