Instead, Delta provides an entree in a plate that is easy to tip, while serving fine drinks in plastic cups, or coffee in a paper cup.
This was a specific downgrade made to PS service last summer as the 777 rolled out... along the same time as domestic connections began to book into W instead of A. So sadly this isn't a forgetfulness issue, it's by design (and I suspect due to galley space restrictions on the 777).
