Having had to have chosen Alaska for some recent flights SEA-SAT & return, its nice to see that someone still offers real meals on flights. I'd swear that one 'meal' on AS was cold cuts bologna & cheese on a plate. At least AA makes an effort to provide a meal.

choice?
I have a flight coming up from SXM to MIA in December at 9:30 AM that is listed as a lunch flight. First, lunch, really? is this correct? [I have a subsequent lunch flight MIA-ORD at 1:55]
Second, the only "choice" that I am given for this lunch is Tortilla Soup. No other alternative listed. Will this really be the only choice? I don't see this elsewhere on this thread but am I better off just not making a choice for that flight and hoping I will have a real choice once on board?

And, if I were to guess, this is an IT error. You'll probably end up with a choice of two lunches. Do a fake booking for another Caribbean flight in December. You can see the meal choices right after you enter your name/birthdate and get an idea for the likely menu.

AA288 ORD-BOS F Dinner
I had the cornmeal crusted chicken last night on a dinner flight ORD-BOS. It was actually pretty good, the spicy ketchup style sauce they served with it was great. I'm still surprised (and glad) that AA is serving full dinners on a 1h 45min flight like that.
I didn't receive a menu, so no idea what else was offered.
Did get PDB + drink order taken for after take off...warm nuts too. Single tray, served from cart (FA Cathy was the only one in F and she was extremely pleasant and quick, great service).

thanks for the info on the sxm-mia flight. will try to see if I can fake something to see real choices - though not sure it matters much if I can't choose before I get there.

Choices were a buffalo chicken salad or a grilled chicken breast with mashed potatoes and corn. I figured they would run out of the latter option, but a disconcerting number of people declined dinner ("ARE YOU CRAZY??!!"), so even though I was in 6A and this was an even-numbered flight, I got my choice. It came with the obligatory side salad with creamy black pepper dressing. The chicken was accompanied by a ramekin of some sort of odd tomato sauce; somewhere between picante sauce and marinara. Really didn't taste like much of anything. Entree as a whole was good though.
Bread choices were pretzel breadstick (my choice), cheese bread (declined due to underwhelming past experience) and something else - whole grain I think? I made the right choice, as the pretzel rod was delicious.
Dessert was baked on board cookies; chocolate chip or white chocolate macadamia nut (I chose the former).
Interestingly, mints were passed out about an hour before landing.
