EWR-SFO, 4:45pm departure. Same PDB option in a plastic cup. Drink then came with the nuts before the meal.

I forget what the entrée choices were, but I went with the chicken. It was fine I suppose.

I initially saw that photo and thought "oh, they've restored first class meals to pre-pandemic standard" (which I remember back in 2017/8 got a lot of complaints on here when they cut back from the previous catering with ice cream etc) then I saw this was a premium EWR route
