Anyone with a recent DP on MSP-BOS meal service? It's over the 900 mile threshold and website says Dinner meal service, just wondering if we'll get sad boxes or a proper meal.

Can't wait to try one next week. Thinking this might be my new go-to!
Asked for a Tip Top Old Fashioned, which is what I usually do - FA brought me a Bee's Knees instead, which I was didn't know was an option! I think I still prefer the Old Fashioned, though.

No PDB, drink and food order before takeoff instead. Decided to skip the pasta...
Not at all a cauliflower fan, but no deal-breaker either. Pastrami sandwich was pretty good!

If you said “let’s put a bunch of celery on top of a quiche” I would say “why”. Well it works. I really like this one. Sadly no breads catered but they included the jam. No FEBO, no PDB, snack basket passed while we were eating our meal, lazy flight crew who spent most of the flight loudly laughing in the galley.

In the past, I would have expected a slightly better than normal meal offering on MSP-BOS because it's a business-oriented (and would have been high yielding) route. I don't know whether DL has returned to this convention.

I'm flying from JFK to LAX in D1, and to be honest, the selections are underwhelming. Would you all recommend the Southwestern grain bowl, Moroccan Chicken Stew, or the Impossible Meatballs with orzo? I've had the meatballs in the past and they're delicious -- at the same time, they're super salty as well.
Anyone have any suggestions?
