Does anyone have a preference between these two options on my flight to Tokyo next week? I don't know what "country Captain" means? Is the chicken on a bone? My husband has a weird thing where he won't eat anything on a bone, but if it is off the bone he can eat it...he also hates mushrooms and truffles, so that choice is kind of out for him, although I might like it. Thanks for any thoughts...ignoring the real world and enjoying this pressing problem in my life is good for my mental health 
OR
Braised Chicken "Country Captain"
with buttered basmati rice, haricot verts, golden raisins and almondsOR
Pasta Mami's Wild Mushroom Tortelloni

Choices for JFK-BOG. Has anyone tried the seared branzino yet? Any other suggestions on this menu would be welcomed!

We had the egg and Swiss in eastbound C+ earlier this year so they’re patently not upgrading the second meal in PS yet.

I'd pass on it if ever given that choice again.

Today’s 10:05am SEA-ATL lunch options were charcuterie, Hempler’s chicken salad, and the fennel flan thing. Not much uptake on the latter, as I didn’t see the FA walk by with those until he was serving row 4 - so assume the other two had run out. The chicken is essentially thick-sliced deli meat but serviceable for lunch.
The fruit side was actually a highlight: wedges of pear with blueberries and a bit of fresh mint and lemon zest.

DTW-SFO Dinner - Handmade Artichoke Ravioli
I had the artichoke ravioli for dinner on my recent DTW-SFO flight, and it was actually pretty good. The sauce was a little heavy and I would have enjoyed some extra tomatoes, but I'd probably eat this on the ground. The dessert was also quite good, though I'm unsure as to what exactly it was. I believe it was a berry gelatin on a vanilla custard, but I'm not confident. The FAs kept the light off all flight and I didn't feel a need to blind my cabin with the overhead light, so it was tough to see what I was eating.

Some selections specify a certain minimum amount of time prior (e.g., 24 hours) to request a given meal.
