HA meals
Seems odd that while HA trying to bring a sample of Hawaii into the plane (the Hawaii theme videos, FAs and others wearing aloha shirts, etc.), the food is pretty generic airline food instead of a sample of things one might find in Hawaii like musubi, poi, kimchi, etc..

Hmmm, I guess they figure that passengers would rather read about kimchi than taste it?

It's been awhile so I don't know if HA still serves the turkey croissant in Y, but one of the local-style touches I always appreciated was that if flying ex-HNL/OGG to the mainland shoyu was always catered and available for that sandwich. For some reason, the west coast stations didn't cater shoyu, even though they did cater the turkey croissants.

The HNL->SJC regular meal recently was a turkey and cheese sandwich (just bread (not croissant), turkey, and cheese with a small packet of mustard on the side) and a bag of trail mix.

Considering the late hour of the flight (left at about 1:40 AM) I was pleasantly surprised the "snack service" was a small meal rather than a bag of cookies or pretzels like many mainland carriers these days.
