Anyone have insight on the JFK-NRT route...J class meal service. I am a vegeitarian so usually call in for my special meal but always hope for them having another veggie option on the regular meal service since the special meal AA has is VEGAN.

LHR-JFK J Dinner/Snack Service 19 Jan
Starter was smoked sesame salmon rolled with cucumber in a Thai sweet chili dressing, along with the usual side salad.
The four choices for the main were:
1. Grilled beef filet with shallot sauce (with truffle gnocchi, which sounded quite good)
2. Chicken Provençal
3. Seared scallops (with a creamy "lime champagne" sauce on the side, with mushrooms and asparagus and rice pilaf)
4. Rigatoni with cream sauce
Snack was choice of pesto pizza or warm turkey sandwich on olive ciabatta with some sort of eggplant-tomato sauce. Both choices came with another side salad (this time with feta cheese, I believe) and a blackberry-currant mousse cake.
I opted for the scallops as my main and the turkey sandwich for the snack. Overall, everything I got was v good (especially enjoyed the starter with the smoked salmon).

Same on ORD-FRA.... Chicken Tikka was good
A bit strange to have the standard no meat pasta replaced with the sausage infused lasagna.
