I've got some flights in September and I'm curious if they were today, would either get a warm option (sitting up front)?

Oh, and note that the "dish" isn't meant to be frozen or refrigerated - simply stored on a "shelf". Or some warehouse or shipping container behind some warehouse out in who knows where land...

Ha! Too bad they wouldn't allow the MRE heater through security; there are a couple of them that aren't horrible. I was usually OK with Menu 10 (Chili and Macaroni) and Menu 13 (Cheese Tortellini).

LIH-SFO redeye: pre-departure beverage (PDF) water or sparking wine. Nuts were served before dinner. Dinner was choice between chicken katsu and garlic fried tofu. The flight attendants seemed friendly and efficient. I went to bed soon after and didn't wake up till near landing.
Chicken katsu and the whole meal was pretty decent.

Looking at the preorder for a morning flight IAD-DEN this week. I'm familiar with most of the options (waffle, oatmeal, egg white pastry, and egg scramble) but not "Gingerbread French Toast with Grilled Peaches." Is this a new offering or did they discover some leftover frozen stock from the holidays?

UA1978 5/14 EWR-SFO 8:35pm departure
Choice of chicken with polenta or cannelloni. Pasta honestly wasn't bad for United standards. Decently flavorful. Bread was not warmed and butter was hard as a rock. Also back to single tray service although with the 1 hour delay, anything to speed up service was actually appreciated.

Snack basket? Don't think they usually offer this but didn't check explicitly.
I'm sure there was a pre-arrival meal, most likely the usual hummus or charcuterie plate but I wasn't awake for it.

MIA - IAH 6:30AM departure
Choice of everything bagel or the croissant sandwich. I had the sandwich and thought it was very good. My partner requested a snackbox and it was provided.
IAH - AUA 9:45AM departure
Choice of egg scramble or waffle. I had the egg scramble and my partner had the waffle. Entrees were both very good, but the lack of any bread and the strawberry yogurt was disappointing. After breakfast I asked to try the new muddy bites snack in Y. FA said generally they are only free if you decline the first class meal, but made an exception only to come back and say they didn't have it. Supposedly it was added to the hemispheres magazine too soon.
AUA-IAD 4:10PM departure
Choice of chicken or vegetarian lasagna. Have not seen these entrees before, so pic attached. We both had the chicken entree, which came with mashed potatoes, carrots and a green veggie I did not eat. Roll served semi-warm. Cookie served cold wrapped in plastic.
IAD-IAH 12:59PM departure
Choice of chicken with latin rice or the Italian ragu. Both opted for the chicken entree. Tasted fine but portions too small.
IAH-SAN 6:30PM departure
Choice of the commonly referred to heart-attack sandwiches. We both declined I tried to get the muddy bites again, but still none available.
