Service began about forty-five minutes post-departure with the below package of snack mix and a drink. Thankfully UA has decided to bring back an IPA which is a vast improvement from before.
The choices for dinner were the piri piri chicken (below) or a pasta dish. I did the former which wasn't bad, though it lacked much flavor. I forgot my extra packets of hot sauce I usually bring aboard flights for this purpose. The roll came in a plastic bag and was barely room temperature.
Post dinner, the FAs came around with a small bottle of water for everybody. I slept on and off for a few hours, so I don't know if they offered any sort of mid-flight snack. I also didn't venture all the way to the rear of E-, so unsure if anything could've been placed out.
A little over an hour before arrival, the FAs came around with the breakfast sandwiches (choice between sausage, egg and cheese or just egg and cheese) which seemed like a huge improvement over my last UA TATL in Y.
Overall it wasn't too bad for TATL Y, though I am glad I had a decent meal in the lounge prior to the flight as the portions are still fairly small.
