Unclear what UA is currently doing on EWR/IAD-Hawaii but probably.
I think Delta is doing hot meals (plus an arrival meal) in addition to free booze on their ATL-HNL flight. Sad.

FA isn't too thrilled to be here but not a bad flight. After the initial drink service the brought out a blue tub of boxes and said "Protein or Vegetarian?" to everyone, which of course no one really knew how to answer... I got the protein box as did at least the first 8 others I heard, not sure what's in the Veg box or how many of each were catered.
The box had a decent "turkey pastrami" sandwich with arugula, cheese, and some sort of dill spread. I don't ever buy turkey pastrami (or any pastrami, really, unless I'm at Katz's) but from the looks of it I wouldn't have guessed it was turkey... the marbling looks like beef to me. In any event, it was reasonably tasty. No additional condiment was available but I didn't find it too dry. Nothing had ingredient labels that I could see, though I didn't look on the bottom of the box.
Potato salad was a small scoop atop arugula. Perfectly serviceable.
"Caesar" salad was just spring mix (including some arugula, must be on sale!) with tomatoes and parmesan and a side of Naturally Fresh Caesar dressing.
I didn't eat the cinnamon chocolate cake bar but my neighbor ate hers first and seemed to enjoy it so I gave mine to her and she was thrilled.
All in all, a strong upgrade from just getting the turkey havarti sandwich.
That potato salad is making me nervous just looking at it. Sandwich looks tasty, although I do hope it was actually turkey and not beef. Big problem if they are incorrectly labeling food. As someone who doesn't eat red meat I wouldn't have been too thrilled.
Almost looks like what CO was offering in Y in 2010 right before they axed their free meals in the back of the bus.
