The cold plate is one of my favorite CO offerings, though I think I've only had it on PHX-EWR red-eyes, when I'm generally not very hungry. I've not had it with the ham, but I do appreciate the chicken and shrimp variety.
Keeping with the abbreviations, perhaps "the cold plate" could be TCP. Oh wait.

Not to worry: starting March 2, CO will "remarket" its meal service, which probably means that you will see less of the cold plate, and more of the pretzel bags...

"Remarket"?
Darn, they must have figured out that we know the real meaning of "enhancement"!
Can't "enhance" the meal service anymore, guess they'll "remarket" it... Anyone think the WSJ will post a follow up to their recent CO (thats continental, yanks) fluff piece?

Bad Gordon!
No Freddie for you!

I believe they call the 'cold plate' something other then a meal!
"Would you like to join us in a snack?"

Has UA been stealing words from CO's dictionary?

I hear "light snack" or "cold plate."

When offered the cold plate, I always refuse and ask for several packs of peanuts or pretzels and a Sam Adams . . .
Joey, you can have my cold plate. They're pretty nasty.

At least Continental serves food on its flights.
I'm in NW coach with the other walking freight on an 8 segment rdtrip and only 1 of the 8 segments even lists a snack! Guess It'll be Corkey's BBQ and granola bars again.

Well, I have to side with those who like the cold plate. Ahh, fond memories, heh heh: I became elite only last year, and on my first upgraded flight (a red-eye SFO-CLE), I was offered the "cold plate" and didn't think much of it, especially since it's listed in the schedule as a "snack." But when it came, I was actually impressed with all the stuff on there. I'm like, this is a "snack"?
