I was on a EWR-IAH flight this weekend and out came a full meal. Pizza, salad, and a candy bar. I inquired when my kosher meal was, but was told there are no special meals except on bi-coastal trips. My ticket indicated that there was only a snack offered, therefore I understand the claim...HOWEVER continental is blatantly trying to get around having to give out special meals by calling this amount of food only a snack. I was really bothered. Everyone was satiated and I was starving. On the way back, they served a turkey/chicken sandwich, salad, and a candy bar....I had a ginger ale.

I called the customer service line to complain and was told that it would be noted for future review.

It used to be that even short flights you could get an alternative. On previous YYZ-EWR flights I had a kosher hot breakfast of an omelet, bagel, and fruit. Guess they are trying to save costs. I am quite unhappy about this.
