I had these on my last flight of LAX and while I liked the sound of them I just didn't enjoy them at all. I'm a big fan of garlic but for my taste they just had WAY too much; completely overpowered the dish. Will likely still give them another shot as I'm hoping it was a one-off.

I think DL should offer something like this on every flight instead of going -too- fancy with their "cold spiced" and "impossible" options last fall.

Oh, wow. In my experience, the meatballs themselves actually were rather light and fairly unseasoned; the flavor came from the marinara sauce which I thought was quite nice. The garlic flavor that I got was from the toast. I like ordering them out of LAX and wouldn't hesitate to opt for them again.
I'm definitely going to give them another go on my next LAX-outbound.

Chicken and Mozzarella Salad. Was served this today on my flight ATL-SAL. First time with Delta and was a bit taken aback. Fly to Central America regularly with AA and UL who both serve hot meals with salads, sides, bread, etc. DL was only choice available for travel today when I booked late last night. Is this usual for a 3+ hour flight? Food wasn't bad but size was a joke, about the size you'd expect for an appetizer on other airlines.

MCI is one of the stations stuck on sad boxes. GEG, ELP, all the Canadian stations, I hope someone can replicate the Wiki on this thread.
Why did you fly DL? I'm very curious.
Travel UA and AA a lot, they provide club access when traveling to Central America but just bought my first DL flight ever and was turned away at club (told access when flying to Central America is only on Delta One which doesn't exist for that market.)
Interesting they do not match their competitors on this. Not an option for me goimg forward.

Main entree was meh. Portion seemed a bit uneven - too much polenta and not enough of everything else (veggies, sauce, or protein). FA wasn't sure what was in the meatballs, so I skipped that. Salad and fruit were reasonably fresh. Other (standard) options included a beef cheek dish, mushroom pasta, and a chicken salad.
