AC's System Wide Schrodinger Beef
On 115 right now and I had both the chicken and the beef. I had the chicken before and it was quite nice. This time around, the chicken strips were not really strips, but more like shredded chicken - could not finish the plate. The SD had one extra beef which he offered as a replacement and it was marginally better. The beef was mushy - making it look like the meat in both dishes had been over-tendrized.
The beef dish on AC system wide would do Schrodinger proud.

From time to time, I have seen fully "formed" strips of chicken (like what you might see in a salad) for this dish but not this time around - more like "melted" chicken. I have a picture but can't post it right now...

What does one get on an 8:40 am flight on a CRA? YYC-IAD if that matters, AC8102.
Should be breakfast presumably. But no oven, so?
(My wife asked me and I don't seem to find the answer.)

Perhaps if I got that same FA, s/he would meow to truly indicate pussy cat meat.

I've been thinking this morning...and I don't know why this just hit me, but it hit me pretty hard.
Anyone ever look at that starter, and go, that is absolutely pathetically sad? I mean, the entree looks fine, nothing special, but the salad reminds me of the pathetic looking entree on UA for a while (you know, the sad pathetic pizzas or whatever?)
The starter on AC has me making a "grimaced" look on my face right now. I usually skip it, so maybe that's why I haven't thought much of it, but looking at it right now, lying on my couch, man, that's sad.

The bread is fine. Your analogies are hilarious! 
What's wrong with the bread? When it's heated just right, + add the margarine from my SPML, it's not bad. Then again I don't eat the meal...without other add ons, but the bread never struck me as overly bad. The salad though, is incredibly sad. It's literally DYING on the inside

One time in J with my friend, I bopped him upside the head with a breadstick and he actually yelped out "OWWW! ... man, that hurt!"
Instead of nightsticks, the OPP and the RCHHMP can use AC breadsticks. It would save them money and they would have an even more lethal brute force weapon to use.

You've got to be kidding me. The AC bread is brutal. I've flown on 9 European carriers in their J cabins and their bread (like LH's) is amazing. Soft, warm, and delicious. I'm not even a bread aficionado. That's how bad AC's baseball bats are.

LOL
Yeah I can sort of see your point. On other carriers I can't have their bread. BR serves garlic bread, as an example, which has garlic butter, which I can't have. So my only reference to bread on an airline is AC's bread. I guess what they say is true: ignorance is bliss

AC bread
I think AC uses two different types of bread onboard.
The domestic kind I do not like. It's rectangular. . It's either hard as a rock or chewy (not the nice kind)...rubbery.
On the international flights the bread are fantastic - they are the baguette variety with the pointed ends... I enjoy those .
