Only one person in the first row even bothered with the meal (I obviously declined and so did Mr. exquisitered - he eats beef but found the combo unappealing), and she was pulling the beef strips off. If it had been prepared separately, at least I could have eaten at the salad. Wonder if the FAs are ever asked to give feedback on popularity of meal choices - this one was a clear loser on my flight.
The FAs do provide feedback and it is very often tainted with personal bias making their collective opinions less than impactful to those who are listening.
