What they had previously, when DL first enhanced the offerings. Grilled chicken, meatballs, BBQ, pimento cheese, etc.
Well that's just the thing, isn't it? The saag paneer spinach was one dish (among multiple hot options), on one day, in one Sky Club, in one airport. It's not as though Delta permanently adopted a full Indian menu across the Sky Club system. When I was last at JFK T4, for example, the Sky Club was serving chicken marsala, rice, and a vegetable I've since forgotten. All were perfectly satisfactory, in my estimation, though I'm sure some here would find fault. (Mushrooms! The horror!)
Sometimes I find snacks that I enjoy in the Sky Clubs. Other times, I find snacks that I enjoy... less. But I'm thankful for the variety, and interpret it as evidence that someone in Sky Club management is actually trying. That effort says a lot considering we're just a couple of years removed from the dark days of Scoresby.
It seems ridiculous, then, that a one-time sighting of creamed spinach inspired a thirteen-page gripe session.
