Not in my experience. I heard many complaints about the burger from fellow travelers. The other choice, whatever it was, seemed to run out first.

Breakfast on a flight to Europe? Really? Every time I've flown BF to Europe we've been served breakfast food at breakfast. Granted this was out of IAH — maybe it's different out of EWR? In any case, a cheeseburger is an odd choice at breakfast.

It was served on CDG-EWR, not EWR-CDG.

It's closer when it's against the salad but when it's up against say, the jambalaya, it seems to win all of the time. That's my experience at least.

On my flight last weekend, the jambalaya was winning hands down against the burger. IIRC, I was the only one in the first three rows to order the burger. I was surprised, as the burger always seems to be somewhat popular.

But it's listed on the menu as the last thing served as "refreshment" for a flight that arrives at 7:30am. As far as i can tell, it's the same both ways for EWR-CDG and it serves as breakfast for CO56 according to co.com

Anyone been on Co56 lately?

Really? That is, indeed, odd.

Yikes !
 

That first pic was scary. I wonder what the Congress of [fast food] Chefs would have to say about this.

Or how many expletives would Gordon Ramsay shout if one of his aspiring contestants tried to serve this!

Glad I'm a vegetarian.

Hmmm...have you taken a look at some of the vegetarian special meals??
I love vegetarian Indian food but some of it looks a little um...odd (the spinach with the cheese in it).
Once again proving that something can taste good despite its looks and that taste is so subjective that CO is smart not to be running around in circles trying constantly to "fix" their menus.

In the past two years, I've noticed that Continental's food has become much less healthy. My hunch is that by loading the food up with fat, they can serve less of it (fat makes you feel full more than protein/carbs).

True, but carbs are much cheaper (bread, flour, pasta, potatoes). And the definition of healthy is very subjective. According to some schools of thought, fat is healthier than carbs (and from personal experience, actually improves both cholesterol levels).

It depends how you mix them. Fat alone is fine, protein with fat is fine, protein alone - fine again. The trouble occurs when you mix a saturated fat with a high index carb which converts quickly to sugar....just like a cheeseburger :)
