BOS-RSW on 30 June. Choice of salmon poke bowl, vegetarian pasta, or Reuben. Since mine was the only upgrade to clear (into 1D), I was the last person to be asked and only the Reuben was left. I was able to deconstruct it and eat only what was appealing. That's a small cup of almonds on the tray along with chocolate mousse cake and a salad. The quality of the salad and the dessert was far better than the Reuben.

Has anyone had a transcon D1 where the meal is once again coursed, or are all the flights still suffering from PIAAO* syndrome?

damn I hope people on the plane that don't pre-select like "summer vegetables".

But is it normal for the FAs to know absolutely nothing about the wine they are serving? Ours didn’t know the country of each bottle, let alone anything about the producer or grape. Makes the whole experience feel decidedly less premium.
There was also no printed menu or QR code provided. So everything was based on what the FAs described to us.

Choice of the Impossible Burger, green chile chicken salad or Italian Burrata
For a mid afternoon departure this was actually perfect. The cheese and chicken were tasty and the cake was also really good.

Nice of them to do a cocktail service but Sun Chips and a canned cocktail are well...see Jonah Hill's face for the right reaction.
Choice of the impossible burrito, beef short rib or the shrimp poke bowl. This was good though three shrimp is a little skimpy. Also why a bowl of watermelons? The mango dessert is great at least.

You could do some awesome things with the watermelon but stuff like this, the chickpea thing, just come up so short.

they are, IMO, trying too hard and spending too little on some of the salad choices.

There's food available if you're hungry.
uh. alright.
