Well, I tried that, and no dice. And I was all grumbly. But then, what
actually happened for the breakfast leg was that there was a choice of
"cereal" and, while not the classiest F meal imaginable, it was totally
kosher by accident! I wonder if the regular passengers were annoyed that
the meal was so spartan (well I guess there was also an omelet option).

The meal contained:
Raisin Bran (Kellogg's, sealed little bowl-box)
Milk (sealed little hechshered carton)
fresh strawberries (washed and in a dish but that was ok with me)
fresh banana (in its own peel)
[choice of beverage, of course; I got hot tea]
Knott's jam (hechshered little packet)
butter (hechshered little packet)

...of course, they also came around with biscuits/bagels and I couldn't
take one of those. I had the jam/butter left and was thisclose to putting
some on a raisin bran flake.

On the return, it would have been "dinner" but there were three hours of
delays and then a mess-up with catering, so there was no meal at all,
for anyone. There were [kosher, I assume] mixed nuts, and beverages.
But, I am deathly allergic to cashews, so that was more a matter of trying
to breathe in without getting too close to my neighbor's bowl of nut dust.

I had in my bag, on the return, some fantastic take-out from Ken's kosher
diner in Skokie, so that was dinner for me.
