Same old cheese and marinated tomatoe appetizer which is a very odd combination with this dish as it doesnt pair at all. What are these UA chefs thinking?
Other choice was "Ragu polenta" so I guess that's back again after a year.

Right down to the excessive use of carrots as filler.

Onboard options were the Thai chicken noodle entree and the impossible meatballs. Both served with same sides we are accustomed to.
I, too, wish the chicken curry noodle was the Thai version from 1-2 years ago but alas...for my next flight, Falafel it is.

And agree on the onions - also wasn’t sure what happened to the avocado from the description.

The cauliflower salad thing. I will say that the only flavor it featured was pepper, and that I do not plan on ordering it again in the future.
