Isn't that meal a D1 meal? It looks far too edible to be an economy meal.

My best guess would be that collard greens are sometimes cooked with bacon or pork fat. Either that, or the wings are the "when pigs fly" special.

The smoked brisket seems like it should be good, the bbq wing surely has pork from the greens,

Authentic collard greens are usually cooked with a smoked ham hock, and then once done, any remaining meat on the hock is shredded into the greens. So that's definitely where the pork us at.

y’all are probably right about the greens

as for the brisket, Mrs767 doesn’t much care for either mustard or pickled peppers and I don’t eat beef

Had the beef short rib ex-MSP a few days ago. Not a ton of flavor. The mushroom soup was alright.

I just flew DTW-ICN-DTW in Delta One.

Somewhat disappointed that the meal is served all at once. One purser offered the meal to be served one dish at a time or expedited meal service. If you chose the former he then announced that since the whole Delta One cabin is having expedited meal service I would have to wait until everyone was served.

Just seems that on a 12-14 hour flight leaving mid-day you would have time to serve the main meal slowly without rushing.

Sounds like an easy way for the FAs to give the customers a choice between the two-- but word it so that everyone is going to end up picking the one tray service ;-)

Well done collard greens (Southern style) are truly fantastic. Enjoy.

Sorry for the second post about collard greens, but if they're done correctly, they're truly fantastic. I am new here and can't figure out how to post directly in reply to another post instead of having a new one appear down below. Sorry.

No meal when I flew it in FC earlier this month.

Ended up selecting the roasted chicken leg after the picture of the smoked fish salad was posted to the forum. I have to say it was quite good. The chicken might have been a tiny bit dry, but with the jus it was good. I'd happily order it again.

Ordered a Bland meal for my wife who didn't find any of the selections from the 3 x Spiced Menu.....

Didn't take a picture, but was served a chicken breast, spinach and some starch which we couldn't identify -- was kind of like couscous, but not. The entire dish was DRENCHED in garlic. Kind of an unusual way to cook food for something they call the "Bland Meal"
