The other option was a Caprese Sandwich which was served with potato salad and an arugula salad.
I took the Quinoa Salad with Sliced Beef, which tasted fresh and refreshing. If it was presented better (no plastic) and had a better dessert, I'd say it was far above many pre-pandemic AA offerings.

Can't stand those grain chips though. AA needs to stop pretending their inflight offering is meant to be healthy and just give us a bag of Ms. Vickies.

A couple of weeks ago I had a “plated box” for breakfast JFK-DFW.
2 pieces of lox
shrink wrapped bagel
Fruit
Onions and capers
Flavored Greek yogurt
The bagel was of the sad admirals club kind but I was actually very satisfied with the meal, maybe since it exceeded my very low expectations from seeing photos of these 90% shelf-stable bread sandwiches.

I asked the crew on my last flight and they said that it is only temporary because apparently AA is out of stock but who knows if it's true or not, I mean, this is AA we are talking about...

These same cups are appearing on DL flights as well. Apparently Wessco supplies the cups for multiple airlines and is having supply chain issues, along with everyone else.

Won't be long before passengers will be expected to supply their own ice.

Sept 12th, MIA-LAX AA1061 (Sept 13th 12:10am actual departure)
Okay this was something I would never imagine. I was way down the UG list sitting in PE bulkhead, a pax in J came over and asked if I would like to switch seats with him so he could sit with brother together in PE. I had to ask him twice to make sure he wanted to give up his lie-flat for a seat swap. What a nice guy!
Also this flight was a disaster. First delAAyed due to high cabin temp, then delAAyed due to brakes went MX, then delAAyed due to loading the bags, delAAyed again due to unruly pax refuse to get off the plane and had to get LE involved, finally delAAyed on tarmac for another half an hour. When pilot announced "flights attendants please ready for takeoff" the entire cabin started clapping lol. Landed LA 2:10am, didn't get my bags until 2:45am. Went to bed at 4:30am.

I have to say I am so SICK of that freaking stupid tart. Its nothing, its crap. Also, the cold chicken app is disgraceful. Why cant we have a nice app, a salad, a sundae cart & a cheese plate like before Covid. Be LAX-MIA-LAX in 3 weeks and just hoping something as far as the menu/catering changes by then.
At least it was plated normal again but still no glasses.
What was the bedding situation, or was there none? Also, still no PDB ? Hot towel or still not yet?

Lol, I honestly missed that in my first look.
I was just so ticked off to see that pathetic cold chicken app and that same Tart i feel like i see that Tart in my sleep and its a bad dream. Serve a warm cookie, a brownie, a piece of cake, a panna cotta. Anything but that tart that has a hard as a rock crust and then is way to sweet. Weak Af.

When will we get over the "serve all at once" fetish? It is low rent and insulting. Nobody can make a compelling case that it is "safer" that way. European airlines are serving normal food in the normal way. The virus is no excuse.
