Sometimes I'll rearrange the contents to use only half of the bun by making it a very thick half sandwich. This works very well when the bottom part of the bun is soggy or drenched in mayo etc.

Domestic mainline FC lunch on a flight of about a thousand miles: (cold) lemongrass chicken over Thai noodles or (hot) smoked turkey breast with melted cheese sandwich on the pretzel bun.
I picked the hot sandwich (and hope there will be a bag of good potato chips on the tray) but I plan not to eat most of the bread.

I just had this same experience. There's no link in the app to pre-order, but I got an email 48 hours before my Endeavor Air lunch flight MSP-IAH with my entree choices. Options, in case anyone is interested, were the charcuterie plate or the chicken puttanesca ciabatta melt. I went with the sandwich; in my experience the charcuterie plate is decent quality but not nearly enough quantity.

DL 2136 TPA-BOS 1-14-20.
Choices were
Muffaletta Sandwich
Chicken Farro Salad with balsamic lemon and honey
Pre ordered the sandwich and it was awful. Soggy on the bottom and luke warm. Nclue what the dessert was supposed to be and never seen it before on a DL flight. Another terrible meal from DL.

Those are the options on my upcoming LAX-SAT flight on SKW. I picked the sandwich as well, we'll see.

I've never seen a sandwich sitting on a bed of lettuce before.

I had the muffuletta sandwich about 3 weeks ago and I actually thought it was good! Not soggy, quite filling, and lots of flavor. Sorry to hear the above mentioned one wasn’t good. For dessert we had one of the Dancing Deer molasses cookies. Sounds like a miscater to me on the chocolate fruit/nuts.
