Each time I try it, it struck me as a blander version of mashed potatoes. Although I think my only experiences with it have been in the air (seems to be a popular side lately on a few domestic carriers).
I kind of want to try it on the ground as part of a normal meal sometime in case my perception of it has been tainted from airplane meals.

AA.com says my LIH-PHX red eye departing at 1045pm gets dinner. I didn’t think they served that late but maybe it’s changed. Any insight?

PHL-DEN 6:45pm departure
Short rib with Mac & Cheese
Harvest grain bowl with salmon. Pretty good and appreciated the more healthy choice!

Pre-ordered the short rib and it came out as bad as I thought it would based on others’ data points above. Worst piece of ‘meat’ and potatoes I’ve had in a long time,. Appetizer and salad were decent though. FA working my side was excellent and friendly.

I do brown butter with shaved parm & some roasted red peppers. I like polenta a lot but I would take garlic mashed potatoes anyday but that said there are far worse mashed potatoes than polenta. Mashed potatoes with russett or fingerlings I cant stand. Has to be red potatoes, lot of garlic, use cream... And preferably skin on. Yukon gold I love too thats my 2nd choice.

PHX-LAX last night had a nice side salad... Good quality lettuce, cucumber, a couple tomatoes, some red onion, olives & feta cheese. A very good balsamic dressing too, better than the fancy ones that come in the little bottle on the Transcon routes. Packed bread roll so not ideal & a brownie cookie.
