Which flights serve ice cream / sundaes?
I admit this is a silly question, but so be it. Is there any rule for which flights get sundaes in C class? I know flights to Europe do, as do JFK-LAX/SFO, while shorter domestic routes such as JFK-MIA typically don't. How about a four hour flight from MIA-UIO?

Not all flights to or from Europe in business get sundaes. Neither do all flights between JFK and LAX/SFO. Not having flown to UIO I can't speak to that route, but it would be dependant on time of day and the type of catering. What equipment will you be flying?

It is a 757 departing MIA around 4PM. Return is out of UIO at 10AM.

I think Sundaes are only in first class long-haul international and transcon, unless there is no first class, in which case business class will get sundaes (e.g. 763, 757).
They usually have ice cream, but not Sundaes, in business class (when there is a first class cabin) on the same routes (int'l long-haul and transcon)

I thought they were standard on transcontinental business and long-haul intl business. There are lots of pics of them on airlinemeals.

they also serve them on AA766 from DFW-LGA which is a 737 and 2:30 hr flight. This was my experience this past month taking that flight 4 times.

Dinner: Sludge
DFW/ORD-HNL

(Thanks to HIEXP, post 17)
Europe/Asia/Deep South America

I might be wrong on the DFW-West Coast sludge, but someone will soon enough know the answer for certain.

I was on a SFO JFK flight in January and we received sundaes. However, they were of lower quality than usual. Previously, it was vanilla ice cream with a choice of raspberry or strawberry syrup, or hot fudge (I always asked for both ) served by the FA. Last flight, it was rock hard chocalate with mini marshmallows that was obviously made and deep frozen ahead of time.

it is kind of harsh (although hilarious) to call the pre-made ice cream "sludge".
i really enjoyed my sludge on recent NRT flights in J! Also got some sludge on 889 ORD-LAX in 757 F.
True, it's not as good as the made to order sundaes, but still... much better than whatever they are serving in coach on the same flights.
Sludge!
