How are people liking the cheese lasagna? I have a choice between that and the Chicken Tikka Masala on my upcoming [domestic] flight, and I was thinking about getting the lasagna. After all, nothing like some pasta, red wine, and a few G&T's to make sleeping overnight in DFW a better experience.

IMO the lasagna is pretty standardized (though I usually eat half); the chicken anythingcan vary a lot - dry and ugly to mushy with everything in between.

The Chicken Tikka Masala is pretty gross IMO and resembles true Chicken Tikka Masala in very few ways. Lasagna isn't great either but will likely be the safer choice. Is this really an international flight? This is typically on the domestic menu.

This is domestic/Caribbean/Mexico meal service.

It is important to note that this chicken tikka masala is NOT the same as the "Chooza Tikka Masala" previously offered on IFS flights. I really enjoyed the latter. The "new AA" domestic version is pretty gross...the last time I had it, you couldn't even tell it was a slab of chicken and not some other mystery meat. It's disappointing... Along with the disappearance of the baked-on-board cookies and linen tray liners... 😢

2015 AA International Meals - menu /menus, photos, etc. (consolidated)
 

Just was on the aa105 and aa181 .. ALL of the food main courses and pre arrival options were inedible . Jalapeño chicken .. Tiny piece of overcooked chicken in a bland uninteresting sauce .. With undercooked ( almost raw ) potatoes with overcooked green beans .. Portion size was in line with a US domestic flight .. Not a transatlantic one . Pre arrival meal ( flatbread ) cold , tiny portion and tasteless .. Had a better pre arrival meal on KLM in Y class on my last JFK flight .. Was sat in 3J and heard F class passengers audibly complaining about the food ,
Also the salad was tiny in quantity and if I had that quality of salad in my fridge at home it would have gone into the bin !
AA 181 .. Main course beef .. Tiny , overcooked with sweet potato mash with a crust on it it had been cooked that long !
The only saving grace was the FL in JFK had great food that I had only a brief sample off before boarding ..

All in all AA 2015 food so far 2/10 bad show !

AA176 NRT-DFW Dec. 31

Since the 2014 thread is closed, I will post this here. A recent change is that the Japanese meal is now a regular menu choice, pre-ordering doesn't seem necessary.

The Japanese meals especially leaving Japan are very good. The breakfast was very good as well, the quiche had a light and flaky crust and the potatoes and asparagus were well prepared.

IME the Japanese meal on any airline ex-Japan is always a good choice. Ex-USA it is often not.

Domestic, PHL-DFW dinner flight. Thanks for your advice, looks like I'm sticking with the lasagna.

Served with warm breakfast breads and your choice of beverage.

No problem and good luck. Somehow your post ended up in the 2015 AA International meals thread. Hence my confusion. ;)

Were both of those flights in 2- or 3-class J?

BTW, why wasn't there a sundae listed in the dessert options for the GIG-MIA flight? I thought all SA flights still got sundaes in both F/J (and even presumably 3-class J, if this was 3-class J)?

This is what you get when you travel Y on a MIA-CCS flight. It was good, we used to get a hot course though. Choice was between this or sandwich. I took the sandwich inbound and wished i would have picked the salad, then salad was outbound. Noted that AA makes better salad than sandwiches, at least it has meat. Catering is always better ex-MIA than CCS.... , salad didn't look so pretty in Caracas.

Anyway, lets go with AA Y meal. (which got downgraded from a hot one). I have been told that 738 unlike 757 don't have ovens and blah blah.

Photo was taken with my watch so nobody noticed.
