Your meal service sounds pretty typical of United these days, for whatever that's worth.
Not a big deal, but apparently the special meals (including gluten free) are available on domestic p.s. Premium Service flights. I wasn't on a p.s. flight, so absolutely right that no special meal of any kind would have been available.
Maybe I've been lucky, but that meal hasn't been typical for me. I fly BF a fair amount and this was by far the worst meal I've had, at least in terms of nutrition. This was on my return flight -- the meal on the flight to EWR was quite manageable. Not great cuisine, but not a total carb fest, either.
In any event, this was a chance to vent a little, which I clearly needed to do. LOL. I truly did learn my lesson and I won't count on being able to eat the meal point forward. Thanks for listening.
