Also, what the hell did Delta do with it's catering? My food actually edible. Spinach ravioli was borderline tasty.
Spinach ravioli is a traditional Thanksgiving dish. It was reportedly served to the Pilgrims by an Indian tribe which had immigrated from Napoli.

I guess Delta is reading FlyerTalk! This was posted 17 days ago:

When did DL premium cabin food get so terribly bad?

the layout overhaul also added a 45-second delay between the time you hit “Submit” and the time the server actually refreshes the content

(just kidding; I’ve seen similar instances of nothingness)

Oh man! That's a riot. Please tell me that's real and not photoshopped.

Happy Thanksgiving to all (although everyone knows that "real" Thanksgiving is in October not November).

It's just a pic I found online in the past. I'm not sure, but, I think it was a story about an Emotional Support Animal!

I wonder where it was in the pecking order upgrade list.

I haven't a glue. But it might be a good idea, seeing as most of us only have a loose grip on reality.

Speaking of, I just finalized my plans for the SIN DO and am going home "via" the Island Hopper!

That's too bad that it's an old photo. The birds that Trump pardoned the day before Thanksgiving were from MN this year, and I was wondering whether they flew to DC on DL.

Proof that turkey is comfort food.

And these celebrity birds were too DYKWIA to fly on their own wings?
