After 1300, I believe you get a snack instead of lunch. Snack should be better than a refreshment though.

This doesn't particularly excite me, but United just tweeted this out.

And 2) nothing like gluten free soup to go alongside a calzone or burrito...
Hoping there is some change on that front too.

Wonder if the dinner thing was a mistake - though on shorter flights like Den-sfo "dinner" is really lunch

Aircraft/Seat: 737-800/2B

Basic UA breakfast of late; I chose the croissant instead of the cinnamon roll. The fruit bowl was a bit more generous than some I've had recently.

Flight/Route: UA720/SFO-DEN
Aircraft/Seat: 757-200/5E
Departure Time/Duration: 2:44 p.m./2:29
Meal: Lunch
Nuts and some red wine to start; an sUA aircraft but an sCO water glass.
Choice of a shrimp salad or a "chicken club wrap" that turned out to be the burrito-type offering. The shrimp (six of them) were served separate from the salad.
Not a bad salad once it was assembled; the mushroom bisque was above average.
After lunch, the crew served warm, cranberry white chocolate cookies.

I'm looking at ORD-DEN flights in F. Given the new meal policies and exception for this city pair, one would think that the 8:29p departure (UA1177) would be a Snack, but United.com shows Refreshments. Does United provide Refreshments on later flights that usually get meals?

old news
The introduced the gluten free soups back in November. They still only offer soup during domestic F lunch flights and while it would be nice if they offered them with dinner like in the PMCO days, I highly doubt they would improve anything. I mean they still have the same menus from two years ago so since someone at UA is under the impression that the food is "well received" why change?
