Me too, BWI-IAH in July on a sCO 739. Dep time around 5:30pm. Rest of the meal was that inedible burrito. Soup was good though.

Just to be clear- the Burger and Burrito are both considered "lunch" entrees by UA, but often times (^^) get "miscatered" onto dinner flights. The dinner entrees are the Beef with noodles, chicken cacciatore, spinach filled pasta etc and are served with a tiny appetizer and salad bowl.
In most cases, I actually prefer the "lunch" to the "dinner".

I've fly PHX-IAH very frequently dating deep into the pmCO days.
This "shorter" market has never had the "dinner" options during dinner time flights, always the "lunch".
It used to be that the cheeseburger/burrito/pita (now calzone) "lunch" would differ in that lunch flights had a fruit bowl while dinner flights had salad. Now they're both the same with soup and dinner roll as the only sides.

Flight/Route: UA1152/IAD-DEN
Aircraft/Seat: 737-900/4B
Departure Time/Duration: 8:12 a.m./3:34
Meal: Breakfast
Pre-departure beverage of choice. Orders taken front to back but I did see that 1K and GS was written next to names on the order sheet. Choice of cereal with fruit or cheese omelet. Yogurt serving seemed smaller but fruit cup seemed larger. FA also came around with basket of cinnamon rolls and croissants. Great service throughout the flight.

What can I expect?
Just wondering if anyone knows what I should expect for my FC "Snack" on an 8:00 pm departure - IAD to LAS, a 5 hour flight. Thanks for your help.

Although it seems like nothing can be worse, I recall a 2007 meal service from ORD-SJC in which the lunch was pizza, bread, and a brownie. One of my worst ever meals on UA. At least there is soup here...

I can't either. I'm guessing the poster just let the food sit there until the cookie came out, in order to get the full meal in one shot to post on FT, rather than actually eat it. Mind you, this would not have been an unreasonable choice, given that lame meal that's been around for months and months.
