Introduction
Welcome to the 2019 version of the combined AA meals thread, focusing on international. To help give us a clear picture of your experience, remember to include routes, times, meal designation (breakfast/lunch/dinner/snack/refreshments/none), and if you want, seat number. Photos are welcome and very helpful. Those are guidelines, but of course, the format/style is all yours. Of course, discussion of improvements and/or cutbacks, questions, and thoughts are also welcome.
Format Sample
This is a format you can use when introducing your meal report. This is just a sample format; deviations are expected and are okay. However, if the flight is taken on a 777 in Business, please clearly indicate if you're in 2- or 3-class Business. If you want to see other examples of past formats, check out historical Int'l meal threads - or just post the same way you've always done.

Has anyone every had the rotisserie chicken? Right now I'm leaning towards beef.
- Bourbon-Glazed Salmon- fig and roasted pepper orzo, sugar snap peas, cherry tomato
- Santa Fe-Style Enchiladas- roasted squash, baby spinach, queso fresco, grilled corn
- Peppercorn Seared Beef Filet- pomme anna, truffle butter, port wine sauce, sautéed asparagus, shitake mushrooms
- Rotisserie Chicken roasted fingerling, red wine sauce, haricot vert

Guess I'll find out - switched my preorder from the "Miso Crusted Beef Filet" (jasmine rice, garlic broccolini, butter miso sauce) which just sounds like a fancier version of the domestic meal.

The TV girl doesn't look too happy with your pre-dinner drink and mixed nuts.

Since when are meals offered on CLT-SDQ/SJO in Y for free, and any idea as to what they consist of? I know DFW-SJO always got meals and I know they extended that offer to CLT, but I thought they replaced that with BOB a couple of months ago.
I'm booked on SDQ before Christmas and "Dinner" shows up, as does "Lunch" for SJO in January.

AA DFW-NRT PE Meal Service
Just wondering if anyone has experience of the meal services in PE on AA 175 DFW-NRT and the return AA 176 NRT-DFW, I can't seem to find much online.
Is it a lunch/dinner service, or lunch/breakfast? Outbound is blocked at 14 hours, is there a snack or anything in the middle?
The times are a little odd so I thought I'd ask. If anybody knows of any typical dishes too I'd appreciate it!

What would you do?
EXPLAT flying to Central America (BZE) in J for the first time. Not surprised to see it’s more of a domestic set of choices, but unfortunately I cannot select AV meal or any of the other choices usually offered in domestic J. My choices are as follows; any suggestions? As you can see, I’m leaning towards the fruit and cheese since the rest just sounds unappetizing...

I tried to pre order ORD-NRT for next month.
It did not offer a Japanese meal either in the regular choices (3 of them) or in the special meals.
Has AA stopped offering JPML options?

It has been offered on every one of my DFW-->NRT flights, and it was showing as an option on my 11/11 flight. With that said, I only choose the Japanese meal when flying back from Japan, which in my opinion, it is much better than when leaving from the States.

I had the salad, rotisserie chicken and American breakfast. All were very good.
