  • Salsa and corn chips

  • Minestrone soup
  • Two kinds of cookies, both vegetarian
Have you been to a United Club lately? You'll be lucky if the lounge had half as much food after breakfast! Heck, I recall being at the HNL United Club and the only food item was edamame! I also recall another thread on the forum discussing the exact opposite problem (i.e. lack of herbivore options onboard and in lounge). Looks like AC is listening to their customers

That being said, the food options at MLLs can be all over the board. I've been to YYZ DOM and had a wonderful selection of pasta. OTOH I've been to the INTL YYZ lounge a while back and the menu was like above. I'd be curious to learn how AC makes catering decisions and who their caterers are?

What surprises me the most about the thread is canadiancow liking this complaint. I always thought cows were herbivores
