The menu is accurate and there are no meatballs this month.

Checking in on some domestic dining, including LAX options:

Mushroom Herb Ravioli


As I believe someone commented, it's mushroom month at DL. The ravioli features mushrooms both inside and out. Was pretty decent, less a fan of the salad.

Classic Beef Lasagna


I'm really glad this got reviewed earlier in the thread, or I would not have chosen it. "Beef lasagna" on a plane makes me expect the sort of thing you might get in an English pub, but this was a high-quality lasagna without too much beef and oil (puddle notwithstanding), and a nice touch of pesto. Lasagna reheats well (of course), so I think this an excellent meal option.

Sun-Dried Tomato and Pesto Pizza (the limited options are "secret" and I didn't save the official bill)


The "Neapolitan" pizza has been discussed a lot in this thread, and this is from the same line (prepared in LAX) with different toppings. I really want to emphasize that this pizza is much better than it looks, because it looks terrible. I would not go so far as to call this good pizza, but it's acceptable and I think it's a reasonable choice to order. It just seems like the recipe is not optimized for the small size of the pizza, or for the reheating process, or something. On quality scale, it's significantly better than Pizza Hut or a Hot Pocket, but not something to pass muster at a decent pizzeria.

Spinach Ravioli



Also served with artichoke. I think this could also be a good meal, but on this flight it was baked into oblivion onboard (and I guess possibly on the ground, but I think it was the plane oven the killed it). I still found it acceptable-ish, but it tasted like a TV dinner you microwaved too long because it was heated to the point of overcooking the pasta.


Bell's cookies in all are honestly quite tasty, but would it really kill them to plate it?
