As it's unlikely I'll get to eat some breakfast, trying to see if it's worth buying some quick Tim Hortons at the airport. Thanks!
If it's open, definitely buy something at Timmies before you board.

UA691 ORD-DEN Mar30 on B773: Predeparture beverages offered in United First: Water, OJ and “champagne” - was fine but might have been Prosecco. Breakfast was choice of Denver Omelette (nice touch!) or Waffle with compote and fresh fruit side. Plated without cover. Real silverware. The waffle was very soggy and almost inedible. Fruit was the usual cut pineapple, orange, water melon, honeydew and blueberries - all fresh and fine. Inflight service was prompt, friendly and effective.

UA497 DEN-BOI Mar30 on MAX9: Predeparture beverages offered in United First: Water and “sparkling white wine.” The inconsistency in description of the fizzy alcohol beverage is strikingly typical United but again product was just fine.

So it seems that the pandemic service cuts are mostly behind us, at least on those flights today.

You might be in a Polaris seat, but it’s Premium Transcontinental (Business) catering. You can expect something in quality and quantity somewhere between domestic First and current Polaris catering.

If you’ve had a domestic F trayed meal, it’ll be slightly better/more, but not by much.
This is not quite correct, as Premium Transcon catering also includes a separate pre-arrival smaller snackish meal of a charcuterie plate or hummus tabouli plate (recent offerings).

Taps not open in time for 0610 YYZ-IAH! Clamato juice as consolation, perhaps.

Wait until TSA finds out that you are carrying aboard all that toxic liquid.

Not toxic - spicy! And you get to take your pick!

Premium transcon lax to ewr, 787. 12:45pm scheduled depart. No pdb offered. Only two choices; ricotta pasta and chicken with polenta. !nothing offered after lunch at all, no snack, no nothing! I was surprised. I thought there’s small thing later. Should I not have been?

Was pleasantly surprised to see the return of a full snack basket on UAX flight today. (GoJet EWR->CVG)

Other items included Biscoff, Kind Bars, bananas, etc.

IAH-LIM in J; you should have Polaris access at IAH, no?

Yep definitely, looking forward to that. Would just prefer having a small "snack" as I'd probably be up for 7-8ish hours before getting to IAH

A snack box like the ones they’re selling in the back.
