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.
AA2: JFK-LHR: 7pm
Dinner
777 (3-class)
Business Class
(from here, share the menu, experiences and/or photos)
Historical Meal Reports
In the mood to enjoy a throwback? Enjoy reading international meal threads from years past!

MEX-DFW
Oasis 738
Lunch (pasta or sea bass options)
Truly strange FA up front......Row 4 didn't get their meal (and first drink in-flight BTW) until we started initial descent.

Is that supposed to be the pasta or sea bass? Looks ghastly.

These 2 posts, back to back, are hilarious and reinforce my previous statement

The last time I tried the snapper it was rubbery, so I would not recommend that.

2 Flights coming up in F. Will doing LHR-LAX and also LAX-HKG both in March.
Wondering what the group wisdom is about the options
LHR-LAX
LAX-HKG
LHR-LAX I was looking at the Beef Cheeks or the Chicken
LAX-HKG I was looking at the Beef or Duck
Think someone said in a previous thread the Chicken with Truffled Spelt was quite good.
Will utilise FFD also.

aren't those MEX-catered nuts the best? I love them. I tweeted AA about it and they are different.
