I was aboard OS from VIE-BER and everyone in business class got served a meal, bread service, followed by coffee service on a 50 minute flight! The purser did it all by herself for the full A320neo business cabin!!! After the trays were collected, they had time to go around offering pralines from a basket!
UA definitely loses the food battle, but they do win on seats.

I remember flying CGN-FRA because our car service was fully booked my day of travel and LH served a decent mid-afternoon snack of cheese, fruits, bread and cold cuts with two rounds of wine service. It was like 20 minutes from takeoff to touchdown. But folks, let's be realistic, those days are gone.
Anyway, the US domestic market is a different beast compared to intra-Europe. I like it when the FAs pass around the basket saying please take two items if you would like. That makes things clear and you don't risk getting your wrist slapped.
