Transatlantic business class meals
Hi,
I am travelling BOS-LHR on the overnight flight and then back LHR to JFK on a evening flight or LHR BOS on a morning flight. Can you please tell me if I can view the menus anywhere? I am trying to determine if I may be served a chicken meal.
Thanks,
Andy

AA does not post their menus anyplace online. Some FT'ers may have menus from some flights ...
The only menu AA posts online is the Japanese menu for NRT trips.
IF you want a specific meal .. remember FEBO in your seating plans.

I thought the universal rule was some sort of Chicken, Pasta or Beef maybe fish on all TATL Biz/1st menus. Anyone get one without either Chcken, Beef, or Pasta.
Also it is unclear, does the Op want chicken or want to avoid it?

For dinner there is usually a choice of four entrees divided by category: Beef/Chicken/Seafood/Pasta. If you want a particular choice, especially among the less provisioned entrees, you will particularly want to adhere to FEBO. For example, in J on a 767, they provision only four of the pasta entrees.

There are usually four options, including a beef and a vegetarian (pasta, risotto, etc..) Chicken and seafood are not guaranteed as the final two options. Lamb seems to show up fairly often on LHR flights.

You can ensure your meal choice by careful attention to FEBO. Front Even, Back Odd.

A chicken meal is offered on virtually every flight. I'm tempted to say "every" flight "always", but then someone will come up with a once-in-a-lifetime exception to prove me wrong.

It does seem like there is always chicken, a fish/seafood dish, and a pasta/or-non-meat dish. I just cannot recall what happens to the beef dish if a pork or lamb obtion is offered.

Can you still reserve a special meal (e.g., kosher or seafood or ...; there used to be a long list)? I wonder if you could get chicken that way.

FAs take meal preferences starting at the front of the cabin on even numbered flights, and start at the back of the cabin on odd numbered flights.

Though a bit dated, this announcement gives some info (and links within it) for photos of what has been served over the past year:

What everyone said. Just back LHR-LAX, choices were: salmon, chicken, pasta, lamb. I was toward the end of FEBO and heard the FA tell the next row the choices were chicken or pasta.
