Westjet’s nice but much smaller meal in Premium:
Due to timing I was usually ending up with Breakfast. Perhaps it is years of the AC omelet with the spoon full of cottage cheese and that weird salsa but I was finding AC meals OK but predictable and not overly inspiring.
WS was more creative. There was a time it was creative in a bad way (e.g., the salad phase and weird thing they thought was stake sandwich). However they turned it around and were starting to get much more creative in a good way.
My doctor would be pleased if I am getting the smaller WS portion size. Ignoring his encouragement to the contrary.... out of those two photos I would be more inclined to go with the AC main dish, but definitely the WS salad and desert.
I would give AC a + for portion size. WS a + for variety and creativity.
We do need to get these guys competing on quality of service instead of just price.
