Yesterday:
FLL-EWR
Warm Nuts
Shrimp Salad or "Chicken Enchilada"
Tomato/Basil Soup
Cranberry/White Chocolate cookies
The tomato soup was fantastic, as always.
EWR-SEA
Warm Nuts
Grilled Chicken with Gnocchi or Spinach Cannelloni
Salad in a newer, flatter plate
Sundaes
Many passes of the snack basket
I brought my own food for the EWR-SEA flight, but I don't actually mind that version of the chicken.
I'm not exactly heartbroken about the loss of the fruit on the shorter flights. It was often mediocre. And I never ate the shrimp or salmon on the transcons, so that doesn't bug me quite so much.
The split cashews? I can't say that I care that much.

Wish we could see menu in advance as with continental
I could then plan on eating on board or if the miserable meals I've recently had, buy something before

About the only thing that seems to change is what they call the chicken hot pocket? It was described as a chicken-mozzerella sandwich on my PDX-ORD flight on Sunday; its called the Chicken Bouquet on international flights!

The small seafood appetizers have been removed from non-p.s. transcon lunch and dinner flights ... can confirm from IAD-SAN and SFO-IAD experiences this past weekend.

Anybody know what I should expect for lunch this month on this route?
I wish UA would post menus for first class on its website; would help me plan since I can't skip meals.

Salad w/shrimp or chicken
I suggest pre-dining, especially at Tortas Frontera

Finally, a change of menu on this flight yesterday! Instead of penne pasta with red sauce and beef, the choices were a fancy pasta (didn't get the details) and grilled chicken with white rice and green beans. The chicken was surprisingly good--tender, not dry. No shrimp salad. Garden salad was limp. Oatmeal raisin cookies for dessert.

The "cajun chicken" was pretty good, I was impressed. Other entree options were the beef or the cheese pasta with squash veg.
