And yes, it is the F/J int'l breakfast (AA serves the same food in F as in J for the most part).Lots of airlines offer Bircher Muesli (which is muesli soaked in yoghurt with dried fruit and nuts, a step up from oatmeal). At least in F, and it doesn't seem to be a very popular choice. Healthy food rarely gets ordered on airplanes.

I think it would be neat for airplanes to serve a shot of tequila with lime and the option of a beer chaser. It would be a great start on morning flights. Another option is bourbon with Hershey Kisses. This could be a great way to start the day and the airlines could give it complimentary or at a reduced cost as Jose Cuervo and Jack Daniels could get into a deal with the airlines.

From the thread title, I was expecting a link to this. The Oatmeal on airplanes:

Sometimes before a morning flight I buy the McDonald's oatmeal, which is really just a goopy sweet substance that is an insult to oatmeal everywhere.

Trader Joe's has a great frozen steelcut oatmeal that you drop in a bowl, heat, and it's almost as good as homemade. Not exceptionally cheap ($3 for 2 servings, I think?) but it seems easy for an airline to adapt and put together with a little sugar, milk, and berries.
As mentioned, if you want oatmeal, AA is where it's at. Frequently offered as a breakfast choice on mid-cons. Strangely, it's usually absent from the transcon breakfast menu, where the cereal/vegetarian option is more likely to be Special K. It's wonderful to see something reasonably healthy as an airline food option, and it's pretty tasty too.
