+1 Same literal thing (turkey breakfast->quiche->turkey sandwich) for DFW-MEX next week. And I had pre-selected the quiche, which I was kinda looking forward to trying, and they auto-selected the turkey sandwich with this change too. What’s happening with ex-Dfw catering?

been checking for weeks looking for the final sign of a return to normalcy... the death of the turksmegwich
a week ago, turksmeg-> quiche
selected quiche
today the FA says "mr speedbird you selected the turksmeg"
me: no, i selected the quiche
fa: no you didn't, you selected the turksmeg
me: i'll take the salad
fortunately i had purchased protein before departure expecting shenanigans
doing what they do best!
and why do they call it a greek salad? there was no feta, and 4 olives
it's a fricking salad that used to be served alongside an actual entree
fares have doubled
AA can afford real cAAtering

Anyone know what they've been serving for any of the specialty meals recently?

Only one I ever do is Asian Veg b/c it will have cheese which I want (not a full Vegan and have no actual dietary issues). Recently had some paneer masala with rice on 1 flight and also some chana bhuna on a diff flight . Typically its Indian which I love.

Am I correct that everything on the hot plate comes on it from catering? They don't piece any of the hot items together? IE You can't request something included on the main hot plate being left off?

I always have the chicken sausage thing held off of my breakfast with out any issue but its my understanding that yes it comes together but i ask them to remove before heating it so the smell doesnt take over the plate. I think the answer to your question depends on what item you want removed. Like if it was roasted potatoes or mashed potatoes maybe the FA wont want to sit there and pick off 7 or 8 pieces of potatoes or scoop of mashed potatoes. But I would think anything can be held off, within reason, if the FA is willing.

One time there was a curry in the chicken dish. I asked the FA if the chicken came in the curry already, or did the FA add it after the fact and they said they add it manually, so I asked them to not put it on mine and the request was honored with a smile.
