Flew from CDG to ORD a few weeks ago. Meal choices in coach were Alfredo & mushroom pasta, Shepherd's Pie. Side items were the typical small salad, cold bread roll, crumble cake, and Laughing Cow cheese wedge.

EZE-JFK in J on the 77W and I see FIVE choices. I've never seen that chicken stew dish before on an AA menu. BTW does anyone know how to more easily transfer the menu options from AA.com to this site from a MAC? It's a very tedious copy and paste process.
- Panko Crusted Beef Filet for EZE to JFK
creamy polenta, roasted pumpkin, cherry tomatoes, parsley oil - Roasted Leg of Lamb selected for EZE to JFK
roasted potatoes, ratatouille, mint cream sauce - Galinhada selected for EZE to JFK (I had to look this up and it's a Brazilian chicken stew dish)
pumpkin rice, roasted asparagus - Pan-seared Sea Bass for EZE to JFK
pesto potatoes, braised fennel, mango-oregano butter - Roasted Zucchini Risotto for EZE to JFK
lemongrass, coconut milk, carrot and zucchini noodles

This got moved from a thread about AA90 (daytime flight to LHR).
"On board this flight right now in business class. Some things that I noticed: no nuts with aperitif, starters are really weak (yogurt parfait). It probably depends upon the crew, but don't expect them to stock wine on the cart (despite the menu). Meals are quite minimal in quantity (the beef hash has maybe three small inch-sized pieces of beef among six bites of eggs). It's a snack-sized portion, if that (and almost no protein). I wish there were more traditional lunch meals as some of the options."

#beware of overly vague meal reviews.

Has anyone tried any of these lunch entrees? These are my options on an upcoming MAD-JFK flight.

Hello from Buenos Aires!
JFK-EZE
LAA 77W
Dinner/Breakfast
PDB of bubbles, water, OJ and refills offered (BTW only one revenue FC seat was taken.....rest were all non-revs per someone I know with insight that I was texting with).
Had the tamarind beef filet which was good and pretty interesting as a sauce for beef.....no complaints. Everything served on the tray at the same time given the late departure.
I love this route because you actually have enough time to eat or watch a show and then properly sleep before the breakfast service.
Really nice FA crew too!
Happy to report that the mid cabin J galley was FULLY stocked with wraps, sandwiches, snacks, water, silverware roll ups etc. I had a beef wrap mid flight which was actually really good. Minor issue with galley noise right behind my seat, but that bathroom behind 4J is very spacious (just like the 737MAX LOL).

BTW - SkyTeam777 - your FlightMemory map is beyond impressive.

Anyone else having issues with pre-order links not showing up for JFK flights at the end of the month? I’ve got several and wondering if I’m the issue or aa.com

EZE-JFK
77W
Dinner / Breakfast
Standard Int'l PDB, with multiple refills offered of bubbles
Menu
Main dish (all served at once due to late timing of the flight). I had the Galinha (or whatever it's called) which is a chicken stew of sorts from what I could find on Google searches.
Breakfast (bread pudding, but was really just like a slice of a veggie frittata)

I've had the Monkfish- it was actually really good. I've got the same menu on upcoming FRA-CLT and I've preordered the strip steak. My travel mate ordered the truffle ravioli. Curious to see how these other items stack up.
