Maybe the salami is cut in cubes rather than sliced to prevent (as I saw at EWR) people from taking 10 slices to make a sandwhich?

Hi everyone,
Today we’re beginning a seasonal rotation of the United Club complimentary fresh food menus at our hubs. The menu launching today features more autumnal produce, hearty soups, and other seasonal items. We continue to progressively introduce a version of the previous menu at our line stations, and starting next year we’ll be introducing a new menu at all clubs with each season.
Here’s what you might see in our hub locations in the new rotation:

Who on earth has "cream of rice" for breakfast? Thankfully this has passed me by if there are some that do.

Actually, probably a plurality of the world's population, as the Chinese rice porridge dish known as 'congee' is a staple of their diet at breakfast. 
However, I'd expect this at an Air China lounge or the HKG United Club...Not an ubiquitous offering in the USA.
...Unless United is REALLY doing the China thing up and attempting to cater to our Asian American brethren.

I like that they are going to change things around every so often. The salad addition is great. But, to echo others, cream of rice? And the loss of the fresh berries for what is probably a sugary canned fruit salad is a bad move.
All in all, nice work UA.

Of all of the breakfast cereals, cream of rice? Again, I've never heard of it outside Asia (my earlier post about congee). I could tolerate and perhaps enjoy Cream of Wheat (or their more delicious cousin CoCo Wheats), or even if they went southern and had a delicious, buttery, perhaps cheesy grits or polenta.
I am excited about the soup offerings--can't quite tell, is it ONE of those will be available on a rotating basis, or are all three being offered at one time? I was not a fan of the vegetable--but all three of the new ones sound great.
I assume that the current offerings will be gone--these new items are a replacement of versus a compliment to the current offerings? I will miss the brownie brittle, hummus and couscous (or whatever it was) salad.

Totally agree I'm s soup lover. My guess? Definitely rotating basis, probably each one monthly.

I hope the kale salad is like the one at AC's MLL. I have to say, that was pretty tasty!

It's awful. I hope it's not a sign of the new UA that the food offerings go down hill.

ETA: The pita chips are DEFINITELY different. They are thinner and not as tasty as the other ones that tasted just like Stacy's. Ugh...
