Do they pass out the noise cancelling headphones/tablets. i know some like dfw-ord they dont but that is much shorter.

That's what I thought about the moussaka from the description too, but since it was the only option I gave it a try and was pleasantly surprised. A little unusual, but I found it had a good flavor and I cleaned my plate.

Based on above recommendations, I had the Chipotle Bean Pot Pie - it was good but too heavy - could eat just half of it. The salad and appetizer were sad.

On J to Shanghai, I ordered "Char Siu Duck" from menu. Turned out it was the exact same dish as "Roasted Duck Breast" with curry lime sauce, coconut jasmine rice, broccoli and peppers served on routes to Tokyo.
It is not char siu duck (Cantonese barbecue) at all but tastes surprisingly good. ^
Does AA switch name of the same dish on routes to different markets?

Recently had the best (on an airplane) filet yet between NRT and DFW. The FA did an outstanding job of ensuring it was done a perfect medium- it was tender, juicy and flavorful. The meal was all-round excellent ^
Appetizer and salad- also delicious:

I also love how AA manages to get Italian, Indian and Japanese in one dish!

Had the Roasted Cauliflower Orecchiette - creamy tikka masala sauce, edamame, grilled herbed naan on JFK-CDG yesterday.
There was no naan, 3 small cauliflower florets, and a handful of edamame. Was basically orecchiette pasta with a bland tomato sauce. No tikka masala flavoring at all.
And the new fruit and cheese lollipop small plate(grapes(3) covered with goat cheese, sunflower seeds, and then stabbed with a stale pretzel rod) was disgusting.

Why airlines play around trying to be chic with items like piri piri sauce, then completely botch the preparation, is a real mystery. I would design 10 meals that are tasty, reasonably healthy and can be prepared well in the air-meal process with a high probability of success. I think most customers would welcome that.
I guess we'll have to start bringing our own food into Business Class like we did 10 years ago in coach. Oh wait-there are other airlines....

Does AA do meal on demand in business or economy on international long haul at all? In other Asian carriers I flew lately I see FA leaving notes for passengers sleeping in Y during meal service and they get the heated meal when they wake up and ask for it.
But I've never seen AA offer anything like that in Y let along J cabin (there's express meal in J but that's different) and I'm wondering if it's possible to request it? The closest thing I see AA's FA do is stuff the mid flight snack box for Y service in the seat pocket of the passenger sleeping.

LHR-JFK
77W
Dinner/Business Class (cleared the last seat I think as #1 on the UPG list).
PDB of bubbles, OJ, Water
I went with the beef and oxtail ravioli which was very good.
pre-arrival snack was really good too (steak panini type sandwich). sorry no pictures of that.

JFK-LHR
777 (refurbished with rear facing J seats)
Coach (gasp!) Dinner + Continental Breakfast
Service didn't start until almost two hours into the flight due to "turbulence" which was extremely light and shouldn't have been an issue to wait so long.
Chicken + rice (was really more like orzo) or pasta. I went with the chicken below:
double gin + tonic to start to help knock me out after the meal
Breakfast box sounds very similar to what AA just announced they will be offering in main cabin on the JFK-LAX/SFO transcons during breakfast hours (inside was granola, flat top muffin, and a dried fruit mix).
