Dinner
t.p.s./p.t.s. Dinner menu for remainder of February:
One of the last to be seated (upgraded) to J on this newest 781 (A/C #1004 ). No PDB for me. Also, even though I saw them in one of the cabinets, no blue cloth tray cover napkins provided to anyone in the front 6 rows that were served from the front galley.
Anyway, here's the appetizer - 'twas duck not chicken:
Requested and received le short rib given my history with ravioli up front and in back:
When the sundae cart was brought to me I requested both chocolate syrup and chocolate chips as well as short serving of coffee to make an affogato. Purser took it upon himself to serve up the coffee in a unique flute that I hadn't seen before - 'tho unfortunately chilled instead of hot:
Turns out most folk fell asleep so no one partook of the wraps/half sandwiches. I requested and received one of each for my onward journeys...

That’s really funny. I’ve had this dish twice now on HNL-LAX in the last month and think it is one of the more disgusting things I’ve eating on UA. The chicken was a rubbery mess and swimming in the sauce. Both times. I choose the pasta now. But someone mentioned the tamale chicken dish from days gone by. Now that was good!

HNL-LAX
Delayed - original departure 8am, left at 2:30pm
Maybe because of the mechanical delay the flight received special catering from HNL instead of double catering from the Mainland, but I enjoyed an exceptional lunch yesterday form HNL-LAX. Honestly, I think this was the best chicken dish I have ever had on United.
Service began with warmed mixed nuts, including macadamia nuts. The main course, "cider chicken" was topped with thyme and served with sweet potatoes and the bulgur had cranberries and raisins in it. Very delicious. Then ice cream with whipped cream and a coconut caramel sauce plus Mai Tais.

But I agree 100% - the tamale chicken was the best and I miss it so much.
Delta did not even have hot nuts or an ice cream sundae.

No appetizer, but I don't think Delta offers appetizers either. Here's a trip report from HNL-LAX on Delta (disclaimer - link to blog). There was no appetizer.
Delta did not even have hot nuts or an ice cream sundae.

Yeah, if it's Refreshments after breakfast-time it's just the snack basket. I know some people who prefer that, but I'm basically never in the mood for "premium" pretzels or whatnot. I would much rather get a simple cheese plate or basically anything offered in Eurobiz on sub-1hr flights.
