When I first started flying AS they had 2 options or the fruit & cheese plate, and one was usually something healthy. It was fantastic. I would happily forego two options to go back to higher quality. I will admit I am an obviously picky eater, but I used to always have an option. Chicken covered in sugar has never appealed to me, and I know better than to get my hopes up for airline pasta.
My favorite meals in recent memory have been the redeye salads (the beet salad with chicken, and the vegan banh mi salad). Sadly those are gone for now from first class, and once confirmed in first you can't pre-order food for purchase from the back.
