I agree that it is stupid that you cannot confirm this in advance, but UA loads sufficient vegetarian meals and now you know.
Even though I have migrated/defected to AA., when "forced" to fly UA TATL, I eat before I get to the airport or at the airport and then pack snacks for the rest of the flight....no matter what meal you get, the UA TATL Y food is beyond disgusting. This way, I have no expectation of anything other than a seat.
