The short rib was just like the regular one out of of ATL with those changes. I did notice the flight attendant at the end of the flight walking down the aisle with the big blue "refrigerated bags" which is what they keep the sad boxes. I asked and she said "these are the meals for the return flight.. Also for the record DL DID allow pre-select for the outbound ATL-GCM, including even a special "Shrimp and Grits". I do appreciate DL stepping up their game and providing a true meal on the ATL-GCM (and I assume other routes that were sad box since COVID) however I will still complain that DL is just to cheap to provide the proper catering out of GCM as there IS a catering company out of GCM that provided DL catering pre-COVID and provides other airlines catering currently out of GCM.
Ah I see.. so they need smaller trays to double cater these routes?

What was actually offered:
- 2 crackers
- 7 olives
- 6 dried cranberries
- 3 slices pasturized process cheese
- 13 cashews
Really feel like we would be better off if the authorities determined that Alp and Dell garbage was not fit for human consumption
