How does DL prioritize meals in F / DeltaOne? This is a big issue in the UA and AS forums where we find both airlines only stock a limited number of each choice and AS even runs out of choices based on pre-orders. UA is supposed to prioritize for 1Ks but even then you can be shut out if your choice is popular. I will not be happy if I am stuck with kale salad or a chicken salad sandwich.

ANC-MSP: Prosciutto sandwich, chicken salad sandwich, or ancient grain box. I chose the prosciutto sandwich and it came with chips and a cookie. The sandwich itself was tasty, but still overall too much bread compared to meat/cheese ratio. Attentive FAs, seemed to be offering refills frequently, but I fortunately fell asleep soon after eating and slept all the way until the 10,000 ft ding descending into MSP!
***
ATL-MSP: Smoked salmon salad, turkey sandwich, or teriyaki grain bowl. I tried the salmon salad, and while it was tasty, I struggle to actually call it a "salad." It was a very small portion of salmon, an even smaller portion of lettuce, but tons of tomatoes, red onions, kalamata olives, and potatoes. Oh, and there was half a boiled egg in there too. Overall just a hodgepodge of small bites. The best thing about the box was the pumpkin bread. Very unmotivated ATL based FAs. The flight leader looked at my seat mate and myself and said "You guys want lunch?" No refills offered despite intentionally displaying my empty cup prominently.
Do the sandwiches and salads come with condiments and dressings on the side? One of my pet peeves are pre-made items that already have mayo or "aoili" slathered on the bread. Ditto for creamy salad dressings. None of these work for my digestion.

Choice of Mezze with veggies, kale chicken salad, or this Salmon with Quinoa/veggies and I think a tzatziki sauce. It was cold, but very tasty and good quantity. The little brownie was good and the crackers were good too.
Further to my last comment, it looks like the tzatziki sauce is on the side of the plate and not slathered on top of the salmon, which is a plus. That looks like the ideal meal for me!

That looks like an international menu - I gather it does not reflect what is currently offered for DeltaOne domestic flights?

Do we have any clue on the hot meal menu? Are the QR codes on the DL website?
