I'm on AS #140 right now, ANC to PDX. Our lunch in F is a sandwich made of press-formed turkey parts and a side salad. And a chocolate.

Back in Y they have the option of the (by comparison) magnificent cheese plate or a pulled pork BBQ sandwich that's made with real meat, not processed byproducts.

Yes, lunch in F is "free" but the quality is questionable. IMO this lunch is inferior to the Y product.

Now tell me this ... why can't First have a lunch that's better than what's available in Coach? Or at least one that's equivalent to Y class (but free with the ticket/upgrade)?
