Several offers of beverages! Thank goodness I switched to sparkling water at some point. It came with a lime each time.
Lunch: I was asleep in 2A during order taking. FA apologized that the only choice was now chicken sandwich. I thought it was delicious. Ciabatta bread, chicken breast slices/chunks, cheese and bacon. There was a bag of chips and a mint chocolate. I had cutlery to slice the sandwich with, so I treated myself to two separate halves. I figured out that the other choice was a protein plate, but I could not get a good view of it. 1D and 2D were empty (!) and 2F also had the chicken sandwich. 3D had the protein plate but I didn't want to stare at him to try to see what was on it. Hard to imagine any surprises though. Pre-order not available, presumably because QX was operator.

Hey everyone!
I am booked in FC on ELP - SEA on a QX E175 in March, and I am wondering what the meal service will look like for a dinner flight with block time of 4 hours. From what I can gather reading other posts for meal service on QX flights, it will be a choice between a sandwich and chips or a protein plate. Is this a safe assumption?
Does QX usually also provide PDBs, warm nuts, and/or Snack Basket passes on these flights?
Any info would be greatly appreciated!

I would say the Chicken Sandwich was a good choice for a warm option. It did need more aioli but was tasty. Comes with chips, which my partner really loves.
Cold choices or either Fruit and Cheese Platter or Protein Plate.
As far as switching from breakfast to lunch, I thought it is 10:30am. Perhaps, they are now changing over after 10am??
Probably depends on catering at airport.

FA did offer a PDB (OJ or Champagne). I know that's a different thread, but I'm lazy.

The meal was indeed excellent, NoLaGent. I'm glad I opted for the chicken over the pasta option as it seemed more substantial. Not a huge fan of raisins in the couscous but overall very pleased. AS meals continue to delight; so much better than American or United's catering.

AS is far better than the Big 3 right now.

Ditto the Thai noodles with chicken, the buffalo mac and cheese, the cold noodle salad with sliced beef, the (paltry) fruit and cheese plate, the egg-white pastry and about 800 dried-out Ghirardelli chocolate squares!
