It’s the pathetic “meal” that Delta is serving in first class.

Sad Boxes as an upgrade meal service
no more fumbling for lost nuts in your lap
Upscale meals wrapped in cellophane that you don't have to open with your teeth
Utensils that resemble fire kindling material l

enjoy

Not a fan of the wooden cutlery. It reminds me of the wooden tongue compressors Dr's use. They trigger my gag relex and make me want to vomit.

I have a question for those of you in the know on all things DL...so, the last time I flew in Premium Select, the meal service was essentially a Delta One meal minus a couple of things. However, I noticed on the website that Premium Select meal service is now the same meals as in Main Cabin.

Is this a COVID switch or permanent switch? I looked at AA and UA and it appears they are still keeping the elevated meal service. It's not a deal breaker, just seems kind of cheap for DL.

Or it could be both ;-)

But I don’t think DL has really indicated either way with the Premium Select meals, so only time will tell.

Chose the short ribs for JFK-LAX today. Wasn’t bad at all. When did PDB start back for delta one. Almost forgot how much of a treat it is to have a drink while boarding is still going on.

Does anyone have an ingredient list for the Domestic First meals?
 
I've gotten meals on a couple of longer flights in Domestic First this year, but I've found it annoying that there's no list ahead of time as to what the food might be or what's in the food.
Wednesday I asked for the turkey sandwich, but didn't eat it because of the pickles and mustard I was not expecting.
The food is already super cold as it is, I would appreciate it if we at least knew what we were ordering.

So, ahead of a Wednesday flight to El Salvador with family, could we get a list going of the ingredients used in various domestic first dishes?

I'll start:

Ribeye sandwich:
  • Bread
  • mayonnaise
  • thinly sliced beef
  • various greens
  • onion
Turkey sandwich:
  • bread
  • mustard
  • various greens
  • pickles
  • thin turkey breast

I hope those are old pictures! The back of the ham 'sandwich' is dated 7/2021. YIKES
