Miso glazed sea bass, preselection was available despite this being a first class route, not D1.

ATL-LAX A350
Cold chicken with hummus/couscous. Other option was braised beef, can't remember the third option.
Bonus A350 wing/cloud pic from seat 3D, flying this plane never gets old:

I let the perfesser have the last upgrade for ABQ-ATL yesterday and he said he thought the super grain box was actually pretty good. But then not paid F so expectations aren’t quite the same.

Figured I'd answer my own question with a bit of data. Sad to report the sad boxes on the 7am departure BOS-DFW this week. FA was amazing - pre departure she stopped catering on her own to ask "why BOS-DFW/AUS" still don't have meals [before you revolt - she did not delay the flight, just looking out for her pax].
Interestingly, I did not fly back from DFW, but she mentioned that a recent evening return AUS-BOS did have meals. I'll know more soon on the return portion, but sharing for the group.

Catering looked at her like she had 2 heads. No answers...she said she writes it up every flight. I sent a note in again to CC, but I still haven't heard back from April. What time of day was your DFW-BOS flight?

This might be a limitation. I thought that DL had ovens on all regional carriers with E75 at least.. o know it was always funny when Regional FA worked AA one day and DL next.. They'd sometimes forget that DL had ovens.. Had one try and hold departure claiming catering brought meals she couldn't serve.

Plastic cups in mainline F on an A220. Glassware on Skywest F on an E175. Makes no sense.

Delta is insane to keep serving boxes on a highly competitive route like BOS-DFW.

Probably not FTers, but it's something that frequent first class ticket buyers notice. If inflight meals didn't matter, they wouldn't have been served on shorter exception routes pre-pandemic.
In this case Delta is disadvantaging itself against a competitor with a major fortress hub on the other end, at a time when they're trying to be aggressive with a Boston expansion.
