example in the meatballs posted. You would normally see a piece of bread (or basket) on the side and in place of the grilled bread on the same plate as the main meal would be replaced by......something that isn't bread.
Which granted, considering most American's love to eat the heck out of carbs, bread is a cheap and easy way to get there.

Have to say, I love so much bread - on many trips, bread is about the only thing I feel like eating - getting older & getting up at 3am to catch a flight messes with my stomach! Which is why I always pack a sandwich for my breakfast, in case nothing looks good (or, I'm not served food). So airlines can keep up that trend from my perspective :-)

looks like croutons to me. Some type of bread is, I am pretty sure, on every single plate in that picture.
Outside of the US, in my experience, I don't see nearly as much bread on top of bread on top of bread like we do in the US.

I have not notice that in my neck of the woods just yet and I am a huge bread eater. I have started to notice that some restaurants are starting to charge for bread and special butter or dips, but not out right not offering bread at all.

If anything I've seen a shift to bread being optional, but getting back to the topic
at hand, it definitely seems like standard practice for nearly every decent airline, in most places in the world, to offer something from the bread basket regardless of what the main entree is.

Not much different than missing PDBs and boxed food.
They can save money by not serving ancillary food stuff or just charge for it as an extra charge

I really wish at least some flights we'd get some more traditional options. Such as a salad with lettuce and cheese, tomatoes, and croutons instead of watermelon with feta and chickpeas for instance
don't know why the catering can't have more variety

Menus for ORD-SLC and SLC-HNL (D1) for 8/18/22.
I think I'm going with the Quiche and the short rib and (future) Mrs. PharmFlyer is going for the chia pudding and sous vide chicken

I hadn't done the route since mid-June, but I recently saw that hot meals and PDB are finally back for BNA-LAX in F.

Had the chance to try Delta's domestic F catering for the first time ever 2 weeks ago, and I liked what I got. The FA went through the motions but at least had a smile on her face and was cheerful and caring when she faced the passengers. Route was MSP-DCA, outbound in first, return in economy.
Preordered the coconut chia pudding as described in pharmflyer 's post above. Nice and light. The other choices were a quiche (not the same as the post above) and a charcuterie plate. The star however was the croissant and preserves, which was the best croissant I had since returning from Paris in 2018. The dark chocolate cherry bar on the way back was very good. Wish it were larger but it exceeded my expectations.

That dark chocolate cherry bar is the best snack in economy I've had. Period. They're organic, gluten-free, and actually very expensive. A 2 oz bar (double the size of what DL gives you) retails for $3 at Whole Foods.
