What's funny is that I recently misunderstood the verbal menu, and ordered the "burrata". I didn't think the ravioli was bad, but of this choice I think I'd go with the standard "beef short ribs", which are fairly dependable.

Hah, once I was on an LH flight (short-haul Y) and over the noise of the engines all I could catch from the FA was "...oder Kδse?" (or the cheese?). That sounded good, and I promptly ended up with a "cheese sandwich", namely the ham-and-cheese sandwich with the ham removed to be vegetarian. It was... a mistake

DL 2407
LGA - MSY
A220-100
First Class: 3A
Booked for $120 about a week before departure. Platinum Medallion comp. upgrade cleared right at the start of the upgrade window. Also got to check out the stunning new SkyClub at LGA on grand opening day which was a nice surprise.

Really great service on this leg from Larissa. Choices for lunch were Salad w/ Chicken, Impossible Burger or a Chicken with Olives. Being in the last row and following FEBO I got to select first. I went with the salad and was very happy.
The pineapple was great and the dessert was restaurant quality.

JFK-AUA
Delta 613
June 5th First Class

1) no PDB (LOL)
2) sad box with wooden/bamboo utensils (although there was an actual glass for drinks)
3) absolutely ZERO snacks offered. No hint of a snack basket, not even the main cabin snacks were offered to first class.

Not sure if the FA was lazy or what. Just sat in the galley on her phone for the first half of the flight before passing out sad boxes.

Biggest disappointment was the snacks of course. No pretzels, chips, nothing. Just a sad box for a ~2k mile international flight.

Edit: forgot to add, FEBO not followed. I was in row 2 so was actually happy about this.

I think that makes 2 votes in favor of the raviolone (there was another strong positive review a while back), two against (I was pretty disappointed with it, per review upthread) and one somewhat neutral then. Someone needs to cast a tiebreaking vote

MSP-ATL
6/5
Dinner

I didn't anticipate taking this flight, but a misconnect at MSP driven by a late inbound AC let me reroute via ATL. Only avail seats were 1A and 1B, but thanks to FEBO, lucked out. Options were the impossible burrito, beef short rib and some kind of poke bowl. The short rib was fantastic, with the mashed and the onions. Truly delicious. The strawberry salad was delicious, as was the dessert. The only thing I didn't eat was the asparagus (which I don't like in general). Great service overall. Open bar PDBs on the ground too.

Haha the raviolone was the one thing I definitely wasn't going to pick on the menu, and unfortunately there are no other pictures of the other entrees in the thread it seems, so I'm weighing between the unspecified lamb parts and the salmon — I think the pre-order options are specific to each outstation so haven't seen anything about those two dishes yet.

Anyone know if proper Premium Select meals are back this month on intl. flights to Europe?
Apparently the Economy service with just a bigger seat is coming to an end?

Delta 365
Boston, Massachusetts
3:25 pm Atlanta, Georgia
6:18 pm First Class

Ravioli Pasta meal with cauliflower salad was literally inedible. Ravioli swimming in a disgusting cream sauce. Wilted Cauliflower salad with zero flavor sitting in some kind of red dressing. Found the food in the Crown Room quite good.

Flying LAX-DFW soon. First time on DL in many years, and disappointed to see this post. I am afraid to ask... what would be the contents of a morning box meal in First?

Sad box. There are many breakfast examples in this thread.

The sad box/plated food is absolutely determined by the outstation involved, except in the case of PHX which seems to be dependent on widebody or narrowbody. All hub-hub routes should have plated food if over the mileage limit.

Remote outposts which can't possibly have proper catering facilities

DFW is a true disappointment. With flights from DTW, LAX, BOS, and NYC all qualifying for meals, you would think they could figure out a way to cater in DFW!

Three of us travelling so (hopefully) will get some pics during the flight but going with the beef short rib, sous vide chicken, and warm vegetable plate.
