DEN-SJC, A320, Dinner

PDB of water or sparking wine offered. One passenger said "I'll have the champagne" and the FA responded with "Oh honey, there is no chance we're serving champagne on these short domestic flights!"
No hot towels or indeed any towels
Nuts/drinks/meal service all on an express-dining style tray. I think only the second time this has happened to me ever.
Salad was good, had it without the dressing as I don't love the red vinegar version. Bring Back Lemon!
The new Denver special - chicken enchiladas - was not bad. An order of magnitude superior to the dreadful cheese enchiladas (I realize others have very different opinions here!). Impressive effort to drizzle one with the red sauce and one with the green (guessing ancho and poblano, but this is airline food, so could just be red dye and green dye).
Old fashioned came in a bottle because the FA couldn't open it. When I requested it, she asked me when I had last had one on board. Apparently she hasn't been asked for it in "at least a year" and has thus never looked for it in that time so wasn't sure if it was still a thing. I managed to open it, but only after using a knife to pry away the seal.
