The 11:30 JFK-LAX flight today on Boeing was a little different. Coffe & Orange Juice offered as a PDB. After takeoff and the 10K bell the first round of drinks were served. Nuts came with the second round before lunch was served. The Cod was excellent. About 30 minutes later the snack basket came around. About 90 minutes before arrival, ice cream was served and then another round of the snack basket about an hour out. Drinks were proactively kept full throughout the flight. Excellent service.

Choice of Tumeric Chicken or Mushroom Risotto. I got the chicken which was pretty decent. A hair overcooked. The salad had significantly more crisp veggies in it which was nice. Standard AS bread roll.
Desert was the warm chocolate chip cookies....yes they are back.
The Snack Basket came through 2 times.

Departure time:05:30
Menu: No
Meal description: Breakfast
PDB: OJ; followed by one of the best smoothies I've ever had (forgot ingredients, but it did have Ginger in it) then oatmeal w/grapefruit on the side, scrambled eggs and the BEST bacon I have ever had on a plane (and in most restaurants). Crew were fantastic and my drink was always refilled. 5 star service.

Route: DTW-SEA
Flight Number: AS 793
Departure time: 3:20 PM
Menu: No
Meal Description: none given
PDB: No
Plating/Serving Order: Salad, roll, & entree delivered all at same time
Turmeric Oregano Chicken Breast - Boneless chicken breast marinated and roasted with olive oil, turmeric, lemon, and fresh oregano. Served with a Vadouvan curry infused lima bean puree, tender roasted radishes, thyme jus, and micro basil.
Asparagus Risotto - Creamy risotto with crisp asparagus, lava beans, roasted wild mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, and fresh pea shoots garnished with cherry tomatoes and shaved parmesan cheese.
I had the Chicken, partner had the Risotto. We each tried a bit of both and both tasted great. Chicken was a bit overcooked but I’ll likely stick with this choice for future flights as I have concerns about how consistent the risotto will be (based on the rice w/ fish dish from earlier this year which ranged the gamut for me from borderline oatmeal/potato mush to dry as a crisp).
As others have noted, cookie appears to have been switched to Chocolate Chip. Ours was delivered immediately after dinner (by far the fastest post dinner to cookie delivery time I've had) and was an absolute mess (but delicious!) - could only imagine how tasty it would be if eaten alongside some ice cream.
Overall, much better than the Delta One food we ate flying AMS-DTW that same day.

I too had a “...?” moment, but it tasted just as described. Personally love lima beans though, so ymmv. I wish they were a bit “wetter” (if that makes any sense) to compensate for the chicken that wasn’t on the drier side, but no. Also thought the radishes were potatoes at first - they were great.

Snack basket
Another passenger inquired about purchasing a fruit and cheese plate from the back and was told they weren’t stocked on this flight
