If by "VEN" you intend Venice (VCE/LIPZ), I can say that there is little substantive difference between that any any other D1 route as concerning food/beverages. I have had good and bad, typically depending upon the FA in charge, and seems to have the same menus as ex-MXP, FCO. Be aware that it is usually (always?) an old 763 route, so the hard product is quite lacking. At least, that is my opinion: some may like the -300, I prefer the -400 or any of the A330/350.

I've heard what you've said re: "the hard product" elsewhere. I can't sleep sitting up so I'm hoping it will at least be better than sitting back in the back. We're bouncing off of Amsterdam on the way home so I suspect (hope?) the return will be better. Thanks for your feedback.

Yes, I did mean Venice, and thanks. I've been reading the "sad boxes" stories of dissatisfaction on here and was wondering if we should forage in the airport before hopping the plane. I carry glucose packs for emergencies but a tube of strawberry jelly isn't really sufficient for a 10-hour flight. 8-)

I don't think international long haul D1 ever got sad boxes

Had the Greek salad sad box on yesterday's flight. It was good. Everyone has learned to avoid the sandwich. The only option that was for the last row was sandwiches, so the FA went and found leftover meals from the inbound flight to offer instead, which everyone took instead of the sandwich. Also offered full PDB - YAY

I think I saw somewhere that American is going to bring some aspects of catering back in-house in their hubs to do all the issues they are having. Like a lot of other things, this is an industry wide issue that no one has a solution too.
I don't think a single station for a single US carrier has its stuff together if we are being honest but as said, they general rule seems to be that if they can't do proper catering on the out AND back, then no one is getting it.

Wow, I'm really surprised by AUA considering they have actual long international flights, one that comes to mind is KL's AUA-AMS flight, which I know is fully catered with hot meals. The fact DL uses the excuse AUA isn't able to cater is bs. Shame on DL!

I am flying ATL-SNA this Thursday. I haven't gotten a meal selection e-mail, so I'm guessing it will be a meal box.
Departure time around 10:00 a.m. maybe at least it will be banana bread.

Particularly sad box catered today by a poorly-resourced outstation called Hartsfield-Jackson. (ATL-YUL)
My neighbor had the same but hers was missing both dessert and utensils.

MUC-ATL: I’m stuffed with asparagus already so will try the pike perch. Similar pike perch has been offered out of Germany before and should be good…

Delicious teriyaki chicken. No other choice though other than a vegetarian dish. That cold rice with some peas and cucumber confused me.
