No, the enhancement is when we can order in advance and online.

This is lipstick on a pig.

This feature just came in handy. Was perusing the menu for my flight to FRA on AC874 next week and realized that the only item of interest to me is the sablefish.

Then I remembered (with horror) @24left's helpful PSA and quickly decided to order a KSML (which I heard are pretty good out of YUL).

While the "correct" execution of the sablefish looks quite appealing, I'd rather not take my chances.

But still, kudos to AC for finally releasing this feature . Perhaps online meal pre order is next?
Add kit kat to the pre order list.

That omelette has been a staple in the AC lineup for 10 years with little to no variation

The omelette dish is polarizing.

You either love it or hate it.

The sausage the comes with the pancakes is usually hit or miss.

I prefer to think about it that you love it in the beginning and then begin to hate it as time goes on

One thing I did notice on my last YVR-YYZ was the first meal option to go was the Healthy Option. Still plenty of omelettes and pancakes left

Same! I still remember the first time I had it on YVR-YUL in April 2016, oh man it was soooo good.
X times later is more like ugh guess I will eat it cause I am hungry lol.

I think the omelette is the only AC dish that hasn't been enhanced for the past 8 years or so.

The cheese and peppers have been gone from the salad, not to mention that AC used to claim their salad to be organic. The steak gets smaller now and less vegetables. Same for the cod dish.

Let's be careful here though... the omelette dishes served on international routes vary widely depending on route. And most aren't the same as the NA variety.

+1. On many flights from Asia something called "Chinese style bacon" is served instead of sausages.

Are they referring to this stuff? Or this stuff?
