Can't even spring for real utensils. Same thing on transcon routes for pre-arrival snack.
Just booked a last minute out-of-blue itinerary for this week with two separate carriers both not starting with the letter U. Expecting and looking forward to better inflight meals and overall experience.

Thanks but since Thai chicken seems to be the current "favorite" and our own experience is that all Thai food is made with a fish sauce base, even the chicken I think we are going to just see what we can grab in our DEN layover. pre 6am out of LAS all we will want to do is grab a nap.

What about breakfast on westbound flights to Hawaii in October? Departing from LAX if that makes a difference (vs some of the longer routes from DEN, ORD, etc.).

Spinach & kale egg white bites with fire roasted pepper sauce, charred tomato, roasted fingerling potatoes, sauteed mushrooms & chicken apple sausage or French Toast with Vanilla Sauce. Served with fresh fruit bowl, yogurt, warm croissant, butter, fruit preserve. Pre-arrival service should be a warmed 'Pie in the Sky.'

EWR to LAX yesterday. They had a choice between chicken w/polenta and ravioli. I thought the chicken was pretty good. Pre-arrival snack was choice between hummus and fruit & cheese plate.

That is my favorite UA breakfast. Also had it from LAX-JFK last week. Filling and delicious. Nice fruit and so happy to have hot croissants now, though I stop by club before flight and get better croissants plus better yogurt.

Ditto. The kale and spinach egg white bites are a distinct second, but they're not bad either.

UA 1720: OGG to DEN
October 1, 2021
Boeing 767-300, Dinner, Breakfast
I slept through the dinner service, as did most people on this 10pm departure, but it sounded like it was the same dinner service as offered on OGG/HNL-ORD/IAH etc. Three options including teriyaki chicken.
Two choices for breakfast, a "protein plate" or a "plain omelette with chorizo on the side". I had the latter, and at altitude I can't really tell if it was mainland chorizo or a Hawiian Portugese sausage, but definitely trying to be a Hawaiian breakfast plate. Included two stewed tomatoes, some so-so fruit (pineapple was probably great by mainland standards, mediocre for Hawaii), cold wrapped croissant, and yogurt. The plastic utensils make another appearance, and I'm not sure if this flight is double-catered out of DEN so that's why? It was irritatingly difficult to try to do anything to the omelette with a plastic fork.
The "protein plate" appeared to consist of a main of cheese and fruit with a hard-boiled egg and a side of almonds.
