UA 783, DEN-SFO 10:14 AM Jan 3, 2007

Posting only because I was a little surprised at the options offered on this flight, which I thought was nominally outside the lunch and breakfast meal windows. I was expecting a fruit plate, but got:

Pre-departure drinks offered (water & OJ on tray, but saw other requests accomodated). This was a jam-packed 757, btw.

Warm nuts served after takeoff.

Choice of salad with glazed chicken breast OR turkey sandwich with tomato soup. I chose the salad, which was actually quite nicely done -- the chicken was not too dry, and the glaze (sort of an asian sesame sauce) worked well. Both choices were served with a hot chocolate chip cookie (served -- unfortunately, imho -- at the same time as the main dish). Meal orders taken front-to-back, but orders prioritized by status (i.e., I noticed some pax being asked for their "1st choice," while I was simply asked which one I would like).

Hot towel service shortly before landing.

Overall, I was quite pleased by the service and food offerings on this short-ish flight.
