I don't like them either. I am happy with the cereal/fruit/yogurt plate.

Besides, Ruth's doesn't serve breakfast. We could go there for dinner...
Bloody Mary's + Steak and (Quail) Eggs @ Ruth's = LATE (really late) breakfast

I'm hungry.

My complaint is the current omelet is using something akin to cheese wiz. A few months ago, the rotation was a much tastier spicy cheese blend, which was actually pretty good.

They had to do something with all the fake cheese from the SC.

To be fair, though, AA has served a lot of cold cereal F breakfasts over the past decade.

As others have posted, cold cereal (with fruit salad, yogurt, and pastry) has long been the standard breakfast offering on flights between 900 and 1500 miles.

Just had my first cold Delta breakfast in a while this morning and was disappointed to see that the warm croissant/bagel had been replaced with a prepackaged muffin top (!). I thought it odd that the plastic-wrapped thing was served on a plate. The FA even made a joke about Delta being unable to afford a whole muffin.

Have there been other muffin top sightings, or was my experience an anomaly?

i would take the muffin top over the croissant that was seemingly rolled over by the plane during taxi....

My vote is that Delta introduce oatmeal. One of the best airplane breakfasts I've had in a long time (possibly ever) was on an AA flight where I was served steal-cut oatmeal with cinnamon and raisins.

That is a great idea! Could be like what Starbucks offers in the little cup with topping packets and even sold on the EATS menu for breakfast.

+2. Give me a bowl of corn flakes and I'll add some banana slices to go with the muffie top and fruit bowl.

Light years tastier than a Goodyear omelet.

Oatmeal is disgusting....you offend far less people with cereal.

My breakfast yesterday was: 1) Chex; 2) Fruit; 3) Yogurt; 4) Muffin Top. If you can't find something to eat out of that combo, then you've got a different issue.

As for why no hot breakfast...DL still serves hot breakfasts. It depends on the route and the equipment. You can fly an MD80 to the moon, you're not getting a hot breakfast cause it doesn't have any ovens....

Guess they took out the ovens to make room for more F seats
