I noticed I had a wine glass on a recent breakfast flight. Seems if Jeff wants to save a few pennies, loading fewer wine glasses (esp on the trays) for breakfast flights would make a lot sense. I mean, they don't serve bread on a plate - they cheap it out with a bowl - seems like the new United's catering isn't interested in polish.
I understand the theory about loading fewer wine glasses to save money, but its kind of like the empty bowl. They are provided on the tray setup so the outstation, assuming they are a catering location, can use them for another meal.

IAH-BWI, 7:09 PM: Snack, small cold antipasto dish.

No meal. Just a snack basket passed around.

You will get 1-2 small packages of pretzels (no snack basket on UX) and a round of drinks.

There should be a delicious salad plated to order with your choice of dressings. Four entree choices. Sundae cart plus a wide international cheese selection. Oh and don't even get me started on the wine list!
Seriously? It's a 45 minute flight on an RJ. Get a bag of chips before you get on board and hope the flight doesn't cancel.

You get a drink, a snack and a 45-minute ride from Canada's finest city.

Exact contents of the box(PM)...
Pita chips
Acai Chocolate covered blueberry
Unedible cheese spread
even weirder hummus in a tube
no name milk crackers
you are only on a 45 minute flight... try 3.5/4 hours on one of these during dinnertime

I hope you didnt actually pay for this and thought it was somehow "business" class. There is more legroom in 7A on these flights :P

I had not realized that they were running any 2-class aircraft on that route. If your flight still has an F cabin, understand that this is a micro-haul on a RJ. There are no meals of any kind. Snack box means there's a package of hummus or somesuch. Snack basket means you pick stuff out of a basket they pass around.

Born and raised! I stand my ground and could debate it all day but I don't want to hijack this into an OMNI thread.
