Probably could do hot sandwiches on flights that were 100% Boeing routes but wasn't one of the reasons for going away from hot dishes because the some Airbus fleet didn't have ovens. Maybe once the busses are gone hot meals will return.

So were there no hot meals in F on Airbus aircraft prior to COVID?

The Airbus don't have ovens in the back galley, hence, hot food for purchase in Main was discontinued. You still get warmed cookies in F on Airbus, right?

Can’t they just plug in an easy-bake oven in the back of the airbuses? Problem solved.
As a side note, second DEN-SEA flight in a row that the snack basket has not appeared. Was really looking forward to the Swedish fish, I chalked up my outbound as maybe a miscater, but from SEA would expect it.

The Kind Bar is also a more substantial snack option.
I prefer something I can eat without touching the food.
However, I had the beef jerky and it is the most substantial snack that doesn't includes nuts. To prevent touching the food with my hands, I can shake the pieces from the bag into my mouth like a school aged child does in a first class lunchroom.

I have an LAX-SEA 3 weeks out. It's already got a menu button but won't let me order once there. Still showing Harvest Smoked Turkey or F&C, but they've got some time to update it to something warm...
