That ain't good eats - but hush about the salt and pepper packet, Kirby will get rid of those too. As it is, I am surprised they gave you TWO slices of cheddar AND a stem on one of the grapes. Oh Lord, the margins!

It appears the grapes were individually arranged to try to cover some of the empty white space.
No chance FA or catering put that much care into it.

Flew RT EWR-RSW last week.
Both directions one of the options was the Buffalo Chicken w/Cauliflower Rice (which I had seen previously on this thread).
However on both flights the FA taking orders simply described it as "Buffalo Chicken with Rice". Now if I had not known better I would have ordered this, but I personally despise cauliflower and the smell to me is detestable.
Well MOST of the 55+ crowd on these flights that ordered the mis-described dish must've felt the same because there was widespread complaining and asking for snack boxes instead.

UA1065 EWR to MEX 11/09. PDB of choice despite being a late aircraft!! & excellent FA tending to FC in a way that seemed like 2 FA's instead of 1. Also, it sounded like they did away with the rose, but maybe someone here could clarify that.
I pre-ordered a Hindu meal 72 hours in advance (to report how well EWR catering does it), and they never loaded it onto the plane. I mentioned this to the FA and she used her handheld device to immediately issue an ETC. There were 3 meal options: Pork, chicken or ravioli. I opted for the ravioli and, while it was plated quite nicely, it was dry and lacked sufficient sauce to save the dish. Assorted rolls were offered: multigrain, ciabatta, pretzel & sourdough. I got a sourdough and it...didn't taste of sourdough. Dessert was OK, some sort of coffee/crumb cake. Chicken was reported as good but tiny. The pork was HUGE, at least 2x the chicken portion.
Pardon the shadow, camera flash issue

Agreed. I've had it a number of times, always as a last resort, and it's always been dry and gummy like wallpaper paste. Surely UA knows how bad this dish is?

As a mostly vegetarian I’m glad people won’t fight me for the pasta dish...
