A new year starts, and for ease of use, we'll start a new thread in order to keep it from getting too overwhelming.
For the previous incarnation, please see here.
Also, please keep this thread limited to actual reports about the specific on-board meals you were offered on an Alaska Airlines flight. Discussion beyond a report of a specific meal belongs over in the companion thread to this one.
If you wish to reply to a particular post here, please click the "Quote" button and then copy the resulting text that appears, go over to the above-mentioned thread, and paste it into the reply box in that thread, and then you may begin composing your reply below the copied text.
The moderators will attempt to perform regular maintenance on this thread and move discussion posts over to the other thread; if you notice a post that doesn't contain a report about a specific meal on an Alaska Airlines flight, you can help us out by clicking the "Alert A Moderator To This Post" triangle and letting us know that a bit of housekeeping needs to be done. (Only one report for a series of posts is necessary--you don't need to report each post.)

Worst Ever
The real worst ever meal was served on AS 248 from LAX to PVR on Mother's Day. Reheated white rice with spininch and peas in it--served in two small mounds, with a salad . Maybe, if the Alaska Airline's "chef" served this to the Executive Management Team, the passengers in the First Class Cabin could avoid these experiments.
If the goal was to increase onboard revenue, they were successful, as 7 of the 12 fisrt cabin passengers purchases main cabin meals.

Alaska served this on the 2pm SEA-DEN last Thursday. I couldn't believe they were serving greasy rice (it was not risotto) as a meal in first class. It's so pathetic it's laughable.

Phx to Sea this morning they didn't offer water or coffee preflight in F. Normally don't care but this morning I was thirsty and was looking forward to water. FA was just hanging out, not sure why she didn't offer.

5/15 8a PHX-SEA: french toast breakfast sandwich. It smelled good...didn't try it.
5/16 115p PDX-SFO: barley salad with a green salad on the side. I'm a huge barley salad person--there's normally a big bowl of it in my fridge (when I'm home for more than 24 hours). Alaska apparently knows my tastes...
I'm not sure anything AS serves is particularly healthy....

I just had that same bulgur salad SEA-SFO. It was really good. They served a raspberry dressing on the side but I'm glad I tasted it plain first because it had a light vinaigrette that was all it needed.
I wish on short flights that they'd give you something sweet to end - even just one piece of chocolate would make me happy.

Also, I posted a photo of the dish and comments early this morning. Tusphotog's post was immediately before it. I don't see the post now so I'm going to repost it. If this ends up being an inadvertent duplicate I will delete the post.
AS 310 -- SEA-SFO

Snack in F
Bulgar 'tabouleh' with a spinach side salad and raspberry vinaigrette. Salt & pepper, but no chocolate. I would have liked it better had I not found grit in my grains.

Flight 9 from MCO to SEA had a choice of quiche or an excellent beef hash yesterday morning. AS 93 from SEA to ANC featured a nice sandwich/salad combination.

SFO -> SEA AS 323 7:15am departure. Early morning breakfast - granola in a bowl with 2% milk and some fruit. Pretty good and just the right amount for me, but I think most people would say it would not be filling enough. Sorry no picture, my iPhone is out of batteries.

Same menu as post by CDKing referenced below. Warm nuts and drinks were served first, followed by the salad, with bread basket (choice of pretzel roll, sourdough roll or sunflower seed roll). For main course, I had the chicken, which was a little bland, but once some salt was added, tasted very good. Also, no capers, and the cherry tomato sauce was on top of the chicken.

SFO-SEA
5/27/13
Snack in F
Barley again, this time with bits of red pepper and an oily dressing. It came with a small side salad and a little tub of the (nasty textured) raspberry vinaigrette.
On the SEA-SFO segment last week the barley was mixed with parsley and had a lemony, light dressing.
When she announce the snack service, the lead FA quipped, "I have for you this evening a barley and red pepper salad. That's it. But I do have lots of cocktails." The cabin erupted in laughter.

After the guff going around for 'selfies' and people whipping out their cameras in F, I will not be providing pics.
Snack consisted of a pasta with spinach and pea alfredo sauce with a salad on the side. Of course, there was a black cherry Seattle Chocolate.
I'm not looking forward to the day that they phase those tasty chocolates out of the menu.

5/25 AS344 SEA-OAK: Granola, blueberries & milk. Much preferred over the watery eggs & rubbery potatoes I've had to LAX lately on the am flights.
5/26 AS341 OAK-SEA: 1/2 cheesy pastrami sandwich, salad with ranch and blackberry chocolate. Sandi was a bit chewy but washed it down with plenty of scotch.
