I had two last week and thought both were good. Not great, but definitely not bad.

HNL-PHX in J the most disgusting "taco salad" last night. The meat smelled BAD! Not to mention it was next to impossible to open the container. It was served on a tray though

However, the answer to your question will depend on when you're flying, as the meals are in flux.
I did read through it.. i guess i was hoping for more of a “favorite” type thing or a stay away from thing like that taco salad comment. Thank you for tips i see things are not standard at this time

I much preferred the previous turkey croissant/sandwich to the new one, I've left my sandwich 2/3 uneaten most of the time. Only advantage for me is the fruit.

I ate every last crumb on both last week. One was the lunch turkey pastrami sandwich, and one was the breakfast turkey sandwich. I never had the prior turkey one so can't compare. The side salads and brownies were also good.

I have not had the breakfast one, only the lunch/dinner one. Yes, the brownies are to die for, but so was the previous chocolate chip cookie.

From a AUS-CLT flight about 10 days ago. The chicken and couscous salad was a bit slimy and I ate it with some trepidation but had no ill effects. I miss the previous sandwich or fruit+cheese plate option.

I will say the fruit was fresh and a higher end mix (melons, blueberries, strawberry, raspberry) than what one would typically see on a flight. The tub of dressing made no sense.

Out of curiosity, how was the cinnamon churro bar? I've only ever received a brookie bar (combination of brownie and cookie).

Good! Although I liked the brookie bar better.

What meal (or lack of it) should I expect on ORD-SFO flight (1846 miles) I have on Sunday 3:28 PM departure?
Haven’t flown domestic F since July so not sure if I need to eat at the airport.

Sliced turkey roll on a ice cold bun with sun dried tomato and cream cheese spread and a slice of some kind of cheese.

MCO-PHX A321 8:51 departure.

No PDB drink, the FA stood up exactly once from the jump seat during the flight. To serve the "meal". He sat there playing on his phone the entire flight.

A lady boarded and loudly announced to everyone in First.... "My son has a peanut allergy, nobody can have any peanuts anywhere near him"

This was described as Salmon and a Bagel. Weirdest bagel Ive ever seen. The salmon was shredded and looked more like tuna.

A smarter thing would have been to grab a bagel and cream cheese from the club.
We had this on 2 flights in a row. For flights that depart after 9 am in would be nice if they could eliminate the yogurt and granola but offer a better sandwich and a salad.
