Any info on JFK-LHR-JFK in J would be appreciated as well...hitting that this week. Thx!

Edit--sorry I am on last night flight out and last night flight back, both presumably dinner service!

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.

I can post JFK-BCN-JFK in Y, if anyone is really that curious and/or desperate for pictures of AA's food, haha.

Excellent! I'm flying this in a couple of weeks.

One of our mods, dstan, has a thread on the AA DEL flights as well:

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.

Not sure this has been discussed or not.
