Interesting. I haven't been in SFO in a while, but was in a DEN club yesterday morning. Instead of oatmeal, they had the cream of wheat, but with all kinds of fresh fruits, nuts, etc. to put in it. Plus fruits and cottage cheese. Not my thing at all, but I was actually a little impressed with the selection of stuff to add to it.

Unfortunately, the rest of the breakfast was just mini bagels and bread to toast. Definitely would have been nice to have the oatmeal.

last night (03/03/17) I did fly to SFO from EWR (was on the 6:10 PM 77W #2132 (UA418) and was upgraded via RPU!) - but, given how late the flight was, I had to book it from SFO Gate 89 to Gate 65 to catch the final SFO-LAX flight - so I didn't get a chance to find out what any of the SFO UCs were serving.

With gluten free being the current fad diet restriction, why would they chose cream of wheat? Oatmeal is somewhat better (oats themselves are gluten free; it's contamination from other grains or rather, the manfacturer certifying it isn't contaminated, that seperates oatmeal from GF oatmeal). Or just go with cream of rice if United wants a watery baby food breakfast cereal...

Not to mention that oatmeal is a fairly common breakfast in the US. I see it all the time in hotels, but don't think I've ever seen cream of wheat. And to be honest, I just assumed that's what it was. There was no sign, I wasn't going to try it (it's disgusted me since I was forced to try it as a kid), but it looked like what I remember as cream of wheat.

Of course, if they just kept serving oatmeal, at least a few people here would complain about how they never change it up. "I'm so tired of oatmeal, why don't they ever serve gruel or porridge???"

I thought the pasta was great - will try the bacon and scallions addition tomorrow if I don't SDC via DEN.

So does LH in Germany. I guess it's a German thing and not US laws. Domestic airlines are just cheap and don't want to make it too easy to consume alcohol.

I wonder how they get around underage drinking laws- are U21s not allowed into LH lounges at all?
