It would be nice to have a second option (Mediterranean anyone) since some of us still have multi-segment flights.

I have two flights tomorrow that are 100% sold out (which probably means at least 50% of the seats are taken and the rest left empty for social distancing) so I would only expect traffic to increase the closer we get to the typical summer travel season.

I have seen a couple of appearances of the Mediterranean Tapas box as well; it contains: "Hummus, apricots, tortilla chips, almonds, olives and chocolate." I am a food hoarder so I have two NW Deli and a Tapas box in my office for "emergency" consumption.
The Tapas box has more food, FYI. It's 5.73 oz and the NW Deli is 4.18 oz.

I think the NW Deli still sounds a bit better....I'd be ok with the Tapas box if you replaced the hummus (yuck) with salsa to go with the tortilla chips and replace the almonds with cashews and everything else sounds ok unless the chocolate is dark chocolate in which case it needs to be switched to milk chocolate.
Are you the guy that when the staff sees the reservation book for the night and you're in it, they suddenly all come down with a Premier malady and go home sick?

Would you eat the hummus if it were not only organic, but you knew the name of every chickpea before it met the food processor? Are you the guy that when the staff sees the reservation book for the night and you're in it, they suddenly all come down with a Premier malady and go home sick?

My point is that if you are traveling again one type of snack is going to get tiresome very quickly. That is based on the comments over the years in the lack of options and that they never changed often enough.
