In short, bad.
It's a poor piece of some vague variety of white meat slathered in an oddly brown colored, very goopy/saucy gel like substance. If you're a fan of chicken piccata in its typical form, I would say you'd be pretty appalled by what will be plated in front of you. Come with crunchy rice and frozen green/wax beans.
The artichoke ravioli, while not really great itself, is definitely less bad.

My choice is to have the nuts and a drink then sleep, skipping both meal services. AA meals are quite detestible and Flagship F is now the same as is Business, which is to say borderline inedible.
Of course I only from international F or C a few times per month. Possibly there are routes that ar4 better, but I doubt it.

Upcoming 6/19 BOS-DFW shows pre order options of Chicken and Pear salad, w/ roasted beets, goat cheese, . balsalmic vinaigrette or Kale and spinich Ravioli w/ Mediterranean tomato sauce . I know the common wisdom is to stick with the Pasta dishes. any track record with either of these? RT

I noticed that the manifest only notes the meal category -- in this case "SEAF" for seafood.

Cannot pre-select meal online
My flight was upgraded (using 500 mile upgrades), but I do not see an option to pre-select meal under reservation options. It's a LAX-IAH flight departing before 8 PM next week. Is upgraded flight not eligible for meal pre-selection?

I have seen this happen if there is meal service, it does not save. This happened to me when I was trying to save the selection while the upgrade was still on request and not processed. Once ticketed I was able to save.

In my case there is nothing to save cause the option itself is missing completely. The upgrade is confirmed.
