AA used to serve shrimp with cocktail sauce on some routes. When did they stop?

I honestly can not remember having these with the last few years. (Not to mention old shrimp handled by airline caterers and stored on land, in trucks and onboard are not my favourite form of roulette.)

I had it last Friday on SNA-ORD. One would think this is a route-specific thing.

ROFL! Neither to Jews or Muslims... dietarily proscribed. I'm wary about their preparation and handling - old bugs = drippy tummy at best.

yes.
I can be near shellfish without getting a reaction but some folks are so allergic they can't even be one seat away from someone eating shrimp.
The risk/reward for the airlines is obvious.

AA doesn't have cocktail sauce with shrimp when the caterers don't board it or the flight attendants serve it. Domestic 1st class dinner service.

I'm sure one of these days the roulette wheel will turn up double-zero, so to speak, but until then I find shrimp difficult to resist (even airplane shrimp).
