Kids meals in D1?
During the D1 flash sale a couple of weeks ago I was able to upfare our already bought coach tickets to AMS this summer for about 200 bucks ea.
Yesterday Mrs. Woodenshoe asked if i was planning on requesting a kids meal for the little clogs (6 & 4). It hadn't occurred to me and I usually order them the kids meal when in coach. I tried searching if the kids meal is different in D1 vs coach but came up empty. Phone agents are clueless too (they just quote the website).
Does anyone have any experience with kids meals in D1? Both kids will generally eat pasta and both directions has a pasta option. If the D1 kids meal is the same soggy chicken nuggets and dry potatoes as in coach I'll probably skip it.
(Also - yes, the little clogs are behaved little travelers)

Shows how infrequently kids sit in D1 that Delta have no menu for them.
Nice that they have the opportunity though.
I have only walked past D1 seats myself.
It's always the back of the plane for me and my family except for the occasional domestic 1st class upgrades.

Flight to DTW (breakfast):
french toast, and the rest of the standard fare
DTW - MUC (dinner):
Appetizer: Cheese, crackers, grapes, orange-chocolate mousse, other snacks
Dinner - Chicken nuggets, cooked carrots, some starch
The rest of the meals were kid oriented. The worst one was probably the return snack as we approached DTW; there was some sort of sandwich with onions and other non-child friendly food.

Have you tried an email to customer service? They might have a bit more time to research the question than the average phone agent. I wouldn't hold my breath, but the information exists somewhere and it would just take a few minutes to locate it. Typically, each airline's reservations system should have sample/example menus for each type of special meal by cabin. It's a question of finding someone who will take the time to look it up.

Woodenshoe - please let us know how the kids meal in D1 was if you decide to go that route after your flights.
I'll be flying D1 with my 4-year old in Nov, was trying to decide the same thing (whether ot get him the pasta from the D1 menu, or a pre-ordered Kid's Meal).
