US stations presently have a shortage of the Parsley Omelet and will be substituted for the rest of the month with Swiss & Roasted Tomato Omelet with potato and chicken sausage, out of DFW and Broccoli frittata and chicken sausage out of the rest of the US stations.

I have had it a bunch of times lately. It gets tired fast.
Yesterday on an Express flight the choices were the usual pancakes and omelette. Orders did not appear to be taken by status and the first two passengers took the 2 pancakes loaded (not that I would ever order pancakes). The FA didn't really bother to apologise to myself or the other super elite next to me. Just said all I have left is eggs...
The usual inconsistently inconsistent.

I had 2 transcons in J YYZ-YVR, 1 flight they do each meal separately like the before time and they other it was everything at once. Like I havent even started eating my main, how would I know if I want desert/cheese or not (plus where would I even put it space wise?)

At least there's been a choice for awhile now.
I'm just happy that spirits are back!

First TCON J flight in ages for me. AC118 YVR - YYZ yesterday.
Fairly average / unspectacular service and food. I did like the wines, particularly the Austrian white and the South African shiraz.
The salmon appetizer is decent. The chicken + porcini is alright, seems more like a premium economy dish.
Brownie dessert pretty solid.
For some reason the crew were offering only one of the dessert, cheese plate, or fruit despite the menu indicating the cheese plate was its own course.

The dessert/cheese plate thing was brought up recently. IIRC a semi-formal response from one of the respected unofficial AC lurker SDs was that it is one not both, but both may be offered if there is enough go around.

You should've flown last year at the time when there was only one choice and everything was boxed!

From the first series of flights. ✈️😃
YYZ-YVR
May have been Miss Vickie & Lindt service.
YVR-YUL
And first meal on the refurb A333.
Love the salmon appetizer.
I actually like this Poitrine de poulet, sauce crémeuse aux cèpes, pâtes acini di pepe, brocolis
(I may not feel the same way if it's going to be served for 6 months like the Texas chicken was.)
The menu shows it as separate line item (as discussed a few times in this thread).
OUTSTANDING.
Trolley service and the first time I noticed Courvoisier as it wheeled down the aisle.
😋!
YUL-YVR
Cheers @DNAwizard
(as he noted in his post https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/33573077-post319.html )
Cheers with the cellophane croissants.
AC's other mystery "Case of the Missing Creamers" now solved. Not just for crew anymore.
YVR-YUL
Greenery. 🌿🌿🌿 But much better than the old salads.
Didn't take a photo of the hot meal.
